seperated fields
I’ve been using premiere for a while now and just started using a tv monitor connected through a dv camera as a monitor. I noticed that when I pause premiere in the timeline the fields are seperated badly on the monitor but seem to be fine when it’s playing. Atleast that’s what it looks like. I slowed a clip down and the slower it was set to the more I could see the seperation. I have done several videos from the same camera and never changed any settings as far as the fields are concerned and never really noticed any issues. I am using CS3 and I can find the interpret footage dialog but nothing about changing fields. Can someone shed some light on this?
Thanks, Chris- MN

This is not a problem unless you plan to entertain some one in your editing suite and show them stills.
OR do you have additional concerns? -
I have found the settings for the fields but nothing seemed to make a difference. I’ve noticed that the tv screen is showing the seperation and not so much the monitor. It also flickers badly on the tv when paused. I imagine the problem is with using the tv as a monitor. I’m assuming after encoding that it will play just fine on the tv. Still be interested if anyone has any thoughts.

The TV is showing you the correct image. Computer monitors do not show fields correctly, they are progressive display devices. Fields should flicker on a still pause. If your motion looks good on the TV, then your field dominance is good. If your motion has judder/strobing, then most likely your fields are reversed.
