Setting Image Clip Video Texture/De-interlacing Options

You can specify the field type of image clips in your scene. This is important if you are using video files as textures and you intend to render your scene in fields instead of frames. When an image clip’s field type is specified, the clip is de-interlaced at render time so that only one of the clip's fields appear in each of the scene’s rendered fields.

Field Type is a clip effect, requiring that the clip’s Image Management mode be set to Load in Memory. Setting the field type subjects the clip to all of the caveats that clip effects entail. For details, see Applying Clip Effects.

For more information about field rendering, see Field Rendering in the Rendering guide.

To set a video image clip’s field type

1. Edit the clip to open its property editor.

2. From the Video Texture/De-Interlacing options on the Texturing tab, set the Field Type to None, Lower Field First / Even (NTSC and DVFormats), or Upper Field First / Odd (PAL and HD Formats).

This specifies the field order for video images clips. This setting should match the setting on the Fields and Scripts tab of the Render Options property editor. When Field Type is set to none, the clip is not
de-interlaced at render time.
