Go ahead and post the screenshots.  What Clip Attributes are default for your clips?  What Clip Attributes have you attempted to override?

Hi. I thought that's what the screenshots are of. Is there a different section. If so how do I get to them ?

In the Media View window, not the Edit Window, select a clip, right-click the clip, and choose "Clip Attributes" from the dialog box that appears.

I still don't see a "Progressive" option in the clip attributes in the media window, am I missing something really simple

Is that option - "Field Dominance" context sensitive i.e. do the same choices appear with a known progressive clip?

<p>So, Im starting a project in Davinci Resolve 12 (DR12) but I am used to using FCPX and they way I can change the Field Dominance for the clips as I use a Canon C100 which records in 25p (50i) AVCHD, but playing back it is not in progressive format. In FCPX I can just select all the clips and change the field dominance in the inspector, now I cannot find out how to do this in DR12 or am I just being over ambitious?</p>

<p>Can anyone help or advise.</p>

<p>DR12 Clip Properties - no option to change the clip to PROGRESSIVE like in FCPX</p>

In the Media View window, select all the clips you want to change. Right click one of the selected clips and choose "Clip Attributes". In the Video portion of the Clip Attributes, tell Resolve what you want it to do.
