C100: C100 Workflow in CS6

Does anyone have a C100 workflow that is working for CS6. I am getting some aliasing in my footage that should not be there. I have seen the fix in FCPX to change the field dominance but I cannot find anyone who has a CS6 fix. I have tried interpreting the footage but nothing seems to be getting it right. Any help would be appreciated. I would prefer to edit natively if possible. Thanks
 
First thing that comes to mind is rewrap in ClipWrap before importing.

I will be messing around with CS6 and C100 tomorrow I will report my findings.
 
I'm importing into AVCHD sequence, 1080 24P and most things look fine but a lot of details upon inspection have aliasing on edges and carpet, etc. I shot my daughters Christmas program last night and the lighting was horrible (fluorescents in a dark room!!) but the footage actually looks good on my TV. Just for fun I did a log and transfer in FCP 7 to Prores and I have the same problem but when I look at the ProRes files that I transcoded (ProResLT) in Quicktime they look great so it is something with the sequence settings or conforming the footage that is the culprit. I have never used ClipWrap but maybe I need to try that.
 
Ok. I have noticed that my camera was set to PF24 which I assume is the issue. I have never had a camera that shot with that before, never had to deal with pulldown removal.
 
Right, i'm just going to be leaving mine on true 24P, I never see any reason to go to any of the pulldown or interlaced material.

As I understand it (a universal qualifier that indicates I could easily be totally wrong), if you record anything to an external recorder via the HDMI out, you will have to deal with the pulldown. Please, somebody correct me as I truly hope I'm wrong.

If you use an Atmos Ninja 2 it will do the pulldown. I have set the camera to PF25, the Ninja auto-detects it as 25P and records to ProRes as 25P. The file is definitely progressive.
Note that you can also switch the Ninja manually back to 50i if you really want to.

Again, as I understand it, the Ninja 2 is the only option...the C100 outputs 60i (or 50i) from the HDMI port only. Either you do the pulldown automatically with Ninja 2 or you do it painfully with AE (or something). Again, please correct me if I'm mistaken.

No, I think the Sound Devices PIX 220i/240i also do automatic pulldown according to the specs (I haven't used one).
Though they are more than twice/three times the price of a Ninja respectively.
