Final Cut 23.976 sequence preset is interlaced? What???

[yzmotoxer807]

I was experimenting with the different sequence presets in fcp since I got my dvx100b and I noticed that in when set to the DV NTSC 48kHz - 23.98 preset, the quicktime video settings are set on dv/dvcpro (this makes sense) at 100% quality (makes sense) but then the scan mode is set to interlaced. Why is this? Should it be set to progressive when using progressive footage? What's the deal? Check the picture.

Anyone?

Yes, you want to change the 'Scan Mode' from interlaced to progressive.

Also, what does your 'Easy Setup' look like? Does it look like this:

(disregard the Anamorphic if you aren't shooting 16:9 or squeeze mode)

Cool, thanks. Its weird that it would be in interlaced from apple and that they didnt catch this. By the way, as far as the easy setup goes, I never looked before but there is none on my system for 23.98 for whatever reason. Oh well Ill make one.
