Re: Field Issues in QT movies from Ki Pro

It is quite likely that your footage does not have any issue. Using desktop software tools to evaluate video interlacing isn't always the most reliable method since software applications may only display a field at a time for preview on the computer desktop. If the footage appears correct on a video CRT monitor (which natively supports interlaced material), then the footage is likely fine. Additionally, you can verify field dominance in an application such as Final Cut Pro 7 via the Edit>Item Properties>Format selection. Review what is reported in the Format tab, Field Dominance. SD NTSC should have a field dominance reported of Lower (Even) and SD PAL should have a field dominance reported of Upper (Odd).

If you have additional questions or concerns, please feel free to contact AJA Technical Support via phone or email, Monday through Friday, between 9am and 5pm PST.
