Can i view my video in progressive while editing?

(I know all about interlacing and so forth)

My question is... Is there anyway to see the frames as progressive in the vegas monitor window without actually deinterlacing every clip?

The monitor gives such a poor image quality because you can see the fields! Avid express Pro doesnt seem to do this at all, nor does Premiere if i remember correctly.

Vegas is the only one that seems to do this.

The only way i can tell is to simply turn on Draft mode. Anything higher is full of fields.

Avid doesn't, because they only draw one field. Same with Premiere. It's a cheat way of doing things, because it's easy to cut on the wrong frame, depending on which frame is quantized to.
You can indeed put your properties to progressive, it's in your project properties setting. But you'll lose external monitor because it's interlaced at the converter at that point, and you could easily run into other problems.
I do wish Vegas offered the OPTION of showing one field on display, but would never want it for the default/standard.

Douglas, I'm curious. What would be the advantage of having/using one field display?

If you only view one field, there are no interlace artifacts. Well supposedly there aren't, but with Vegas you enver know ;-).
