    Posted by Chris Brett on October 18, 2012 at 2:31 pm

    Hi — have a problem with a comp as follows —

    — gfx elements are all fine but live action elements judder ….

    — rendered out as a targa sequence in PAL with upper field first.

    This comp looks fine on my PC monitor but clearly not on the Avid playback —

    — any thoughtS on things to check please ?

    Many thanks Dave —

    ———- thats what I reckon also — got fooled at first though though because I imported targa files which were sent from Premiere.

    I do have a follow up query which would appreciate your thoughts on also if you have time please……..

    ……….. Assuming the targa files were dumped off with lower field first do you reckon it is just a question of setting ‘interpret footage’ to lower first and rendering out with upper first as usual please ?

    — there are 4 combinations here and would like to get it right first attempt if possible !

    All the best

    Hi Dave

    — thought I’d mail the outcome ….

    …. although the original footage was from a DV tape the answer to the problem was that I didnt specify a field order at all on import.

    I am surprised this had such an adverse effect and one clip that had been pre-rendered ( to extend the length ) seemed to have this problem ‘fixed’ into it in such a way that it could not be changed — the answer for to that was to was to re-import from original source and delete the pre-rendered clip.

    I guess its just one of those things — you learn the hard-way and next time you just fix it without even thinking…

    All the best

    Chris
