    Field dominance when text and graphic for pal! -to digibeta.

    Posted by Max Christensen on August 17, 2009 at 1:34 pm

    I feel kinda stupid asking this question now. Especially after working with this for over a year. But..

    I’ve been looking trough the net, for the best field-dominance when doing PAL digibeta sequences. In the final cut pro setup.

    Upper or lower? when starting a sequence?

    I include graphics sometime, and text etc.

    Thnak you my all knowing Jedi’s.

    In PAL – always use upper field first. The only time this is otherwise is if you are working in DV, but as you are going to digibeta…then definitely upper (or odd).
