Why does VP9e deinterlace when I capture a frame?

More to the point, how do I make it stop...

I'm capturing stills from DV footage and just realized that Vegas is deinterlacing the frames. Definitely not what I want.

I think this is new to VP9. I'm also noticing that is I have the preview window set to "Preview" Vegas switches to "Good" to capture the frame. Fine...but I don't want it to deinterlace.

Anyone know how to control this?

Ah. And capture snapshot to clipboard now applies a PAR correction. It didn't do any of this in previous versions.

Grrr. I really don't like this dumbing-down of snapshots.

Change Project to Field Order None and De-Interlace Method to None let me copy to clipboard with both fields intact.
You're right, that's a lot to change to get what we used to get.

Or reinstall VP8, which I just did.

Thanks Bob. This seems like a problem to me since you wouldn't want to edit SD with field order set to None. So essentially you have to switch project settings back and forth to save stills and also edit.

As far as I can guess, this automatic deinterlacing is there to quell support calls from people who don't understand why their interlaced footage looks interlaced on progressive monitors.

I don't mind SCS dumbing things down as long as they leave you a way to turn off the child-proofing. Just a few settings in the internal prefs would be enough.

(BTW, I filed a support request.)
