[Nick Toth] “I found that setting field dominance to ‘none’ in the sequence settings made my problems with graphics go away. It had been set to “lower” in DV sequences.”

Lower is the correct setting for NTSC DV or SD material. Using “none” will make the graphics look better on your computer screen, but not an NTSC monitor.

Hi Walter

Actually, this is NTSC out through AJA IO to a Sony broadcast monitor. There is a major difference and everything looks much better with field dominance set to ‘none’.

I think he’s right walter. I just had heart failure working on fcp 5 and my new g5. Picture were scaling at an unacceptable quality. changed dominance to NONE, closed project, opened new one and imported and scaled pic. Now its at FCP quality levels and a little better than 4.5 scaling.

I’m having the same issue. Switching fields-dominance to none fixes the image quality problem. It’s a bug, it should get fixed soon enough.
