Deinterlace/Interlace?

I have noticed in CS4 Pro that when I am scrubbing and watching playpack when I view the image on the screen (external monitor) I see jagged edges on my subjects.
The clips are of dancers on a well lit stage with camera pans.
This looks just like I used to get when I exported a frame in 6.5. Took the bmp to Photoshop to deinterlace so the edges would be clean.
This is happening without any added effects or transitions and is not as noticable when I view the clip on the program monitor, mind you that is a lot smaller than the ext. monitor.
Now is this just the nature of the beast and when I finally export my final video file and make a dvd these edges will disappear?
When I choose field options ans deinterlace the clip they virtually disappear but I really don't think that I should do that?
Here is an example of what I am viewing while watching in playback mose.
Thx

Use this bitrate calculator is find optimal settings for your encoding: Bitrate Calculator
With that material use MPEG2DVD and adjust the settings according to the outcome of the calculator and do not deinterlace.

  • Where is the De-interlace in Adobe Media Encoder CS4?

    How do you de-interlace video Using the Adobe Media Encoder in CS4? In CS3 there was a de-interlace check box in the video Output Tab but there is not one in CS4?
    I am using 720x486 SD interlaced 29.97fps footage editing it and exporting the final product to flash flv.
    Thank you!

    Deinterlacing is now automatically applied if the source and the destination differ as far as their field order is concerned. In other words:
    Interlaced source --> interlaced destination = no deinterlacing
    Progressive source --> progressive destination = no deinterlacing
    Interlaced source --> progressive destination = automatic deinterlacing
    The Field Order option in the output setting determines whether deinterlacing is applied. Be sure to check the "Use Maximum Render Quality" option in the fly-out menu; it will take 4-5 times longer to render, but with better results.

  • Poor video Quality when exporting to DVD

    I cant seem to get a clear video. I am downloading from DV from a canon and the quality is sentational.
    When on the time line averything is brilliant. When rendereing everything is still ok.
    When exporting to DVD it goes pear shaped. I have tried dozens of different variations with the same results.
    I am in AUstralia and am using PAL.
    I get motion blur and what appears to be very poor quality result after exporting.
    Help... I dont have much hair left.

    @Harm,
    "Pear-shaped" (or sometimes "fruit-shaped") is a euphemism meaning that the effort has gone awry; it was a mess.
    @John,
    Export to DVD is a PPro 2.0 function; in CS3 it is now Export to Encore. Is that what you meant?
    First thing is to check the field orders of your source material and of your export settings. Don't invert them, and don't deinterlace interlaced footage.
    Perhaps a short list of the settings you have tried (and why you chose those settings) would help us help you.

  • IMovie - Poor Video Quality when exporting to "Projects"

    Hi - I'm using iMovie 11' and once I move my video (HD) from "Events" to "Projects" my video quality becomes very poor and the video is cropped. I have changed my setting to have it "fit frame" but the problem still exists. Thoughts?

  • Problem with Video Quality when exporting to Quicktime or using compressor

    I've attempted exporting a video sequence (stills with transitions, video footage and audio tracks) directly as a QuickTime Movie and using Compressor (Apple-DVD-HD_30 Minutes) for import into DVD Studio. The export process seems to work well for each. Only problem: the video seems to get a bit distorted at random spots. The best way to describe the distortion: images (still and video) seem to blur and squiggle for a few frames at a time. This distortion is especially prevalent during more complex transitions (3 Spins and such). The sequence is nice and clean in Final Cut. I'm only seeing this distortion after export. Thanks for any thoughts you might have on this issue.

  • IMovie vs FCPX export quality

    Afternoon/morning all.
    Question I have is regarding the export quality of FCPX vs iMovie!!
    I've been using iMovie for over a year now but only recently started to publish my work.
    I get on with iMovie great but the one issue that let's it down is the export quality, it's been driving me crazy but after finally looking into it seems that iMovie is the problem and reduces the footage quality.  
    I'm just thinking about upgrading to FCPX the extra editing features and functions will be great too.
    I just want to know that the exporting footage in FCPX won't reduce the quality of the footage!
    Can anybody help!!
    Thanks

    'quality' is a very complex issue.
    Most consumer IMPORTS do look nice, when the cam is connected straight to a telly.
    … but those recordings contain tons of 'flaws'. (low bitrates, artefacts due to wrong exposure etc)
    the difference, how iMovie and FCPX handle that:
    • iM uses as intermediate AppleIntermediateCodec - which does marvel with all the diff. flavors of video, a consumer wants to edit ... but it is far from perfect.
    • … and iMovie deinterlaces interlaced material = reducing vertical resolution by half
    • FCPX transcodes to proRes or even handles codecs 'natively' - which reduces transcoding errors (dramatically)
    on export, both apps use the same Quicktime-engine, I dare to say no difference.
    using the wrong export settings, multiplies bad imports …
    the 'hurt' is done on import, …
    and most damage, in terms of quality, is done on recording   ....

