Correct p2 capture method?

[emptytea]

Hi.
- I just recently imported HVX200 footage into my MacBookPro for a feature length movie. It was shot on 1080i/24p mode.
- I brought it into FCP, which is converted from MXF files to MOV, without changing any settings.
- When I edit in the timeline, i notice a weird interlace thing. I deinterlace it, which solves the problem.

3 questions:
1) is there anything I should have done (specific settings) to have it imported correctly?
2) in case i captured it at a wrong setting, is it reversible?
3) does de-interlacing cause a loss of quality?

I'm sorry if I'm a noob, but please help me. I'm losing sleep over this. THANKS SO MUCH FOR ANY HELP!

check your sequence settings.
make sure your at 23.9 fps and your removing flagged frames.

how does one remove a "flagged frame" (after already files have already been imported).

You need to be more specific about your workflow and settinigs.
Was it shot 24p or 24pa?
What are your timeline settings?
Are you seeing the interlaced lines on the computer monitor or a TV?
