effects change the fieldorder
Hello 🙂
i have a very strange effect in PP2. I selected a (very) large number of clips from several big avi files and placed them in the timeline. Then I wanted to add the timecode effect to give a tape to my client. But suddenly the field order was wrong. Typical shaky, flickery, wrong fieldorder. By testing I found that any effect will cause that problem. So for a workaround I wanted to change the fieldorder manualy again. But that doesnt change it. MAybe it then gets, lets sa, 2 times twisted, as the fieldorder is changes BEFORE the effects are calculated.
So to be sure I rendered it out with the WRONG fieldorder and the reversed the fields on the resulting clip. Everything is fine then. So it is indeed a wrong fieldorder.
BUT:
The stange thing is, when I import the big avis into a new project and add a effect it works again 🙁 So the AVIs are NOT in the wrong order.
Then I tried to import the whole project into a new one. Same problem.
The I made the clips offline and connected them again. Same problem.So for now I have a little workaround but I need a soultion at least before the final project gets color corrected, which then of course will cause the same problems.
Had anyone that problem ? What to do ?
Seems like there is the field order somwhere stored in the clips made from the big clips. But where ? I cannot find anything to change interpretation of fieldorder like in After Effects.Thanks for any idea or help!

I’m just curious, did you find this issue was still there after export to a DVD? And what codec is used in the original AVI?
You can change the field order by right clicking on each clip and choosing Field options > Reverse field dominance.

Hello 🙂
they are all Matrox DV-Cam codec.
It would have been there if a did a DVD with the wrong fielorder. I could have reversed it at encoding, but thats not really a solution.As I wrote the reverse fields did’t change anything.
Any ideas anyone ?
Thanks!

Matrox reverses, for some obscure reason, field order. Normally you have LFF, but when using Matrox it suddenly is UFF. Wierd, but that is how it works.

But that never happened before in the same workflow.
And as I wrote: If I try to reproduce the problem from the same clips – there is no problem. Only those.
So somehow the single clips which are only “virtual” clips from a big AVI hav reversed fields. NOT the source AVI.Anyone else ? 🙂
