changing field dominance for file [tiff] import

[David Roth weiss]

Tiffs do not fields, so changing the field dominance setting will have no effect.

In the browser they are coming up as none in field dominance column. I am seeing what looks like field mismatch on my bcast monitor when I play the seq down. I did find that if i control click on none it allows me to change from none to lower. In avid world field dominance matters w. tiffs….

Have you checked “full” in the render dropdown, and have you rendered?

Are you sure your tiff isn’t a freeze frame of video where there was motion? If so, it’s not going to matter what the field dominance is, you’re just going to get back and forth vibration no matter what. Doesn’t matter if you play field 1 first or second when you’re playing field 1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2 over and over again. If there’s movement then there’s just normal movement between the fields. The answer is flicker filter or deinterlace.

Select the footage in the bin and press I to get info on the TIFF sequence. In the column where it indicates field dominance, there is a little, hidden pop-up menu there. You should be able to force it to upper or lower, similar to the footage settings in After Effects.

TIFF sequences can have fields just like anything else.

[Scott Thomas] “TIFF sequences can have fields just like anything else.”

You may well be correct Scott, but the original post says nothing about “sequential” tiff files.

He was more specific in his second post.
