Field Order/Dominance problem with FCP and DVX

I just shot some footage on my DVX while out of town. I'm attempting to capture it into FCP and I'm seeing major field order "jaggies."

The footage was shot at 24Pa (but I've also noticed it in 30P with FCP). When in the log and capture window the footage has what APPEARS to be field order problems (jaggies at the edges on movement, etc.) I have the capture settings set for 24Pa 2332, 48khz, etc.

I never had a problem in premier with field ordering. I simply captured, edited exported and then in AE set the field order and viola. I've read the help file on Field Dominance but cannot find where to set it in the clip settings.

Can anyone help me out? I'd appreciate it. This is my first go with FCP and I'm working on a short for myself as a tutorial before i get into client work. I'm sure this is something really basic but I can't for the life of me find it.

Thanks in advance.
 
Re: Field Order/Dominance problem with FCP and DVX

If it's just in the log and capture window, don't worry... during capture, the presented image quality is sacrificed to allow capturing without drops; and who knows if it is displayed before or after pulldown, etc. Do you have any problems after the capture process?
