Re: Interlacing?
Hello,
Forgive me but I’m quite new to FCP. As FCP doesn’t require a particular field setting unlike Media 100 which treats Pal footage as upper field first, are there any benefits of rendering comps from AFX as frames and playing out to tape from a frame setting FCP timeline? Would this give you a filmic look or am I on the wrong track? My company uses the Cinewave card (no sympathy please) but I haven’t been able to gat my hands on it yet.
Thanks in advance.

FCP doesn’t work like M100 at all. What you’re describing sounds like a cheesy hack film look in M100. You don’t need cheesy hacks in FCP – check out my Film Effects for instance at http://www.nattress.com which does full 24p simulation etc.

Otis,
Graeme’s filters rock, but for the record, depending on what kind of motion is in your piece, rendering with no fields can give you a different look in FCP, but you need to try it and see what you get.

Rendering with no fields doesn’t change the underlying media though – it just changes any effects you do on top, like motion effects, etc. Dissolves and wipes etc. become frame based rather than field based. That’s about the only difference it makes.
