Field Order for Sony Vegas 9e
Hi,
I am confused about upper/lower and progressive field order. There are 3 settings.
1- the main project setting which I can select the field order.
2- Then there is the field order of each video clip which I can change when I right click the clip and go to properties.
3- Then when I render the file to MPEG2 for DVD I can also select the field order.Does anyone know if the above three settings all need to be the same field order? and what is the best setting for DVD PAL and DVD NTSC and internet video for youtube. I edit in PAL but then I convert for DVD NTSC.
Thanks

I don’t know much about this except that I read in the documentation that the 3/ takes priority over 1/ if different.
Hope this helps,

No they do not and usually are not the same. The project and render field order can be anything you want but the EVENT field order had better represent the true field order that the media contains or else strange things will happen and Vegas will not not how to convert between the three.
and what is the best setting for DVD PAL and DVD NTSC and internet video for youtube. I edit in PAL but then I convert for DVD NTSC.
If you edit in PAL then set your project to PAL DV. If you render to NTSC and then set your render to NTCS DV. If your event field order is correct, Vegas will convert between the two. Always make sure that your Deinterlace method is set to Blend or Interpolate.
When you render for YouTube you must render in a square pixel format. NTSC DV has a pixel aspect ratio (PAR) of 0.9091 which means you must multiply your horizontal resolution of 720 by 0.9091 and render at 655×480 PAR 1.0.
