jes part 2

[blues]

Sorry but I have some few more questions about jes: whats the reason for choosing the top fieled first(in) instead of progressive(in) in the input section. 2) in the nclc choice is it HD,NTSC or PAL?3) when de-interlaced the file size significantly drops; can u explain why? 3) when I open finalcut and set the audio video setting before I use Log and Transfer,I noticed that in the capture preset there is no prores 422 it says HDV prores 422.Do I choose that anyway? or does it matter since Prores422 was chosen in the preference pane of the log and transfer window Thanks again.

1. The 1080p24 footage is contained in a 1080i60 codec that runs top field first. It's as simple as that, the footage going into JES is interlaced and the dominant field is the top one.
2. The file size drops because you are basically throwing away the extra, unnecessary, info inside of the codec. Reducing from 60i to 24p.
3. Your capture preset doesn't matter. What does matter is the preference you choose in the log and transfer window. Click on the gear drop down at the top, choose preferences, and under the AVCHD Plugin setting pick your target format. I use ProRes 422 (LT).

nclc would be HD since you shot in HD.
