Very basic question about the Sony FX1

Now that I have a beachtek if I run across an FX1 I can use it. But this is my question. For the first time I played around in Cinema tools. I have a version of "Wages of Sin" that had interlace lines in it. The DVD doesn't have this and the iPod file doesn't have it so I wondered why this version did.

I shot it at 24p (basic not 24 advanced) so I was confused as to why I-lines were on this version (mainly during the martial arts scenes). So I did a 24p conform in Cinema Tools and the problem was solved in about 20 minutes. And I can toss the file on a DVD or have it downloaded from the web.

Now, my question is if shoot on a Sony FX1 (or any older DV or 1080i HDV camera) and simply did a 24p conform any idea how that would look? I could shoot in 50i and conform from there. I simply love the look of the FX1, I won't lie. I don't like Sony but that camera has been something I've wanted for awhile. What do you guys think? Has anyone tried this?

The video is hot. I was thinking about not even bothering with Cineframe, shooting 60i and simply conforming. I was thinking about 50i but the FX doesn't do 50i I don't think. Conforming 50i would give me 25fps and one of those frames would be dropped for a true 24p in the conform.

By the way, whose the singer? She's a babe. I think I mentioned to someone earlier about how I like black rock. That's a few black female rockers out there that will never get their day (especially singing songs like this) because of the evil hands that control permeates our media today, specifically there to keep people in their place. This song is some what all about that. I love it.

Great shout out to "They Live" by the way.

You can do the 50i to 25p conversion and I've heard it works fine, but with Cineframe24 you go through less steps. You digitize, convert in Compressor3 and you're ready to edit in 24p.
 
Ah, I see. I was talking about editing everything together, exporting it as a quicktime then conforming. That's what I did last time with the WOS file.

That could work, but you might get blended edits, where the field of one shot, gets blended with a field from the next. I've done the conform after the fact from 60i, and editing in a 24p timeline from the get go is so much better.
