Hey,

I've been capturing my footage using Adobe Premiere Pro 2 and have noticed that there is very, very slight interlacing when playing my unedited raw footage back. I have the project settings set to 24P and I captured it in 24P, so I don't know what gives. I've recently formatted and and reinstalled and there wasn't this problem before.
Anyone have any idea?

Anyone?
Also, are there any 3rd party programs that will capture 24P footage perfectly that I can try out?

if i render it as a straight DV AVI, yes. I usually only render WMV and that gets rid of it. I havent tried Quicktime yet.

The thing is it never used to capture everything interlaced like this, it used to come across as clean when first captured.
 
That's weird. I'm not familiar enough with Premiere to help you out with settings or anything, so I'll leave that to someone who uses it.

how do you know whether you shoot on 24p or 24pa ?

5th scene dial (cineswitch) is 24P and 6th scene dial is 24PA.

i was also having that problem with premier when using 24P footage, but i think thats because if your working on a 24P timeline in your NLE your supposed to be shooting 24PA. Also, as far as when rendering as an AVI, it WILL look interlaced when played back. You need to Frameserv out your premier project using "debugmode frameserver" and then import the frameserved avi to your encoding program. (Tmpg/CCE/CANOPUS/VIRTUALDUB/NANDUB/ETC) Then, in your encoding program if your doing mpg2 for DVD, you need to specify the pulldown. Otherwise, SVCD/VCD offer a native 24P "film videocd" option where no pulldown is needed. Then, your footage WILL NOT look interlaced. Although, every once in a while you WILL SEE an interlaced frame or two if you didnt shoot in 24PA.
