G Fields and Frames

G Fields and Frames is a utility generator that will take a video clip made up of a set of fields in sequence and interlace them together in pairs to form a new video running twice as fast. It will also split a video clip into a series of fields by extracting the fields from the video clip in order (with a selectable blend option).

Additionally, the 100% mode just plays back the video at normal speed - but why is this useful? Say for instance you're working in a 24fps timeline and want to include some very nice slow footage. To get a good slow footage you shoot at 30p instead of 24p. If you were to put the 30p footage directly onto the FCP timeline, FCP would drop frames to make it run at 24p - not what you wanted. By dropping it in this generator and setting it to 100%, each frame of your 30p footage will be mapped to one frame of 24p, making it run longer, giving the desired effect.
