Sorry, I've been busy with some other things.
How do I properly set up a group to be progressive while the clip inside it is interlaced and have these properties reported to me properly? (this is something we worked so hard on for FCP 6 and 7 and we really need this functionality).
One way to do it is as follows:
1) Create a group 2) Inside that group create another inner group 3) Put your main footage inside the inner group 4) Put your other footage in the outer group 5) Apply your filter to the inner group 6) Drop your other footage into its image well
Does that achieve what you want? (Note that the other footage does not have to be disabled as in the picture. I just did that for my testing.) If it doesn't achieve what you want, could you explain in more detail what you want?
Is Motion 5 always going to report to me that the output is interlaced if the input is interlaced? And report to me the output is progressive if the input is progressive? I suppose we can ask the user what the output field-ness is if this is the case. Argh, more tech support on our end.
It seems like there are cases where it doesn't happen that way, like if both pieces of footage are in the same group, and the filter is on the group, the interlaced footage seems to get reported as progressive, which seems wrong to me. Does that seem wrong to you?

In Motion 5 if I put an interlaced clip inside a group in a progressive project, and my test effect which checks out images, I get that the in and out field orders of the inputs and outputs are interlaced.

And if have lower field first footage and I request input frame 7.5 then I get reported to me that the frame returned to me is made from the lower field, when indeed it is made from the upper field (the second field in time). Once again, I suppose I can get the field order for the clip, decide whether we are being rendered at time N or N+0.5 and do the appropriate calculation myself. This would be great to have fixed.
