Interlacing Problems with 24p footage, save me.

Problem: do read on..

I shot at the 24p setting on the dvx100b, and imported my footage with normal NTSC sesttings, which seem to be the only ones available. Yet, every few frames appear to have the interlace effect, and, the idea of 24p is a non-interlaced progressive image running at 24 frames per second - and such quality just doesn't seem to be the case.

The interlacing is even more pronounced when I export it to DVD - when viewed on a television or in a DVD player, the interlacing occurs in huge horizontal blocks that make the movie unviewable.

What can I set up in Final Cut PRO or on the Camera to get a timeline and footage running at 24p with no 'i' effects? Either to correct the problem on the timeline, to address the problem before my next movie is imported and edited, or to alter something in exporting the final product. I'm not even positive what's wrong, or if anything can be done..

I'd appriciate any help I could get. Thanks.
 
I'm still getting the every few frames are interlaced effect.

Any setting that my sequence / timeline needs to be set on?
 
Like Blaine mentioned - it sounds like you're dealing with 24P footage with a pulldown, which means your footage is 29.97. In that case, you should be editing in a 29.97 timeline in FCP - and the few interlaced frames you're seeing as absolutely normal.

If you want to work with 23.98fps footage, then next time you should shoot in 24P ADVANCED mode (24PA)
 
Thank you.

I switched f5 to f6, shot some footage, and imported the video with 2:3:3:2 capture setting. Now, what should my timeline be set to. I feel like nothing matches it. The interlacing problem is gone, but now (not when played directly from my bin, but when put into the timeline) their are repeated frames in place of the interlaced one.

lols.

So is there really any way or setting for the timeline to play this footage without creating this framerate issue? I don't want repeated frames or interlaced frames. I just want to edit normal footage.
 
Alright, I'm guessing that pulldown removal merely replaces said interlaced frames with non interlaced frames, but those frames are not original they are repeated. hm.
