Exporting Field Interlaced Footage
If you’re working on media that will be output to an interlaced video format, you have
to set one additional global parameter. Once you’ve finished your composite, you need
to set the fieldRendering parameter in the renderControls subtree of the Globals tab to
the appropriate field dominance.
Field Rendering Settings
By default, fieldRendering is set to off.
There are three field rendering settings:
• off/0: Field rendering is turned off. This is the appropriate setting for progressive-
frame media, including progressive-scan video formats and scanned film frames.
• odd/1: Field rendering with the odd field (counting from the top) first. This is
generally the setting for PAL images.
• even/2: Field rendering with the even field first. This is generally the setting for NTSC
images.
When fieldRendering is set to odd or even, Shake re-interlaces both fields of each
frame when rendering out the final media.
