Field Dominance for slow motion video and graphics
I am creating a DVD showreel which consists of text, graphics and video. Originally, I had the field dominance set to Lower, but after exporting I saw that the text and graphics were looking interlaced, so I set the field dominance to none. However, the problem I have now is that some of the footage is in slow mo and because it was shot at 25 frames a second, rather than the fields blending, it now looks really stuttery (if thats a word) because the frames have been isolated. What is the standard practise for this, because I know that for videos to be played on the web the field dominance needs to be set to none but what can I do for slow motion video?

Hi Phill,
Sorry I ask you again: Are you working with FC 5.1.x or so?
In FC 6 still being a bug related with interlacing.
The Speed Change (with Frame blending) is broken on the filters that have the Shift-fields on.
But if you are working in DVcam in aDVCam sequence you shouldn’t have this filter applied nowhere.

I’m currently running FCP version 6.0.5
I understand that by removing field dominance, and then deinterlacing my footage I’m removing half the video information, which is why its stuttering, because I’m slowing down 25 frames a second, which shouldn’t really be slowed down, because its not true slow mo…or at least that’s what I think is happening. So is there no way I can integrate motion graphics with my DV Cam footage for an exported video for web?

Something very important is to stop rendering in DV.
if you are making video for a web, you must de-interlace all your DVCam footage and work in a Progressive sequence.
For the DVD you can keep it Progressive, although I’ve ended up by making the DVDs also Progressive. Most of my job will be watch in computers.
The De-interlacer that you use can make a big difference in the final product.
