Oh boy.
I went through this non-sense a few months back.
Save yourself the headache. Render out full frames and have the fields created in your comp. XSI basically renders 2 full hieght frames and interleaves them anyway, so you are actually not saving yourself any render time doing it in XSI.
So trust me, just do it in the comp. I went half mad trying to get it to work right inside XSI, it doesn't work, and if you let XSI interleave it you are stuck.
Field rendering in HD looks awful, I still can't understand why anyone would want to use it. It looks smoother, but your get half your vertical resolution!

Subject: field rendering in xsi 5.11
Hello,
i try to render out a bunch of passes with upper fields (hd/pal)
problem however is, that the field option sets itself back to lower
fields, after i closed the render dialogue or reloaded the scene.
right now i try to get around that by execute a pre render script that
sets the order right. but thats not so much safe it seems and i wonder
if there is a workaround or fix for that?
minor but annoying bug.
also, whats the half resoltion option is for? i dont dig the math
behind it.
i render 1024x576 which is pal 19:9 with quadratic pixels. that
picture will be shrinked in editing to 720x576 with squished pixels.
when i render full rez fields i get 2 pics with 1025x576 and a
interpolated one with the same size. thats fine.
half rez however it gets me something like 5xx by 576.
what is that good for? how do you make use of that?
ciao
franky