  • Interlace Deinterlace Export and Youtube Problem

    We bought a nice new high end consumer camera - the Panasonic HC X900M . For the price of about $800 this little camera shoots sharp, crisp, colorful, high definition video. My son is spending a year in China and did not want a large camera. Anyway....
    It shoots in these modes I believe:  1080p   and  1080i . So far so good. The video looks great. We get it into the computer. We did not want to buy a professional level video editing system / software.... So we have ADOBE Elements 10 (I believe it is 10 or 9).   (I use CS6 and like Adobe editing.)
    ELEMENTS does not work with 1080p. So we've decided to shoot in 1080i.
    We bring the video clips into Elements. The settings for the project MUST MATCH the video shot... we understand that. The camera has different settings for 1080i shooting. They are HA HG  HX  HE = different mbps. (Here is a link to the specifications in case you cannot read the jpeg) http://panasonic.net/avc/camcorder/hd/x900_series/specifications.html
    So we set the settings for the
    project at 1080i DV. Can't remember if it was 60i or 30i ? (I don't have his computer here with me...I cannot verify exact project settings. We tried a few)
    Does Elements support this camera's settings for video? In this case 1920 x 1080 60i ?  (list above) Can Elements support any of these, and how? I assume so, but if one mode in particular should be used, please advise.
    For testing we shot in HA I believe to get as much quality in 1080i. We edited a test sequence. It looks and sounds great, plays back just fine in laptop software. Then we export. (The goal is to compress down to the internet Youtube best quality.) We first go to export to Youtube / Web. But Adobe will not ACCEPT his user name and password. We cannot log on to Youtube. Yes, the password is correct. So that does not work. Strike one.
    We decide to export to desktop. We try H.264  and try to set the settings correctly, but every attempt at every setting, results in bad interlaced video. Strike two. There are many many options for export settings. We have tried a great number of options.
    Any settings suggestions to make this work? Besides deinterlacing every single clip on the timeline? Or is that the only option.
    Is there any editing software you can recommend - not high end professional - that will work?
    Thanks for the help.

    Premiere Elements can definitely work with video from this camcorder shot in 1920x1080 AVCHD at 60i. It also appears that your cam can shoot in both stereo and 5.1 audio, both of which Premiere Elements can support -- but take note of which you select so that you can match these specs when you set up your program.
    Currently Premiere Elements doesn't support 1920x1080 at 60p -- that consumer interest in that format is growing, so you may well see support for it in an upcoming version of the program.
    Most professional video editors will work with 1080p60, including Premiere Pro CS6 and Vegas Pro.
    As for the different quality levels of your video, that's your call. The program should be able to work with any of them. But if you want the best results, I'd use the highest bit rate/quality.

  • Interlaced playback in qtpro7 on 1 mac and deinterlaced in qt7 on 2nd mac?

    howdy folks!
    i've got a g4 dual 1.42ghz tower running quicktime pro 7.2.0 and a 17" macbook pro running quicktime 7.2.0...
    currently i'm exporting movies from imovie (although i'm learning fcp 5.1) using either full quality or expert settings...(btw, what are the full quality settings?)
    the quicktime pro on the g4 plays full quality .dv movies with interlaced lines while the regular quicktime on the macbook pro plays the same file back deinterlaced...
    1.   how do i get the quicktime pro on the g4 to playback deinterlaced movies?
    2.   does quicktime playback actually affect the final output to dvd? (e.g. if i cannot fix this deinterlaced playback issue, is it affecting my final dvd product)
    3.   is there an actual quality difference with compression and export going from fcp 5.1 > dvd studio pro 4 / imovie hd 6 > dvd studo pro 4 / imovie hd 6 > idvd 6?
    thank ya kindly for your support!
    cheers, howdy

