I recorded footage at 1080i Progressive mode @ 24fps onto a CF card.
I brought it into final cut pro and it registers as 23.98FPS. I looked at the footage frame by frame, and saw no interlacing at all - so does this actually mean its 1080P footage? The footage looked great and seemed to play back properly.
Then I brought that same footage from the CF card into the AVID. I created a 1080 HDV project at 59.94.(The footage wouldn't seem to import into anything besides 59.94 mode) The avid transcoded it to some proprietary dnx codec, but it was a really fast import. Upon looking at the footage in the AVID, it was all stuttery/strobe looking. The motion was all weird. It definitely did not look right. But I couldn't figure out any other way to import the footage into the AVID. So it appears the AVID can't handle the 1080i Progressive mode footage.. is this correct or am I doing something wrong?
