Activity Forums VEGAS Pro Field Order Question

  • Field Order Question

    Posted by Rob Weidenfeld on November 20, 2010 at 9:15 pm

    When rendering out a clip in Vegas (10), should the field order method match the source clip’s field order? I capped a clip using Fraps and AverMedia AverTV and the resulting clip is 1920×1080 29.97 interlaced (upper field first). When I render it to a DVD Architect NTSC Widescreen Video Stream MPEG-2 file, should I switch the field order to match the source clip, or leave it as default “lower field first”?

    Thank you!

    UPDATE: NO response as of yet, so I figured I should stay true to the source clip and render with upper field first. Tried twice now, and both times Vegas crashed about 35% of the way through. Could this crash possibly be the result of rendering as a DVD Architect NTSC Widescreen Video Stream with field order set to Upper Field First? Or do I possibly have some other more serious issue? Arggggghhh!

    [Rob Weidenfeld] “When rendering out a clip in Vegas (10), should the field order method match the source clip’s field order? “

    No. The field order should match the field order of the device format that you are rendering to.

    [Rob Weidenfeld] ” I capped a clip using Fraps and AverMedia AverTV and the resulting clip is 1920×1080 29.97 interlaced (upper field first).

    You should leave it lower field first because NTSC DVD’s are expecting lower field first.

    Will do that, then, John… thanks for your frequent help.
