Field dominance tab in Browser

I’d like to see field dominance Tab in Browser. Metadata Display option doesn’t offer this item. Profissionals need see this very clear, not hidden. Thanks!

It's absolutely the right place to discuss issues.  That's what user groups are all about. 
What I meant was that this is not the best channel to make a formal feature request because it will go unnoticed by the Adobe team.  It needs to be a formal feature request at the link I provided.
I seldom need frequent access to field dominance controls because I am usually in control of most of my source material.  Occasionally I receive footage from around the world which I have to combine.  I then set field dominance on an ad hoc/ trial and error basis.  A simple right-click on the timeline clip suits my low-level purposes.  However, material shot with one particular field dominance doesn't always "swap across" with just the flick of a switch - as you can get unsightly combing on the action.
As a work-around to your issue, can you not do a batch encoding using AME with an intermediate codec.
You must be using an interlaced XDcam format.  My PMW-EX1R set to 1080p25 has no field dominance, but then I'll bet you knew that already  ;-)

  • Field Dominance inconsistent after Advanced Pulldown capture

    Following up on my immediately previous post (regarding the interview footage I captured from my dvx 100A using advanced pulldown setting in FCP5) I notice that, according to my FCP5 browser, some of my captured 23.xx clips show a Field Dominance of Lower (Even), while other clips show the word None under Field Dominance. Should I be concerned? And, if so, what's the solution?
    Thanks!

  • Set field dominance

    When importing SD AVCHD the field dominance set to "Un-modified" by FCP X which create a big problem when burning DVD.
    is there a way to set the field dominance before importing or to set the project field dominance so every clip that go there will have the same field dominance setting?
    I know you can change it after import and before editing but it's very hard in my workflow as I'm working with few different formats and cameras.
    Could you do it on export clip to QT?
    cheers

    Why do you need to set the field dominance?
    Select the clip in the Browser and choose Edit>Item Properties.
    In the window that opens Control-click the item you want to alter (in the Clip column) and select from the drop-down menu.

  • Field dominance in photoshop menus?

    I am struggling with making my photoshop - designed menus look good both on a computer screen and on a television set. They look perfect on the computer but blurred and distorted on tvs. - like the wrong field dominance is set.
    I imported my pict file into FCP to investigate, and found it looks the same there as on the tv. If I change the field dominance on my FCP sequence to none, problems disappear. Aha.
    But in DVDSP, the only thing I can find for this is in the encoding menu, field order options are auto, top and bottom. Auto works with all the other menus... but not my new ones.
    am I missing something in photoshop? or DVDSP?
    any advice so appreciated.

    Yes, it's disconcerting that Streamclip doesn't have a None selection and that when brought into FCP, clip properties continue to indicate Upper. (A fun fact – the same clip from MPEG Streamclip brought into FCP X would be reported as Field Dominance: Progressive. )  But back to FCP 7… for future reference, you can change a clip's field flag to None in the browser.
    BTW, if you bring your 5D clips in using Log and Transfer, the field info will be reported by FCP correctly.
    The 1080i segment setting is a Frame size choice…for whatever reason they never around to putting in a 1080P selection.
    You can copy and paste the original sequence into a new sequence. If it asks (and it probably won't) whether you want to change it to match your clip, you'd obviously say no. The new sequence will then need to be rendered. Hopefully, you'll be good to go.
    Good luck.

  • Offline To Online Changes Field Dominance Settings?

    Hi - I have an offline DV PAL sequence that I am taking online to 10-Bit Uncompressed PAL.
    To my understanding PAL is Upper field dominance, and all my sequences and source files in the offline DV project are upper. However when I check the Uncompressed online project, many of the files (subclips especially) are set to Lower.
    My question is this - since it's easy to change fd for clips by just right clicking in the browser, if I just set the incorrect clips' Field Dominance to Upper and make sure the shift fields filter is not enabled, can I be certain there will be no field dominance issues?
    Maybe more importantly - what is the best way to determine if you have any field dominance issues? Is simply watching it on a monitor/television going to be obvious if something is wrong? Any way to check on the computer?
    Thanks everybody,

    Field dominance depends on the format, not the standard (pal,ntsc).
    DV is lower field dominant be it PAL or NTSC, and uncompressed is upper field dominant.
    For true monitoring, you'll need to view your image through an external broadcast monitor... a CRT television should be suitable for monitoring field issues (i believe... i'm sure i'll be corrected if that's wrong).
    The only obvious thing to look for is 'combing'... the lines (fields) that appear around the edges of a subject on the screen, especially when there is a lot of on-screen movement.
    Just out of curiosity... why are you taking a DV sequence into 10-bit uncompressed? Doing graphics etc?

