Working with assets
Understanding field dominance
In interlaced video, each frame is composed of two fields. In Grass Valley systems
such as M-Series or K2, video is field-1 dominant; each frame consists of field 1
followed by field 2. For example, when you navigate through the clip to the
beginning, the K2 system goes to field 1. When you navigate through a clip to the end,
K2 goes to field 2.
The in point of any trimmed clip always starts at field 1 of a frame. The out point of
a trimmed clip is always one frame past the stop point of the clip. For example, if the
last playable frame is 01:15:00,04 then the out-point mark is 01:15:00;05.
