Chapter 12 Commotion Clip FX
You can specify the Max Amplitude (IRE) value in the range 100 to 120 IRE units. The default value of
110 IRE units provides a safe, conservative starting point. Reducing the level to 100 can significantly
change the appearance of the image. Increasing the level to 120 pushes the maximum allowable level and
may produce undesired results.
Field Blend
Field Blend removes field information from the frames in the selection range using one of two methods:
Duplicating one field over the other
Interpolating the Odd and Even fields of each frame to make them identical.
The Field Blend effect is different from the Interlace/Deinterlace effect in that it actually effects the fields,
creating a new frame in place of the current frame; Interlace/Deinterlace creates a separate clip based on
interlacing or deinterlacing of the current clip.
Field Swap
Field Swap swaps the order in which fields are rendered for a layer. This effect can save you time if you
discover your material has been rendered with its fields in the incorrect order, or if you want to create the
effect of mis-rendered footage.
The only option in the Timeline for this effect is Swap. When Swap is selected, the field rendering order is
swapped; when it isnt, the order is unchanged. For special effects purposes, you can animate the Swap
parameter.
