What Bogie says is right. What Kevin says is right, too.
If you have no other choice but to chroma key in HDV, you'll pretty much have to resign yourself to crummy-looking edges on your keys, as Bogie says. Why? HDV has lousy color resolution. | | | | |

you could probably better specifics for capturing in premiere in the premiere forum, but in general, for keying in ae, hdv is about as bad as it gets codec-wise.
hdv has heavy compression of it's color components, which is really bad for keying. | | | | |

Yes, you can find the Avid codecs on the Avid site.
As for the "field issue", that may be a resizing issue also.
Try exporting as a Quicktime movie with no compression. Also, what resolution are you working in?

"If you've read my reviews before about Sorenson's efforts in the Mac World, you'll know I've long been a fan of the company's products. The ALL NEW version of Sorenson Compression suite 4 is shipping now, and is by far the company's best effort to date, and I've been running the Squeeze 3 version, and have always found it easy to use, but this new version really takes the cake. Sporting a much beefier interface, Sorenson's new release adds new support for HD, including Apple's own recent codec, H.264. This is just the beginning however."
