Field Dominance for HD

Hi,

I'm working with HD1080i footage. Should the field dominance be set to upper or lower in my sequence settings? I drag/dropped the first clip into the timeline and when I checked the sequence settings it defaulted to upper. Is that right or should I switch it to lower?

Thanks,
Shelley

Yup. That is right.

All HD is upper field first (unless it is progressive then is has no fields).

PAL SD is Upper field first with the exception of DV/DVCAM PAL which is Lower.
