Progressive Footage Looks Interlaced!?!?!?

Hey gang!

I shot a corporate training video a week or so ago using 2 DVX100a. I shot in 24p. I am using Premiere Pro 1.5. I captured using firewire into a 4x3 timeline because I shot in letterbox, so I could export entire sequences as TIFF Frames to bring into Photozoom Pro to resize ALL of the imgages. Once resized, I imported the entire newly sized TIFF sequence into a WIDESCREEN 23.97 timeline in Premiere Pro (if you seen Disjectas work and method you might be familiar with this procedure. It really does a slamming job. But, I digress).

Now, for some reason, In just this one scene, I am getting interlaced footage from just ONE of my cameras. I can't figure it out. I was very careful about cam settings and so forth. I made sure the settings on both were identical yet in this particular scene the image from one camera, perfectly fine. From this camera in this scene it looks horribly interlaced.

Sorry about the image size. I had to send it this size for this reason...and here is where the plot thickens. When I resized this image in Photoshop JUST now to post here the interlaced lines are gone...as in...

Now, these images were created in Photozoom Pro, resized from 720x480 to 720x640. If you are not familiar with that workflow...the TIFF sequence then gets brought into a WIDESCREEN timeline and interpreted as 1.2 footage leaving you with perfect widescreen footage to work with.

The only clue I've gotten so far as what my problem is is the resizing of the photo. But I can't seem to make a connection to the cause of this since Camera A looks fine.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

PS Yes, I have exported this entire movie as an MPEG and yes the interlaced lines ARE in fact present on the TV.

Did you shoot 24P, or 24PA? Premiere 1.5 cannot remove 3:2 pulldown. So Shooting 24P normal is a giant headache with Premiere Pro 1.5. My best advice would be to upgrade to 2.0, which handles both types of 24p footage properly.

Oh man. That bites. Yeah, I shot 24p. Are you saying that all things being equal, if I shot in letterbox mode and changed only the 24p to the 24pa mode, I wouldn't be having this problem?

Because, if thats the case, I will steer clear of this headache in the future...

Just odd it is only giving me a problem on only part of the footage. I guess I can be thankful for that...
