I'm sure this is a "dumb noob" problem I'm having...
I created a new sequence using the following settings:
Capture - HDV
Sequence - HDV 1080i60
Device - Sony HDV Firewire
I'm using a Sony HDV camera as a deck to capture video from tapes that were recorded with a Canon XH-A1.
I'm using log and capture / capture now to get all the clips off of the tapes. Works great, no problems.
The video I'm capturing was filmed in 1080i60. I'm deinterlacing it using the internal deinterlace effect in FCP. That works great.
The problem is this. Once I deinterlace the clip, it plays at double speed. That makes sense to me, though. Fewer frames means it plays faster.
So I adjust the speed of the clip down 50%. That fixes the problem, EXCEPT -
Now my clip on the timeline is twice as long as it was, and on the timeline the clip appears to still be playing even when the actual playback is finished.
How do I fix this? Do I need to create an entire separate sequence at 1080p30 for video I've deinterlaced or something?
One other thing I tried was converting the HDV material to DVCPRO HD 1080i60 in Compressor. Once I did that I opened the clip in Cinema Tools and tried a reverse telecine. The image was still interlaced afterward. I thought with XH-A1 footage filmed at 60i that a reverse telecine was supposed to work.
Other than all of the headaches dealing with interlacing and pulldown removal, I'm loving FCS2. Color absolutely blows me away. I'm a big fan of the Curves tool in Photoshop, so jumping into Color felt like being at home. Once I get past file format issues I'll be really happy.
