lower vs none field dominance
i’ve been reading a lot about people changing the field dominance from lower to none in order to correct the aliasing of text in fcp.
i too have found this solution to work well as now my text is smooth and perfect. however, i’m wondering what affect (if any) setting the field dominance to “none” has on the rest of the project since DV requires lower??
will this cause problems when encoding to mpeg2 in compressor?
and what about the field dominance setting in compressor? i’ve read about people setting that to lower for DV (instead of auto) but how does that affect a project that’s been created using a sequence set to none?
i’d like to be sure that fixing one problem is not creating a host of others.
many thanks for your thoughts,

hi,
yes i’m using a monitor, it’s just a TV right now but a monitor nonetheless.
text and imported pictures often look like crap even though i’ve set my sequence render settings to render everything in full resolution (instead of just RT). applying blur and flicker filters helps my pics but the text is hit and miss. i know all about having even numbered position point settings and applying a slight gaussian blur but i definitely get aliased text and funky graphics (especially with motion) when the field dominance is set to lower and it clears up when i set it to none. i’m just wondering if setting it to none could affect the video in the sequence.
( and what’s the deal with the boris text? i don’t find it any better at all, in fact, i find it somewhat worse! is there something i need to know about using the boris CG? )
but i digress…

yes, playing back on my monitor.
but it’s not consistent. that’s what boggles me. my video is always the same DV format, but the way it behaves changes from project to project. sometimes my graphics and text are really horrible and changing the dominance works and sometimes it’s not so bad.
another problem i have is with slow motion and i’ve been trying to nest my clips and slow mo from there (as suggested in a previous post) but again. that’s worked with some clips and not others.
i can’t troubleshoot inconsistancy!
now i’ve switched back to lower dominance for improved slow mo and right now it’s working for my text so i’m going with it.
i was just wondering how no field dominance would affect my video and so far i’ve deduced that it will NOT work with slow motion.
i really just don’t think there’s any logic to my machine!
