[Kdenlive-devel] Rendering interlaced video to HuffYUV

I understand.  Thanks for looking so deeply into this!  At least you verified that it's not an mlt/kdenlive bug.
I'll let you know if I can get any better results out of ffmpeg.

One thing I noticed in kdenlive is the "Advanced" tab in the "Properties" window of the imported clips.  It says I can override various properties, and I tried to turn off the "progressive" flag on my imported HuffYUV clips, but it didn't seem to take.  However, if I hand-edit the .kdenlive file, and change >>progressive="1"<< to >>progressive="0" top_field_first="0"<<, then reload it in kdenlive, the Properties window now says that the clip is interlaced.  Is this a valid workaround?  And should the Properties window have let me do this without hand-editing the file?

Thanks for your help with this.  I hope to edit a lot of video with kdenlive.
