Re: Don't Disregard Previous Post - I Still Don't Have Explanation

Okay. Success. But first I re-captured the HDV as ProRes 23.98 with the MXO2. No luck - big interlace problem. Then I tried re-capturing as 29.97 (even though the clip properties say 24p) and then removing pulldown. The interlacing is even worse. Then I did something original. I read the FCP manual. Which says if the material is interlaced, use Compressor (not the De-Interlace setting but the Progressive Frame Control). So I look at the Browser for the later clips from the shoot in question. They say 24p. Then I look at the earlier clips shot and captured (as ProRes) together. These say 29.97. Go figure. I put both 24p and 29.97 clips thru Compressor and voila! Problem solved.
