  • To render fields or not to render fields?

    Posted by Tom Donnelly on April 6, 2009 at 6:34 pm

    That is the question.

    Haven’t had to deal with fields in some time now, but am working a gig creating graphics entirely in AE, and importing to a 29.97 DVCPro HD sequence that am roughing. Sequence in FCP is set to upper field dominant. I DID NOT render the graphics out of AE using fields, left as frames. Everything looks fine on my LCD screen, but wondering if this will be acceptable to the post house when they do the actual output and view on a CRT (they will be mastering to tape).

    Should I be field-rendering (upper field 1st) my After Effects graphics, or will they play clean/smooth over the footage rendered out in frames when the footage is DVCPro HD field-based?

    Hi Tom,
    There is no technical problem using your p30 graphics in an i60 sequence.
    Of course they won’t show as smooth as if they have been exported as i60.
    If you are happy how they look just go ahead.
