Change Field settings

[Mylenium]

First things first: Do you get the problem when viewing the file on a broadcast monitor or are you just viewing on a computer? In the latter case actually seeing the comb structure would be right. Inside AE you can make it go away by properly setting the footage interpretation in the project window (File –> Interpret Footage). AE will then only show one filed per frame.

The monitor view:
I had to burn to a dvd since I don’t have a broadcast monitor yet (I’ve gotten the lecture many times). The glowing wires and the lower text look good, but the logo itself looks more “combed” than the rest, especially viewing it in slow motion. It seems there is a very slight comb in the curves of the logo when played at regular speed, but it’s almost unnoticeable. That doesn’t make sense to me since it’s all the same once rendered from AE.

I checked my field render setting in AE and it’s off. I assume this is default since I’ve never touch it. The logo did not go through LiveType, but directly from Illustrator to AE.

I’ve noticed that my AE comp setting preset is NTSC. I looked for a setting to make this progressive rather than interlaced, but I couldn’t find anything. The full res quicktime file I get from AE to bring into FCP looks clean on my computer monitor. I’m really confused.

Any other thoughts are greatly appreciated,
Eric

Dave,

Rendering with no fields = no interlaced…got it.

Thanks for the help. I’m going to start from the beginning and see if I can find the breakdown of this thing.
