Progressive scan!

I've a Panasonic AG-HVX200.
For importing deinterlaced clips (25p) in a sequence, in the sequence I set Field dominance None.
But when I put clips in the timeline, a warning says me that the sequence has a difference format from clips.
In fact, clips have fied dominance Lower (even).
What do I do for working and exporting correctly progressive clips?
I must change the field dominance also in the item properties of clips?
Thanks!

Your media is in DVCPRO HD. This format will not work properly in FCE. Unless you shot DV with the camera? Is that what you did?

No, I work in DV.
DV PAL 720x576 25p.
But clip have Field Dominance Lower (even).
It's strange... no?

No, DV PAL is normally lower field first. That's the format specification. To achieve progressive images the camera merely field doubles to produce identical fields, reducing the temporal resolution inherent in interlacing. Make sure you switch off field dominance in the sequence item properties so you don't introduce fields in rendered material.

Ok.
Clips with Field Dominance Lower (even) and Sequence with Field Dominance None.
Ok.
But when naturally appears the warning that says: "For best performance your sequence and External Video should be set to the format of the clips you are editing. Change sequence settings to match sequence settings?", I click Yes or No?
Thanks very much!

Aside from the field dominance are the sequence item properties and the clip item properties identical in every respect? If possible take screen shots of both and post them on the web.

If they are identical in every respect then clicl no to keep the sequence field order at none.

Only a difference: the audio format (16 bit vs. 32 bit integer)...

That's internal processing. You don't have to worry about that.