  • Reverse Field Dominance?

    Hello,
    Mac Noob here and very frustrated with imovie. I use a SONY HDD camcorder but also have Streamclip and the Apple mpeg2 plugin. Whenever I bring movies into imovie it looks great on the playback, but when I export or send to media browser to burn to a DVD, the video loses it's quality. It become slightly blurry and a little choppy. Not DVD quality. When I used a PC and use Adobe Premiere Elements I used to have to "reverse field dominace" due to how the Camcorder records.
    Can I do that in imovie. Anyone else having this problem.
    Thanks

    Hi Chas,
    The export to DVD preset provided by PRE expects 'lower field first' of an interlaced video. So if have shot your clip using tape based camcorders, then your clip will also have field order as 'lower field first' and export to DVD will work perfectly for you.
    However, if you shoot your videos using tapeless camcorders which have 'upper field first' then you would need to reverse field dominance to make your clip as 'lower field first' and after that you should export to DVD.
    The basic funda is that the field order of the preset export to DVD and field order of your clip should be in sync.
    Also make sure that you use the correct project preset i.e a preset which matches the type of your clip.
    I hope this will clear your doubt

  • FCP Field Dominance Error?  1920x1080p displayed as interlaced!?

    Can you answer this?
    Why is a video file in a 1920x1080 progressive format said to have Upper (Odd) field dominance in the Final Cut Browser, which implies that it is interlaced, not progressive?
    Here's the details.
    (A)Video shot in HDV on a Sony Z5U at 1080p30 (1440x1080) is transcoded in Compressor to Photo - JPEG in 1920x1080p30, that's 1920x1080 with square pixels with progressive frames.
    (B)The video is reopened in Compressor, which reads that it is, in fact, 1080p30 (1920x1080).
    BUT!!!(C) When the video is opened in Final Cut's Browser, it reads that it has an Upper (Odd) field dominance, implying that it has an interlaced frame.
    My Plea.
    I can't figure this out, and I need to deliver some video. I have every reason to think my video is leaving Compressor in 1920x1080p30, but the field dominance info in Final Cut is holding me up.
    If I remember right, Final Cut Studio 7 isn't able to handle 1920x1080p, only 1920x1080i and 1280x720p. Is this what's going on, maybe? Does Final Cut just not even know about 1920x1080p?
    I very much appreciate any help.

    Wow, such a quick answer and exactly what I was looking for. All problems solved and ready to deliver.
    I always assumed most programs interpreted files as they loaded them into RAM, or something like that, which is when they would determine something like if a video file is progressive or interlaced. Knowing that Final Cut, instead, looks to a table of standard values when opening a file is great to know. Thanks a lot.
    And lastly, about the sequence settings, I'm ready to deliver - the Compressor export to Photo - JPEG was the last step. I was only opening the file in Final Cut to confirm the right final format.
    Thanks again for the help.

  • Uprezzing SD to HD, make output upper field dominant?

    Ok, so I'm uprezzing a SD short film originally shot on DV, interlaced, to HD for a film festival. After the uprez, the resulting file will go onto an HDCAM tape for broadcast at the fest. I want to keep the interlacing as the crappy video look is part of the story.
    So, that being said, I hear all HD is upper field dominant, while my clip settings and and sequence in FCP for the original SD movie are lower field dominant. In compressor, do I want to change the settings so the output file is upper field dominant since it will be HD, or leave it as is to match the source material (lower field)? Furthermore, there are two places to set field dominance in compressor, one under the encoder tab, after pressing the "video settings" button (if interlaced is checked), and another under the frame controls tab. Do I set both to upper/lower field dominance, or is one telling it what the source footage looks like and the other is for the output file? Thanks.

    OK, here you are,

    No.
    Unless the browser has that feature.

  • Is there any way I can see field dominance?

    I have been working on a project shot in HDV1080i50. Now I need to make a 14by9 PAL master in DigiBeta format. So I create an umcompressed PAL sequence and drop the final AIC 1080i50 version of the program into it.
    Sending the uncompressed file off to be printed to DigiBeta the bureau says the fields are reversed. My problem is that I can't find any way to see the final project to see if I have got the field dominance right. Does anyone know of a tool that would let me look at the fields in the final Uncompressed print I generate. (when I play it on the computer screen it appears to play fine since computer monitors don't do interlaced)

    Hi Paul,
    I've been battling these same issues, making DVD's from HDV footage, I didn't go via AIC, or out to a bureau, though.
    I found that, the uncompressed codec, when dropped into compressor, is defaulted to a different field dominance than a DV codec, even though they were both lower field dominant in the FCP sequence.
    I needed to manually change the dominance of the uncompressed movie, to lower, before I created an MPEG 2.
    Can you tell the bureau to do the same ? That your footage is correct (lower first) but that they are not treating the uncompressed file as such.
    What are they using, once you have given the file to them - compressor ?
    The shift field filter is right. But the whole thing is quite confusing, and I found the default field dominance in compressor was different, if I printed an uncompressed file out, or exported directly from FCP to compressor (which is very slow, but does not require the uncompressed file).
    However, regardless of the default compressor set, lower field dominance was correct, and the saved movie was correct for lower field.
    Hope this helps.

