Apple Shake 4 - Manual (Page 202)

202 Chapter 6 Importing Video and Anamorphic Film
Setting the deInterlacing parameter for each FileIn node not only separates each field
internally to Shake, but it sets the Viewer to display each field with interpolated lines of
resolution added, so that each field appears as a complete image. The default
interpolation quality is somewhat low, but is fast to work with. To improve the display
and processing quality of individual fields, see “
Setting the reTiming Parameters of Each
FileIn Node ” on page 198.
Important: While you’re working on your composition, you should leave the
fieldRendering parameter in the renderControls subtree of the Globals tab turned off.
Otherwise, the Viewer simultaneously displays both fields for each frame regardless of
the Inc setting in the Time Bar. Later, when you’re ready to render your composition,
you must then turn fieldRendering on to output interlaced media.
Zooming In on Interlaced Images in the Viewer
Zooming in on interlaced images in the Viewer can result in some undesirable artifacts.
These artifacts will only appear on your computer screen, but will not appear in the
final rendered output. These artifacts disappear when you set the Viewer back to a 1:1
viewing ratio (move the pointer over the Viewer area, and press Home).
