rotoscope question
Dear Cow People,
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I rotscoped a small segment of a non-interlaced graphic. When I render it with fields I can see that the rotoscope does not line up. When I render it without fields, it is perfect.
Am I stuck to rendering progressively? I want to render with fields since I am going to digital beta.
Or is there a way to see where my masks are on each field in AE before I render? Or would this be making double the work for myself? I am just not sure what the best workflow is for a rotoscope,thanks in advance.

I’m not sure of what you need, so chew on these:
1. You don’t have to render fields for video. I rarely do. Video can still accept the non-field-rendered footage and be “satisfied” that it is getting field-rendered video from you … it’s just that both fields are identical. You see?
2. Generally, when rotoscoping interlaced footage, you drop the interlaced footage into a 59.94 fps comp, so you can see each field, then you render at 29.97.Does that help?

Thanks. Yes that helps.I guess if I am doing large compositing with many different elements, it would be best not to render with fields on while rotoscoping. Or rotoscope what I need first (in 59.94) render it and then bring it back into my composite.
-Thanks.
