Better to finish in 108050i or 108025p?

HI!
I'm working on a documentary shot mostly on a a 1080 50i HDV camera. Until recently, I was working in a 1080 50i HDV sequence (that is to say, I clicked yes when I inserted the first media into the timeline and FC asked me if sequence settings should match footage). A couple months ago I switched to Pro Res, 1440 X 1080, 25 FPS. By 'switched' I mean I changed the compressor to apple pro res 422 and re-rendered. See attached screenshot for full settings.
We got into a festival recently and they accept both 108050i and 108025P HDCAM. My question is, is my sequence currently 50i (I assume so, since that what I shot in) or is it 25P (since the frame rate says 25)?
If it's 108050i -- is there an advantage to converting to 25P for the festival? If so, does anyone have any pointers on the best way to do it?
Tks!

Your sequence is (based on the screen shot) interlaced. Note the Field Dominance is set to Upper(Odd). If it is Upper (Odd) or Lower (Even) than it is interlaced. If you had a progressive sequence, it would say "None". Field Dominance give the instruction for which of the two fields to play first when displaying the frame. Since there are no fields in a progressive frame, there is no Field Dominance.
As to deinterlacing and delivering a progressive copy for your submission, since they accept the interlaced, why not deliver what you shot?
Someone else may have a different opinion, but I would go with interlaced.

    your project is still 50i.
    if you switch field dominance to 'without', it will be 25p.
    for your festival i recommend 50i because this is the format you have shot.
    if you want the 25p look, you want to use filters for best results in de-interlacing. forcing conversion thru simple switching in sequence settings is not the best way, you are risking artifacts.

  • Firefox 4 beta won't install on Lenovo Vista Ultimate Laptop.

    Desktop icon says 4.0 but 3.6 is what you get when you try to launch firefox. It appears that a restart was required for the beta to finish installing.

  • Cannot run the samples in Flex Builde beta 3

    The installation of Flex Builder finished OK. I did choose to
    install Flash 9.0 in both IE and FF, but for some reason when going
    to the examples it asks me to install Flesh 8.0. Even if I say yes
    to th eprompt it doesn't display.
    I have even re-installed the flas Active X manually and even
    regieterd it as per instructions on the Installation of Flex
    Builder 2.0 beta 3 page,, but still no luck...
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    P.S. I asked Chris Agruss (our build and installer guru)
    about some
    possible reasons why the Flash player installer might have
    failed to
    work for IE. I've attached his reply.
    Rebecca - Adobe
    Here are a few cases I know about where the ActiveX plugin
    for FP won�t
    be installed normally:
    � IE is running at the time, and especially if activeX
    has been run
    � Outlook, or some other program that runs the IE
    engine under the hood,
    is running
    � Older ActiveX version installed that needs some Dark
    Magic, or
    explicit uninstallation of some sort
    In the first two cases, where IE is in use, the plugin will
    normally be
    installed after a reboot, but until then it will look as if
    the
    installation didn�t work.

  • Opera mini beta for symbian

    just a quick heads up, Opera mini beta for Symbian has been released today , written in native Symbian and not Java based , worth giving it a try just go to the opera web site and download the symbian beta version
    If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :
    you can also help others by marking 'accept as solution' 

    I'm finding it Really good, Really fast and Very gentle on the phone memory, it really needs to be adopted as the default browser for Nokia (if they could get Flash to work on it) if this is a beta the finished product should be unbelievable 
    @Creepy, download and try it, it will 'cost' you 5 minutes to see for yourself

  • Getting extra scenes when burning from imovie to dvd using idvd.

    I edited a movie using imovie and got it n the sequence I want.  Then I burned it to dvd using idvd.  However, when I view the dvd, it starts midway through the video, goes to the end, then starts over and shows me the whole video. 
    The problem is, I don't see the extra part that shows in the beginnning on the dvd on imovie.  How do I get rid of that extra stuff if I can't see it on imovie?

    I have had the same problem. I spent an hour on the phone with Apple Support and they were absolutely no help at all. They told me to buy Final Cut Pro. The only thing I found that helped was to export the movie using Quick Time as HD as possible (which takes a long time) and then use that in iDVD, so that the version I have for viewing on a TV or whatever doesn't look cheap and lo-res. My old iMac and iMovie 4 was slow, but the quality was much better on finished DVD products of movies or slideshows. It *****.