  • Field Dominance and De-interlacing: what settings to use?

    I've been trying to read about, and understand, the issues of deinterlacing and field dominance/order, but I'm having problems and don't yet see what the clear solution is.
    I'm shooting DV footage with a consumer grade camcorder:
    Capture Preset: DV NTSC 48 kHz
    Sequence Preset: DV NTSC 48kHz
    720x480 NTSC DV
    QT Video Compressor: DV/DVCPRO-NTSC
    The problems are "teeth and vertical lines" in the quick movements and transitions, but fixing one (by changing the "Field Dominance" setting in the Sequence) makes the other slightly worse, it seems.
    Or, maybe I should be using the de-interlacing filter on everything? I haven't found clear instructions about what destination material this should be used for...
    I'd be grateful if someone could look at this web page containing examples of what I mean:
    http://www.karma-lab.com/images-pub/apple-q/fielddom_nt.html
    Picture 1: NTSC DV frame, from sequence set to "Lower (Even)"
    Picture 2: NTSC DV frame, from sequence set to "None"
    Picture 3: frame from "Cross Zoom" transition in "Lower (Even)" sequence
    Picture 4: frame from "Cross Zoom" transition in "None" sequence
    Questions:
    1) What are the correct settings? it would seem to be "None", because otherwise my transitions all have "teeth" and look like somebody is viewing it cross-eyed, even at full speed you can see the teeth in the transitions. But if I set it to none, then it seems that quick movements of the people in the videos get slightly more "teeth" to them...
    2) I am producing web video (quicktime/flash video movies). Not for TV or broadcast. Am I supposed to throw the de-interlacing filter on everything?
    with "lower", it's jerky (half the frames missing, I guess) but the "teeth" go away
    with "flicker-free", it's not jerky, but it gets a little fuzzy looking, and I want to keep things "crisp"...
    I need less advice on the theory, and more advice on "set it like this for what you are doing." I've read some really technical explanations, and I understand why interlacing exists etc., but not exactly what I should be doing to get the optimal results for my needs, i.e. simply good-looking web video with decent motion and transitions, shot from a consumer level DV camcorder.
    Thanks for reading!

    What are the correct settings?
    Since you mention that you've shot your material on a consumer-grade camcorder, that would mean that Field Dominance – in your FCP Sequence Settings – should be set to Lower. If you use None – and I'm sparing you the tech talk here – then you're basically rendering out at a reduced quality (as the last pic in your link demonstrates)

    If you really want to keep things crisp, you best quality option - within the Final Cut Studio suite of tools - is to Export Using Compressor, with the Deinterlace option in Compressor 2.x's Frame Controls to Better (Motion Adaptive) while setting your Output Fields to be Progressive (presuming that you'll exporting to QuickTime first, then converting to Flash. Having said that, this type of conversion can take a long time to process and may not be suitable if you're under a serious time constraint.
    Otherwise, the speediest option is indeed to slap a Deinterlace filter onto everything (or nest your sequence then place the filter on the nest) but the quality isn't always what folks would like.

  • 23.98 fps advanced pulldown removel with lower field dominance??

    When ever I have captured 24p advanced material shot on a DVX100B, I have always used Final Cut Pro 5's advanced pulldown removel easy set up (2:3:3:2). I haven't run into any issues until now. When I try to capture 24p advanced material, for some reason Final Cut sets my field dominance as lower (even). I made sure I was using the capture pre-set for advanced pulldown removel (23.98) and I was. Is there any way to fix this? I tried trashing my preferences but that didn't help. This is progressive scan material so in the past Final Cut Pro has always set it to field dominance as "none". Also, because my 24pa material is having a lower field dominance and as 29.97fps, I have to render in my 24pa sequence which I have never had to do. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    PS: I'm using OSX 10.4.8 (the OS choice drop down menu hasn't been updated)
    Update: I tried capturing a short clip (about 30 seconds) and it worked fine, but when I try capturing my clip, which is about 10 mins, I get it capured at 29.97 with lower field dominance.

    Anyone ?
