HDV Field Dominance?
I have been capturing some HDV footage from a Canon HV20. It was shot in the 24p mode but I am just going to use it as is with the pull down.
I have captured with the “easy set up” HDV codec 1080i60 and am editing in a 1080i60 timeline.
With everything in preset, you can see the interlacing. It really looks bad! When I go into the sequence settings (HDV easy set up) the field dominance is set to “none”.
If I change this to “upper” or “lower” it fixes the interlacing problem and looks good.
The problem now is that every shot comes into the timeline “green” un-rendered.
What’s up? Is there any way to do this without all the rendering or bad interlacing?
Thank you for any help

For the record, all interlaced HD video is upper field first. If you’re monitoring on a computer monitor you will see the interlacing. And, if you shoot progressive, but edit interlaced, that changes the frame rate and you will have to render.
