I don't think that is correct (if I understand correctly). All VTRs edit on field 1 and do a full frame edit. (some high end vtrs have a switch to edit on field 2 and can do field edits but this is rare and not used in this case) The frame buffer holds exactly what it says, 1 frame. If the current frame in the buffer contains information from the next frame (field 1) you could have dramatic results. What if frame 8 is my last frame of my animation and frame 9 is a cut to black. Then I'm going to have 1 field of animation and the other field of black (according to what I just read). Makes for an interesting looking frame. Am I understanding this correctly? Regards, Larry