  • Artifacts In DVD

    I have a I DVD (I DVD 6) project that i have burned to 2 different DVD's ( One Printable & 1 Non Printable- Both Verbatim DVD-R) and i keep getting Artifacts in the 5 same spots. I have checked the Original Mini DV tape and the I Movie project and the 5 areas in both are artifact free. I am working on a I Mac G5, have 30 GB of free space when burning and making a disk image and burning the disk with the Disk Utility tool. When i say Artifact i mean the picture will break up into little square boxes.
    Anybody have any ideas ????
    Thanks Steve

    Well, at 1hr 45min you are getting close to the maximum compression that iDVD does. More compression=more artifacts.
    i am doing a slow zoom out of the Bride & Groom (Very little motion) and get Artifacts
    Keep in mind that the mpg-2 compression used works on the frame-to-frame differences - and the more the difference from frame-to-frame - the more artifacts are generated.
    The othe cases it is lower light conditions (50 Watt light on the camera) and lots of party lights (Strobes and blue lights) and people dancing and waving
    Low light usually means more electronic noise - which causes major frame-to-frame differences. Dancing and waving means lots of frame-to-frame differences as well.
    I suggest you cut the content into 2 pieces, with neither piece being over the 60 minute limit of 'Best Performance'. 'Best Performance' will produce a DVD with the least compression you can get with iDVD.
    i was wondering if something in the Mac was stating to go ??
    I doubt it! Just remember, the better the original content quality, the better the finished DVD will be.

  • F-58 Automatic association of check number

    Good Afternoon,
    When I´m trying to post a check payment using the Tcode F-58 but the check number isn't  linked automatically with the payment document. I'm filling the "Payment method and form specifications" with the Company Code, Payment method, House Bank and Check lot number.
    How can I configure the system to associate automatically the check information with the payment?
    Thank you,
    Susana Cunha.

    Hello Susana
    As per SAP Help on line documentation, You should follow the above
    reported suggestion.
    Checks issued manually need to be dealt with separately in order to
    create a link between the check number and the payment document. In
    order to keep the use and management of manually created checks separate
    from those created automatically, a separate number range should be
    reserved for them.
    Anyway if You don-t want to follow this suggestion, for the future
    probably It is better to finish all the manual steps before running the
    automatic payment procedure.
    For more information please go to SAP Portal www.help.sap.com
          Entering Manually-Created Checks in Check Management
          Renumbering Checks
          Reassigning Checks to Payments
    You can maintain the check information manually using FCH5 for the
    missing check number and the payment document.
    Hope this helps,
    Ray

  • Utilities Consumption Reports

    Dear Experts,
    Is there any provision to gather reports for UTILITIES consumption (either daily wise or monthly) like water consumption , Air consumption, Energy consumption etc.
    How to map the above requirement in SAP ??
    Any standard report is possible or customization is required??
    If so, then what could be the possible steps to do so??
    Regards,

    Create measurement points at required locations example outlet of raw water pump flow meter for water consumption thro IK01. You may create any place.
    Keep on creating the measurements documents each and every day / shifts thro ik11 against that points.
    Then collectively you will get the consumptions IK07 . U may go for abap reports to make the costing . Example 1 Kl= Rs 5
    I dont know about the UTILITY SAP Pacakage this may helps better to finish for your requirements.

  • Need to move to next line, if word is 1 or 2 letters

    Hello All,
    I'd like to move the words with 1 or 2 letters from end of the line to next line as per our internal requirements, could anyone suggest whether this can be achieved using GREP option or any other advise?
    Thanks,
    Praveen

    Peter,
    About the punctuation, what I mean is that, eg, it's better to finish a sentence at the end of the line rather than at the beginning of the next line.
    I've modified the grep style:
    \<.{0,2}[^:.,?!~j]\s.{0,2}
    I've excluded the NJ that I'm using if I want to sometimes "relax the rule".
    In the first case, the sentence will be cut after "as et" or after "ent a sum fuga."
    In the second case, after "as et", after "ent" or after "a sum". If I insert a NJ after "ent".
    Always be improved! 

