Interlaced Support

To enable interlaced processing in vMix, set Master Frame Rate to one of the settings below.
This can be done from Settings -> Display

Master Frame Rate

50p, 59.94p, 60p, 50i, 59.94i, 60i

Interlaced sources will be separated into two separate frames for frame rates 50p and higher.

All other master frame rates are progressive and any Interlaced inputs will be deinterlaced automatically.

Inputs

Input	Interlaced Support	Notes
Camera	Yes	Select an Interlaced Frame Rate and tick the Interlaced check box
Video	MOV, MXF To enable additional file types for full interlaced processing, add them to the FFMPEG section of Settings -> Decoders	All other formats will be converted to progressive using Blend deinterlacing
List	Same as for Video above	Interlaced can be set for each video independently.
Image Sequence	Yes, one image per field	Each image in an image sequence is treated as a field when using an interlaced output. For example, 50 images are needed for 1 second of 50i video.
Video Delay	Yes, saved clips progressive	Saved clips are saved as Interlaced but will playback in vMix as Progressive only
