Field Rendered Images are images in a sequence of images designed for video playback on NTSC devices. Each field, or image,
contains only 1/2 of a full frame, and each field is stored in a separate file. Rendering images in this manner can be helpful
when designing animations that will be played back on NTSC devices. However, to view these images on a computer screen, or
to transfer them to certain other computer programs, you need to reassemble them into full images. When this happens, you
end up with 1/2 as many files, and each file has twice as much data.
