Can anyone tell me the correct output setting for an HD quality animation? I know the size should be 1920 X 1080 for 1080-I, but which field should be rendered first? And for 720-P the screen size should be 1280 X 720, but for the progressive scan, is it better to use frame-based, or just go with interlaced (top or bottom) and let the editing software figure it out?
I'm trying to make an animation that will be universally acceptable, and I know rendering will take forever, but I'm willing to deal with that.
Any ideas would be great.

It all depends on how it will be viewed, final output, etc....
Frame-based is used for animation. Now if one incorporates video, it depends how one's NLE handles the different sources. Ulead software allows one to use frame-based and fields together on the timeline. Just set project settings to match your desired output.
Here's a link to frame-based animations at different resolutions.
