Thanks Bouke! I'll check that out when I'm back too work. Been out since Jan 3 from a heart attack and a few complications.
Most of my video problems arise from news pkg on sat feeds. So I can't adjust everything. I would add edit then just fix that shot or clips.

Re: [Avid-L2] Is DNxHR only Progressive?
First, I agree (heartily) that there should be an Invert Alpha ability in Source Settings.
With that said, another way to deal with improperly imported Alpha is to cut it into the sequence and drop a 3D Warp on it — IIRC, there's an Invert Key checkbox in there — I think it's in the Foreground parameter group (I'm not at my system at the moment). However, my inclination would be to re-import if this happened. In general, clips with alpha tend to be short(er) and come in relatively quickly.
Have a great weekend all you Avid-Lers!

I dig the "would be nice" part, but: Avid is divA, nonetheless.

btw: as much we are using DaVinci Resolve (DVR) in-house during the whole postproduction process we alway rely on Avid for the final master output. Well, recurring to another thread inhere: with the "old" 32-bit titling tool is was the most adequate tool to finish when the edit and subsequent titling process took place in Avid already.
Maybe it's a missed bent in the learning curve but audio channel routing seems to be straight forward in Avid whereas DVR and the third app get's really quirky here.

Re: [Avid-L2] Is DNxHR only Progressive?
There is a fairly recent (I think) effect in the Image category of the Effect palette to swap field order (I recall FCP7 had this years ago). Worth a try?

Re: [Avid-L2] Is DNxHR only Progressive?
Here are my thoughts and experiences.
DNx HR does NOT support Progressive. And while it might seem to benignly deal with it by flagging interlace material as progressive, I have seen it mess with interlace material in odd ways. Almost like doing a slight blend between the fields. Not good.
Avid has had an effect to deal with fields not in the order you need for awhile now. It is called Field Swap found in the Image filters. It is applied to a clip in a sequence.
All this said, I have turned to Resolve Studio for material such as this for the following reasons.
1. I can go into clip attributes and change the field order on a media file if needed.
2. I can use the DaVinci Neural Deinterlacer to deinterlace the material to make it progressive. While the name is a bit cheesey, I like the result. I tend to take interlace material into a sequence matching its frame rate and raster dimensions, apply the deinterlacer and render out a new file.
3. If I want to commit to an upconvert at this point, I will use the basic transform tool in Resolve, BUT I take advantage of the large selection of filters to optimize the processing. And I do this after the deinterlace process. While there is a "AI" based uprezing tool, I have not found it to be better in my experience.
Now, take into consideration that most of what I do is finish low budget indie docs where the stock footage is generally pretty low quality. I am doing the best I can with the budget allowed.

Re: [Avid-L2] Is DNxHR only Progressive?
IIRC, setting the import setting only works on transcoding on import, not on 'fast import' or AMA.
(So it will save you a trip to AE, but don't do this if not needed…)

Re: [Avid-L2] Is DNxHR only Progressive?
I've found that the one offending clip is in fact bottom field first or lower field first and all the others are upper/odd field first. Pick you favorite version of the nomenclature depending on the app you are working with. Taking the clip into After Effects which interpreted the clip as bottom/even field first and setting the output render to interlace top field first did the trick to get a proper temporal order to the fields. So now my curiosity is what happens under the hood given field one should start on a full line and field 2 should start on a half line how does the first line actually get processed now? I guess it just now reads the first full line at the top first and then the half line second so temporally things are straightened out. That's what I'm seeing in the overall motion but when I think of the old crt scan lines I start to think you don't have a full line of info at the top of field two so how is it going to work. I know I'm overthinking things after a long day.

Re: [Avid-L2] Is DNxHR only Progressive?
The old trick with a matte should still work, but AE can also be used.
In AE, go to 'interpret footage', set it to Even, place in comp and render that out interlaced as Odd.
Should do the trick. (And yes, FFmpeg can do it too :-)
From memory, in Edius you can just right click a clip and change the field order, and it will play in RT.

Toy around.
Be warned, I have no clue (it's 1 am here) how TOD / free run in 23.976 will behave.
(It will probably be bad, as there is no DF in 23.976, so be warned.)
But toy, try to grasp the concept.
I'm working on it these days for a real life show shooting 24/7.

A long long time ago in a galaxy far far away - I remember someone demoing an app that allows you to take fast and easy notes based on some quick shortcuts on an iPad (or iPhone).
Ideally the app would be running time of day timecode, and then all the PA has to do is tap a preset for "Good take", "Bad take", "False take", "Boom in shot" etc...
My "Google-Fu" has not been kind to me today and has turned up very few good relevant results.
Lots of slates - but I need something simpler and easy to use.
