Features of FieldsKit

• 8 and 16 bits per channel processing (only 8 bits per channel supported within Final Cut Pro). Floating point image support for After Effects 7.0 and up.
• Multiprocessor support.
• All plugins work an arbitrary resolution (including HD).
• Deinterlacer and Reinterlacer work on both PAL and NTSC footage.

FieldsKit Deinterlacer

• Options to build better-looking frames by looking at surrounding areas in order to reconstruct better edges.
• Option to deinterlace using motion estimation.
• Ability to only perform deinterlacing where there is motion in the scene (useful for locked-off camera shots).
• Ability to blur in the vertical direction to reduce or eliminate flickering or crawling artifacts.
• Ability to post-sharpen to help regain some of the detail lost when creating the deinterlaced frames.

FieldsKit Reinterlacer

• Create interlaced material from progressive material using motion estimation.
• Ability to interlace frames from a progressive sequences. This is often useful for applications that do no support interlaced frame display (such as After Effects)
• Ability to combine and blend fields to help reduce artifacts in interlaced material.

FieldsKit Pulldown

• Ability to remove and create pulldown.
• Both traditional 3:2 and 3:2 PA pulldown supported
• Ability to animate the phase of the pulldown menu for material that has multiple cadences in the original material. Note: Final Cut Pro does not support this feature because menus are not animatable within Final Cut Pro.
