  • Field dominance problems with files from Blackmagic

    Posted by Ornulf Riisnes on August 6, 2012 at 12:23 pm

    I record video (PAL) with Blackmagic media express 3.3.2. When playing the .avi-files in Final Cut i get a field dominance problem. The shift fields filter does not solve this. Anybody with experience on how to solve this?

    -O.

    I too am having this problem. The solution although not a good one is to use compressor. Here a droplet.

    Ok, someone delete all those posts with the link and please give me clear directions how to upload a file. (Or if an Admin can just fix it, that would be great.)

    In the meantime, here are the text instructions to create the same droplet in Compressor:

    Frame Control ON:
    Resize: Fast
    Output Fields: Top
    De-interlace – Fast
    no adaptive details
    Anti alias – 0
    Details level – 0
    Rate Conversion Fast
    Set Duration – 100% of Source

    Then in the Video Settings
    Frame Rate: Current
    Gamma Correction None (although no matter what I get the gamma shift)
    Interlaced: Top Field
    Enable Chroma filtering for 4:4:4 off.
