70 VIDEO EDITOR
If you are working on frame-based video, select the Frame-based option in the
Frame type list. For field-based video, select either the Lower Field First or
Upper Field First option. Exactly which one depends on the type of video capture
board used to digitize the original video. (For more information, see the
documentation accompanying your video capture board.) If you cannot determine
the correct order, switch between the two and render a section of your movie to
see which gives you the best results.
If your video was originally field-based but you are editing the video as frame-
based, select the Deinterlace option. This helps combine the two fields into one
frame. For frame-based video that you are editing as field-based, select the
Flicker reduction option to help Video Editor create the two fields necessary for
each frame. This may require some initial experimentation, and may only be
apparent when you output your movie to a video tape. Click OK when you are
done setting the options.
• Display aspect ratio may be disabled if Perform non-square pixel
rendering is not selected in the Project Options dialog box or if the video
clip has a ratio of 16:9 or 4:3.
• If you already determined the aspect ratio settings in the Preferences dialog
box, you don't need to change the aspect ratio again in the Media Source
Options dialog box unless you want to use a different aspect ratio for a
particular video clip.
