Thanks for the advice on 3D - as suggested, it turned out that warping in PS
element by element did the trick

24P workflow: Another department is shooting XDCAM HD422 - when they
switch to 23.98 the
full raster (1920x1080) goes down to 1280x720. BUt the frame rate when it is
brought into FCP says 59.94. I've worked with XDCAM a lot but never at this
frame size and rate. (it seems the camera has to decrease spatial resolution
to be able to increase temporal resolution (so that it will be a common
multiple of 24 and 60 ?)

Should the editor be setting her output sequence to XDCAM HD422 720p60 or
720p24 ?
(I realize this is a question best for the FCP forum on CC, but we were
trying to
figure it out today and this thread popped up)

The 24p division has already been performed, so it shouldn't matter right ?
If anything she should do the 720p60 since this will accommodate other
frame rates as well
(they are getting footage from a variety of sources).

thanks

23.976 is amazing if you're dealing with progressive footage.  If most of
your footage is legitimately interlaced (ie different info on every field,
not just 23.976 with 3:2 pulldown), then you should stick with 29.97.  If
you can easily get back to progressive land, it's really, really great.
Note that you'll want to work at 23.976 and not 24 unless you're going to
film.
