Okay. Are you sure the original footage is lower field first? If not you can check this by 2x clicking on the file in the Project window (with the Option (Alt on PC) key held down), this will open the footage window. Go to a part of the footage that has some movement and Command (Control on PC) click the right arrow key on the keyboard. If the interpretation is correct the footage will move forward each press. If the interpretation is incorrect the footage will jump back on one frame then forward on the next. Once you have determined the field order you must render using the same field order. Does that help?

Did you separate the fields when you imported the clip? Select the clip in the Project window and from the FILE menu choose INTERPRET FOOTAGE, then select either Upper or Lower Field First from the Fields and Pulldown section.

You’re right. There is a slight softening, which seems to be some sort of interpolation issue.

Hi Chris,
Take a look in the Trapcode Gallery (https://www.trapcode.com/gallery.html). There’s a clip by Jason Koxvold that may give you some ideas. You could also try the Time effects such as Echo, Wide Time etc. That may be a better way to go…cheers,

You can also hold down the Option (Alt) key when you hit the period key on the keypad and you’ll get an audio preview of your work area.

A quicker way is to set the comp frame rate (Composition Settings) to 59.94. This will show you every field in the comp window. If you have the timecode base set to frames your clip will appear to double in length in the timeline. If you have the timecode base set to SMPTE your clip will not appear to change but when you step through the clip frame by frame, the time indicator will only update every second step.
Once you’ve finished the rotoscope just render the comp out at 29.97fps with fields (you can set this in the Render Queue). There’s no need to change the comp back to 29.97.JD
