I know many stations are still broadcasting in 1080i, but are people still shooting interlaced?
99.9% of what I shoot these days goes straight to the web, so I'm always shooting progressive, a lot of 24p (23.98), but often 30p (29.97) & some 60p (59.98). I feel when I have put my progressive content into an interlaced stream it has always looked great. But shooting interlaced & going to the web, looks horrible unless you de-interlace (which loses some image detail). So I've been of the opinion that I'll always shoot progressive so things look good for web / digital, and if I need to transcode to interlaced I can do so. Though I've had a discussion lately where I've heard that if I want my footage to be broadcast is HAS to be shot interlaced. If I shoot progressive & convert to interlaced the footage will be rejected. Anyone else have some experience with this?

I bet out of all of the HD shoots I've done in the last decade, maybe 1% were interlaced shoots.

Station shoots everything interlaced. Everything I shoot through my business is progressive. I will say that when I've used some of my stock footage in a story for the station, the conversion in AVID does not come out looking very good on the air.

Thanks for the replies.

Have you tried converting to interlaced w/ other software (Apple / Adobe) before going into AVID?

The other problem could be something again client specific involving avid as some of the older versions as I remember didn't like to mix interlaced and progressive on the same timeline. Though I still lean in the direction of run and guns answer. |

I shoot almost everything, for network news and corporate, 30P.
But when it comes time to do the live shots for New York I have to switch the camera over to 60i...otherwise it somehow doesn't work for them. Does not matter if it's a live shot via sat truck or LiveU...they go batty if I'm not on 60i. |

* Playout servers * Routers * Production Switcher * Master Control Switcher * Closed Caption Encoders * Any processors (video or audio) THEN you get to the encoders. ALL the equipment would need to accept progressive. |

I still have a few clients that will only accept interlaced.

Any station that is 720 should be able to do progressive with their OTA encoders since the 720 ATSC spec is progressive.

(Unless it is somehow paying attention to both fields & seeing that there are no jagged lines between upper & lower fields. But I'd think most interlaced equipment isn't drilling down that deep in analyzing & just wants to see "Field 1. Field 2. Field 1. etc." & if it sees that, then everything is alright.)

Honestly, its local news and we really don't have time to convert footage before putting it in AVID. You just figure out how to make it work and go with it. Here that means shooting interlaced.

IMO that is where I'd default to if I was required to work with an interlace system because I'd have video files that play nice with the system, but will also look nice on web / mobile devices w/o having to de-interlace the footage (and throw away half the image).

Still shooting 1080/59.94i here. Have for years.
Edit in 720p projects in Edius, station broadcasts 720p. Have occasionally used 720p and 1080i video from our P2 cameras in the same projects. Can't tell any difference in editing or on-air. |

Why shoot 1080i if you edit and air 720p?
