Please help.

I'm color correcting some DV material in fusion. The DV has been captured as PAL (lower fields) and the putput from DF should go to premiere and then back to PAL DV. Now to the question: What field settings should I have on the Loader and Saver Node?

As it is now, I have the Loader and Saver set to Full frame and the saver outputs an image-sequence. The problem then is that some objects edges get jaggies, I don't know if that is a result of my field settings or if it's just because there is a high contrast between the objects and the bakvground.

Hey Koopatrooper,

Pal fields in DF are Upper Field first. If your footage is Lower Field you should select Pal Fields Reversed.

By setting your Saver to Full Frames, you're dropping a field and interpolating to get a full (half resolution) frame... and jaggies ;)

Also, the Saver setting in DF4 overides all loader's process modes.
