Appropriate Field Order for Progressive videos in interlaced projects ?

[Rosie Walunas]

So if I get something that’s 1920×1080 or 1280×720 and it’s Progressive, the Field order would still be marked as Ordered for current when importing to my 1080i project?

Just trying to get this down. What I don’t want is to “be too late” with the field order.

Thanks.

Yes it would make sense to do that, because that setting assumes the file that you are importing is correctly field ordered. Of course in progressive the fields are exactly the same so its kinda hard to go wrong.
The other options – upper (odd) and lower (even) would apply when you need to put something odd field into an even format or even field into an odd format respectively. I guess its like manually setting the shift field in FCP if you like.

Hope that makes sense. Too many odd even ups and downs for me 🙂

best wishes

Yes, all makes sense. Just trying to get this right to ensure quality control. Lol, ironically more straightforward Importing into a Progressive project!
