So this happens all the time in my videos due to having 1080i video footage. When I try exporting it into 720, it gets rid of them but everything looks ghost-trailed and it really ruins the video. Is there anyway I can fix this? And no, selecting "de-interlace" does not work.
Final Cut Pro 7, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
Right click the Sequence icon in the Browser and select Item Properties.
Post a screen shot or relay all the info.
Do the same for a clip in the Browser.

here you go
What are the clip properties?
Are you working with HDV or a small version of AVCHD clips?
Al
I'm using a Canon Vixia HFR20 that uses AVCHD
There is something screwy here.
Can you right click another CLIP in the Browser and then select Item Properties?

You should see a clip name at the header not Sequnce 1.

Sorry about that. I read "browser" but my mind registered "timeline." Here you are
Everything as regards frame size, frame rate looks ok.
There are two types of 1440 x 1080i60 Easy Setups.
One for AVCHD and the other is for HDV.
Can you double check your current Easy Setup is for AVCHD?

I currently have this as my settings
and here are my options, should I be selecting something else?
I feel that I alsoshould mention that these interlace lines do not appear in the viewer or canvas. The "ghost trail" looking ones do appearin the Log and Capture viewer, but ones imported, it looks fine. It's when I export that everything goes ugly.
Here's what I mean by "ghost trails" as well
Use the AVCHD Easy Setup and start a Project or Sequence.
Import a clip of the same size to the Browser and edit to the Timeline.
Export as QuickTime Movie.
The above is to test the settings.
It looks like you do have AVCHD clips in an HDV Timeline currently.

Here's the settings I used in Easy Setup
Here's an image of the clip I used while in Final Cut before export
And here's the same clip after exported as a QuickTime movie
Still has the lines :/
Everything is done correctly and I belive it"s the way computers display interlaced footage.
FCE is designed to work with interlaced and it looks reasonable there, outside of FCE in the Quicktime player it shows the interlacing.
De-Interlacing is the answer for computer display and delivery.
Leaving it as is for interlaced TV or DVD delivery.
1440 x 1080i in my experience shows this effect at it's worst. It has to juggle rectangular pixels to square to get it displaying correctly. Make a DVD for example and played back on a TV it usually looks fine.
Your camera shoots 1920 x 1080i and I'd suggest you do some test shooting and editing at that size.

I just hate that it ruins all my videos for youtube. So is there basically no fix for this then?
