I shot in 24p in SD, transfered via firewire using Avid Liquid.
Dropped it in a custom timeline (made sure the timeline says 'Progressive') with 23.98fps in 16:9

In a few frames when i scrub thro, i get these "interlace"/"wiggles" on the edges, it dissappears in the next few frames and appears intermittently. These are screencapture of subseqent frames.

any ideas? I thot these appear only in *interlace* footage.. why am I getting this in progressive footage?

same problem over here

I noticed this a few weeks ago but I couldnt see it in the footage but only the frame grab.

Here is one of my wiggly grabs:

Click the "Q" (quality inlay) button and select "High Quality" and then below that select "Odd Field". This will flatten an interlaced image for view on an LCD computer screen.

Also right click on your clip in the rack and look at properties. Is the clip in fact interlaced?

The SD 24p modes on the HD100 are just like the ones on the DVX100 -- the progressive-scanned images are stored in an interlaced 60i format, using either 2:3 or 2:3:3:2 cadence. Thus, there really is still some interlacing used to divide the frames evenly between the fields. Stephen's suggestion will help make these invisible while you're editing, but they are actually needed internally (it helps make 24p look smoother).

Yes - you are right, properties says "Interlaced - Yes (BT field first)" - I had no idea that this cam can shoot interlaced... I thot it shot progressive all the way...!

Here is the camera setup for this shot:
---VIDEO FORMAT---
FRAMERATE : 24
REC : DV-24PA
ASPECT : 16:9
HDV PB OUTPUT : NATIVE
PB TAPE : AUTO
OUTPUT TERMINAL: AUTO
SET UP : 7.5%

BTW, I used a old Panasonic PV-GS70 (http://www.dvspot.com/reviews/panasonic/pv_gs70-review/index.shtml) to capture the footage, as its a SD cam and I didnt want to use HD100's head -
would this have converted my progressive footage into interlaced?

Ram,

Are you sure this was recorded in 2:3:3:2 24PA mode and not standard 2:3 24P mode?
In "advanced" pulldown mode you should be able to capture and "throw away" the extra frames. Stephen, does Liquid do this during capture, or is there an additional step to create 23.98 from the 2:3:3:2 29.97 DV file?

Out of curiosity, why does the camera have 7.5% setup selected?

Isn't all digital video shot at 0 setup?... with 7.5 setup added if and when the video was transferred to an analog signal....

It only applies to the composite out for NTSC signals, the digital image is unaffected by this menu setting. It is necessary to add setup in North America when viewing on a NTSC TV, but in Japan, keep it set to 0.

Yes, thank you. That's what I thought. In this case the camera was set at 7.5 for its analog outputs, but the setting had no bearing on what was recorded to tape and subsequently captured in this example.
