Re: Maya 720P Render for NTSC Broadcast

I read in the Maya help for fields that I change the "Frame by" setting to .5, which would then double my frames. Then you take that and conform it to the proper rate with fielding. Is this the proper way? I despise the mess it makes when you have an element that is fielded in a After Effects Comp and then you have all these non fielded After Effects created elements...just makes a mess of things. I wish there was a solid way to do the piece in 24p all the way through After Effects and then somehow conform it down to 1280x720 at 29.97 fps without introducing stutter. I have tried the video copilot preset, AE Interpret, Compressor, Cinema Tools, etc...they all get the file to 29.97 but the playback in Final Cut stutters. So I have retired to the fact that I will have to render out of Maya at 30p and then work in a 29.97 comp in AE. However I can't seem to shake the jagged edges on the 3D titles...which I imagine is the fielding issues I mentioned above. HELP!?
