Hallo guys and Good morning.
I just went trough the all night to found out what to do if I'm using the old good Final Cut Pro 5 with a DVX100B Pal version who's shooting in progressive.
Now, the question is: do I need to change something on capture settings, stuff like that? There is no problem about the progressive? Because I'm going to put in my computer fifteen hours of material, so I would like to start with, let's say, the right feet.
The camera is in prog. so, should the software know this as well, and if yes, in what kind of way? Because is not mentioned somewhere about 25p.
Something else make me mad: If you click Sequence>Settings... you'll find the tab, the first page of this tab is called "General" there is a section such "Quicktime General Settings", if you click "Advanced" you'll find another section with the option: Interlaced or Progressive. Well, is this connect than with the output material?

Thanks guys, thanks all for help.

Hallo Cap.
What you mean? You mean the software doesn't need to know anything? Anything connected with interlaced and progressive is something that I should not care about? If you don't reply I guess the answer should be yes. But remember, I speak about PAL systems.
How the weather in San Francisco?

Cheers and thanks

Nono -- Yes, yes.

There is nothing to worry about with interlaced or progressive footage. FCP handles both as they are. The ONLY setting you MIGHT want to mess with is field dominance. But I've never touched that and I shoot progressive all the time.

Weather out here is typical SF... highs mid 80s - lows get down to upper 50s at night with a VERY cool wind off the bay. Won't change again until November. Alas.
