Hello, I'm doing this motion graphic project in HD ratio, and it will be edited in Avid xpress HD later on. as far as I know, I need to render with upper field first for HD. but I wasn't sure, so I did both upper first & no fields for a test, and the editor said they both have vibrations when they played and I have no clue.
my composite output setting was
1920x1080
pixel aspect ratio: 1.00 square
frame rate: 30fps (I SUSPECT THIS IS WRONG? 29.97 IS WHAT I NEED?)
Fields: uppper first
bit depth: 8bit
render settings
Uncompressed Quicktime: animation codec
Quality: best
premultiply color on
Frame Size: Full 1920 1080
Fields: Upper First
It's always confusing to me... I'd really appreciate it if you guys give me any advise. Thank you!

Your editor should be able to re-interpret the QTime as 29.97 if needed. If interlaced, HD is all upper field first. See if you can get a short clip of something else from your editor to test on your system; I suspect the problem is not on your side. I have seen AVID systems with mistaken terminology: they call upper-first "odd-first", whereas everyone else equates "upper" with "even". Perhaps a mis-interpretation of the footage on the AVID side is occurring?

try rendering in Targa Sequence or TiFF
when importing to Avid tell the editor to set the import options of the fields according to your render setting ( upper first .......etc )
good luck
