FCP to Color and back - Interlacing issue

[electricpig]

I've edited some longform FCP sequences in DVCPro50, anamorphic, progressive PAL.

Sent to Color, graded and sent back to FCP

It all arrives back to FCP as Field Dominance: Upper (Odd)
checking an XML Color export in a text editor shows: Lower (Even)

I've done a search and replace in the text editor and changed all occurances to: None
FCP ignores this on import, and seems to be screwing with the fields in general.

what's going on when I've gone nowhere near interlaced footage?

I can change these all manually inside FCP, but there's about 190 clips, and I've got 7 of these progs. As Field Dominance isn't an attribute I can't change all together.

Can anybody shed any light on this? V.frustrating

I'd switch them to ProRes, Pal support in Color is iffy.

I've exported the rendered Color files to ProRes. Same results as DVCPro50

Yep I meant make them ProRes in FCP first before sending to Color.

streuth... Guess I'll change the field dominance by hand then in FCP, unless there's a way to do it globaly on all the clips in a timeline?

Too far down the line, and too much generated data already to do that with input clips.

Thanks for your help by the way.
