FCP forces animations to upper field dom
Rendered lower thirds as animations field dominance off.
when i import them into FCP, it makes them upper field.
if i play it in my viewer, it looks fine. when i drop it on the sequence, the text is aliased.
i’m working in a standard HD sequence with no field dom.Jim Eckes

Hi Jim,
So from now on you know that you can not trust FC when interpreting the imported files.
Is not a shortcoming of FC. The files have nothing to help FC really to identify the field order, so FC just guess Upper-first.
Always when importing something to FC have a look in the Browser.

Thanks, Rafael.
My question is this. If I need the animation to be field dom off, how do I change that? The graphic seems to be locked into a upper field setting. The rest of the footage from the project is fd off. The only workaround is to change the sequence to fd upper to match the graphic.
I’m not sure what it is going to do to the rest of the footage in the sequence.Jim

Hi Jim,
Just check the animation as NONE in he Browser and drag it again to the time-line.

That’s it!!!!! Thanks, Rafael. I was trying to open the “item properties” menu and trying to fix there. It wouldn’t let me.
Never thought to slide my browser over to the “field” column.Thanks again. You’ve done your good deed for the day.
Have a good one.
