interlacing progressive video Question

Hi Guys,

Im using prem pro 2017 v 11.0

Seq settings Sony XDCAM EX1080i (HQ)     The output does have to be interlaced.

I need to mix DJI drone clips that have been shot in progressive 60P, (59.94 P actually I believe) with  interlaced clips 59.94i that I have taken on either my Sony PMW 500 XDcam or my sony fs5.

Im finding when I put the drone clips to the interlaced time line they are ok but once rendered out they fall apart.

Im hoping there is a simple solution to clip settings on Drone (progressive) clips to make them behave like interlaced clips.

The .mov drone clips look as good as they should as a clip.

Should I expect this mix of progressive and interlaced clips to an interlaced time line to look as pristine as I believe it should?

Is there a simply step by step solution for me on this?

Regards Rich

    You should be able to do this without problems. In my experience, footage shot at 60p (59.94) looks very good in a 29.97 interlaced timeline (60i) - with each frame from the 60p material being converted to a field.

    Can you post a screen shot of you sequence settings, and a screen shot or better yet post a sample of the artifact you are seeing when you export the drone footage from the timeline?

    Does your final output need to be interlaced or progressive?

    What frame rate do you need your final exported output to be?

    Try bringing everything into a 29.97 timeline.  Your 60p drone footage you'll be able to achieve smooth motion with no cadence, and your 60i footage should be able to pull down into 29.97 timeline. Test by interpreting your footage to 29.97 before putting it into the 29.97 timeline. You can do this by right clicking on your clips inside Premiere and press interpret; a window will pop up asking how you would like Premiere to interpret your footage.

    Thanks for reply.

    Once I open the Modify-interpret window what settings should I apply to make it right for interlaced seq?

    Options that I can change seem to be

    Frame Rate

    Pixel Aspect

    Field order

    alpha channel greyed out.

    First, create your sequence 29.97 (Progressive). For now, just worry about Frame Rate and Field order when interpreting. When interpreting make your Frame Rate 29.97 (Progressive)  for "both" and see how that looks for your interlaced footage.
