I think I have figured this out –

I’m not interpreting any footage in the project pane.

First I’ve placed my footage in the timeline at it’s standard spot (like option+control+f).

Then I move it to where I want it.

I then make sure that the Y coordinate of my footage is at an odd number – like when it was in it’s original spot – now my footage
looks good again when I render it out. I’m not rendering out the fields in the render settings area.

Thank you!!!!

When I view the final in my crt monitor, your right, it’s more of a mush than a full on field shake.

I’ve been spending a ton of time with different tests as well. I think I’m going to stick with not interpreting the footage and making sure I nudge things in 2. When I interpret the footage the people’s movement looks just a tad blurry or mushy.

It’s been driving me nuts until I figured out that a nudge up or down may be the issue.

Thanks for the tips.

My footage is coming in with no field preference .

When I Interpret the footage AND render out with lower fields picked in the “make Movie” preference area, the footage looks super fuzzy and messed up. If I use one or the other, the footage comes out differently with each setting like:

– Interpret footage – smooth movement on monitor, but you can see some interlacing.

– Don’t interpret footage, but set the lower fields when I render out in the movie preference area in AE – Super smooth good looking footage, but when the people swing their arms or anything it looks very jumpy – like you can see the 2 fields at once –

All of this being previewed on my NTSC monitor – the original footage looks great on this monitor.

I’m moving into a new studio so I packed my Zaxworks manual thinking I didn’t need it…

“Yes, good luck indeed. If you happen to find a good NTSC monitor for $1000, let us know. I need the inspiriation: I’m trying to find a good 5-cent cigar.”

Another user suggested the Sony PVM-14L2 which was around $1300. Would you say that this is not a good monitor?
Looks good, around $1000, not a 20″ or anything…