  • Applescript for address book

    Is there a way to click on a contact name, have apple script capture first name, last name, address, then print these in a document? I know I can use mail merge in Pages, but can't in other text editors

    OK, sorry. So I dictate medical reports in Macspeech Dictate. I do a bunch at a time. I have to dictate a report to Dr. Jones, so I want to insert using address book:
    Joe Jones, M.D.
    1234 1st St.
    Kansas City, KS 66111
    then I dictate the letter to Dr. Jones, then I dictate the next letter to Dr. Smith, etc.
    at the end of the day's dictation I have a single document that has ~20 medical reports. I have a macro that I've used for 8 yrs in MS Word to split the letters up, save them in individual files, print them properly formatted on letterhead. I recently have switched to Pages & have developed an applescript to do the same thing. I could dictate, save, print letters one at a time, then I could use the script the way you originally wrote it, but my workflow is more efficient to do it all at once. I guess I'm stuck in my ways, but, again, I think it works better to finish the dictation for the whole day and let my macro save, format, and print all the reports at once. So that's why I want to put the addresses in an already made document.
    So here's the code I'm using:
    (I added in 2 lines of code to save the selected addresses in a group "envelope" so I can drag & drop them into a Pages mail-merge document to print out the envelopes for the day's dictation)
    tell application "Address Book"
    --the next 2 lines are to store selected addresses in group envelope that I can drag and drop into a pages merge document to print out all the envelopes for the day's dictation
    add the selection to the group "envelope"
    save addressbook
    set theContacts to the selection
    repeat with thisPerson in theContacts
    set theName to name of thisPerson
    set theStreet to street of first address of thisPerson
    set theCity to city of first address of thisPerson
    set theState to state of first address of thisPerson
    set theZip to zip of first address of thisPerson
    end repeat
    end tell
    set CSZ to theCity & ", " & theState & " " & theZip
    activate application "Macspeech Dictate Medical"
    tell application "System Events"
    keystroke theName
    key code 36
    keystroke theStreet
    key code 36
    keystroke CSZ
    end tell
    I ran this code on my macbook pro running 10.5.8 and my imac running 10.5.8. I made a brand new entry in the address book using a multiline street address and it doesn't put the line breaks. Otherwise, this macro works great. Weird, huh!
    Thanks for your help & patience.

  • Am I able to get iMessage on Mac OS X Lion?

    Hi
    umm i heard that there was the "messages" app on Mountain Lion and was wondering how to get it on OSX Lion. So I was searching the internet and found that you could get the beta version but clicked on the link and got redirected to the Apple Mac website. I was pretty dissapointed that i couldnt but i thought you could sort of... combine iChat and iMessage together if I could but nope...
    please tell me.

    Hello,
    No - you cannot download it from Apple anyore because the beta has finished.
    You can still install it if you find the Message Beta installer somewhere online but after a quick search, I couldn't find anything.

  • CS3 versus Premiere Pro 2.0

    I am thinking of upgrading to CS3 from 2.0
    Does CS3 use significantly more processor power and/or memory?
    Any gotchas?
    Will my Pro 2.0 project files open up fine in CS3?

    The general rule for any software upgrade is always the same: ignore the manufacturer's (or reviewer's) claim that the upgrade is a must and study the new features if any. Of course many upgrades may have some new convenience features which may be important for some users (on a deadline for example). In your case, getting Encore may be worth it.
    In the case of Premiere PRO CS3, the main effort by Adobe was to port it to MAC. They made changes to the Premiere PRO engine introducing new bugs and removing some features (short-cuts, etc..) as well as making some 3rd party plug-ins inoperable.
    It is always hazardous to carry a project to a new version. While possible it is never perfect and almost always requires hours of work to remedy. It is always better to finish a project in the version where started.

  • How to restrict RESCHEDULING after MRP run ?

    Dear All,
    We r using prodn. strategy 30. We don't take MRP run for finished material. First we create production orders for finished material & then we take MRP run to create planned orders for semifinished material.
    After MRP run , production orders of semifinished material of previous month gets rescheduled . How to avoid this ?
    We created production orders of NOV2007.
    When we take MRP run today i.e. SEPT2007  to create planned/prodn orders of OCT2007 m/c shop plan. It shows wrong results. It is not giving right requirement for blanks .
    PL' answer.

    Hi,
    In OPPQ/OPPR increase the tolerance value to a high value.
    The system compares this value with the ( order finish date - reqmts date) and if it is greater the system do reschedules.
    Ex tolerance value -
    2
          diff bet ( order finish date - reqmts date )  -
    5
         the system reschedules.
        so increase the tolerance value to 5 and see the results. The system does not
        reschedules.
    OR in OPPQ disable the indicator for production order
