[Nocturnal Edit]

When I change my sequence settings to HDTV 1080i (16:9) and my Editing timebase to 23.98…. The field dominance option becomes shaded nactive and autmatically set to NONE. This makes sense in that, when setting the frame rate to 23.98 at HD you would be working with 24 frames per second progressive.. thus there wouldn’t be any field dominance? Am I wrong in assuming that? If this isn’t the case, why doesn’t final cut offer the option to set a sequence that’s HDTV 1080p?

Thx,

Final Cut Pro HD doesn’t have an option of 1080p sequence or I would use that… Just 1080i, HDTV 720p, HDTV 1080i, DVCPRO HD 720p60, DVCPRO HD 1080i60.

It may be reversing the field order… But the problem I’m having is the fact that it seems to rendering something wrong. Can’t see it on my computer monitor of course, but on an HDTV or NTSC downconvert I see jitter frames that appear to be shifted fields or bad pulldown when stepping through frame by frame that got it kicked back.
