Is anyone actually working with interlaced 1080 material? We get a lot of
1080 stuff but it's almost always 23.976 progressive. We just let the
"interlacing" happen on the output. But I never see the fields on our
stuff, I think it's just a flag in the file so it doesn't get rejected by
the stations. I haven't seen any true interlaced source footage unless it
came from Digi-Beta or SP.


I deal with 1080 interlaced footage all the time, but that's because I work on a "live" TV Show and that's the format we tape in
- tho we regularly show lower rez material (720, SD,.  youtube).

As per the original question,  I'd lean towards keeping things at 1080 and delivering 720 when asked.
It really does come down to what the clients want, but if you start off at the highest resolution you'll have your bases covered.
