CS4 and AF100 material - progressive shown as interlaced?!?!

[mike9399]

While editing a project i just noticed something.
I shot my video with the Pana AF100 in 1920x1080 p25, so i created a project in CS4 - AVCD, 1080p25 - but the material is shown RED in the timeline, so must be rendered. If i create a project with the setting AVCHD, 1080i50 the material is colorless, so like it would be native - somehow doesn't make sense to me?!?! Anyone can explain that to me? I do something wrong?

-Choose AVCHD 1080p25
-Import your footage
-Drag your clip to the "Create new sequence button". This will create a sequence based on that clip.
-Delete the original AVCHD sequence.

The reason it works fine with 1080i50 is that the 25p is probably recorded over 50i. This is the same for 30p footage recorded in NTSC .. the clip is 30p but is recorded over 60i, therefore the sequence needs to be 60i. If you follow my steps above it'll probably create a 50i sequence.

Just that i get it right, so in the end the camcorder is recording in 50i pal or 60i ntsc and converting internally into 25p/30p... so i also could just film interlaced and make it progressive within premiere or? Not that i makes big sense doing that, just for my understanding.
Besides that, based on your comment i tested some things and indeed, editing in an "i" sequence is fluid and then i just export it progressive = me happy.

Editing in an i-sequence and exporting progressive will make the software deinterlace the image as it thinks it's interlaced. The end result (when viewed fullscreen) will have more jaggies.