    2. does quicktime playback actually affect the final output to dvd?
    It shouldn't, but unfortunately some apps stubborny honor the playback quality setting when processing the input files!
    For example: if you want interlaced video-DVD output from Toast 7, you must manually remember to set the iMovie reference.mov to High Quality, non-deinterlaced. Then feed it to Toast 7.
    Also when you import iMovie project's /Cache/Timeline Movie.mov reference movie to iMovie project: by default the input is deinterlaced. So to preserve all quality you must tweak the Timeline Movie.mov's quality settings and uncheck the Deinterlace options.
    Many other apps behave the same so watch out!!
    That applies to .mov files, usually .dv files' playback quality doesn't matter when they are used as an input.
    BTW, .dv files' playback quality is deinterlaced low quality by default. Also note that that it isn't possible to save the high quality flag to the .dv file's data-fork, so you can a) save as... as a .mov file. Or b) save the HQ info in the .dv file's resource fork (MPEG Streamclip and Toast use this trick in .dv files).
    Also remember that to verify what quality flag the .dv file really has, you must disable the QT Player's "Use high-quality video setting when available" -- otherwise the HQ flag is always checked eventhough it isn't really saved into the file!
    So, in summary: you should always run a test with your workflow to verify how each app handles the quality setting of the input file!! If you don't, prepare yourself for unexpected deinterlaced output or bad quality output.
    This is why I have a few interlaced test .dv clips on my HD so I readily see how each app handles them. I'm very familiar with each frame so I can quickly spot any unexpected bad quality from the output (due to unexpected deinterlacing, wrong field dominance, scaling artifacts etc). Those issues are surprisingly common, but sometimes they aren't readily recognized unless searched for.

  • Interlaced or deinterlaced to iDVD?

    I created some short spots in FCP. I export them as uncompressed video. I bring them into a new FCP project for dubbing and they look great when I send them out Firewire to a deck and standard TV monitor. When I view them in QT player they look fine other than that I see they are interlaced.
    When I then use those same uncompressed QT movies to send to iDVD 08 any graphics with movement and sharp edges (or video transitions that have sharp edges) look terrible. The edges are now blocks until the movement stops. These are not single interlace lines, but actual blocks of several pixels. I used the "professional" quality encoding and my startup drive has 50+ GB of space. There are nine :30 spots, so I'm not cramming too much video onto the disc. Do I need to deinterlace the video first?
    Any comments would be most helpful.
    Thanks,
    --Kurt

    Darn good question which I don't know off the cuff so let me do some searching on this forum and in FCP for you and I will post back (may take me a while but I will get back to you).
    in the meantime this makes for good reading in the FCP Forum (First thread represents a similar situation):

  • A deinterlaced project exports as interlaced!

    After finally taking the giant leap from FCP5 to FCPX, all was going well till I needed to export a file deinterlaced, from a DV project.
    I used an interlaced export as a new project, set it to be deinterlaced, and it is... in the timeline.
    But when I export it, it is reinterlaced.  This is madness.
    Does anybody know a means of exporting/sharing a project deinterlaced - or does Apple expect me to buy Compressor for this basic task?

    Where are you going? All sorts, including wmv for PowerPoint and streaming.
    YouTube? H.264 is fine. No.
    Going to DVD? Not so much.  DVD doesn't need deinerlacing.
    Going to high res digital display? Others are better.  For SD???
    Intermediate for something else? Definitely not H.264.  Then what?  For SD remember!

  • If my camcorder records in 1080i, will i have any problems exporting my movie in imovie as 1080p? I read something about interlacing or deinterlacing?

    If my camcorder records in 1080i, will i have any problems exporting my movie in imovie as 1080p? I read something about interlacing or deinterlacing?
    I also have another question. I can't find an external blu-ray burner for a mac anywhere. How to I simply watch my exported 1080p movie edited in imovie on my hd tv? Apple tv only supports 720p correct? I read that the simplest way to watch it would be to save it on a flash drive then use a playstation 3 to watch the movie. Does anyone else have any other ideas? Thanks in advance

    For 1080p via iMovie '11, just remember to optimize video for “Full – Original Size”.
    The latest Apple TV supports HD.
    I've seen low cost Blu-Ray DVD players for less than USD$100.00. I've also seen reasonably priced external BR for Mac...try OWC, as one example.

  • Interlacing - Deinterlacing....?

    Hi,
    Would anyone explain it to me in very simple - easy to understand terms? What is Interlacing and Deinterlacing and how it works?

    I've been generating output files from PrPro CS4 for projection. Since these are in 3D, I create two separate files, one for each eye.
    Source material is 1280x720p MJPEG. After editing, I output using the LEAD MJPEG Codec with just enough compression to keep file sizes to around 1.96GB each.
    Recently, I was informed that the files appeared to be interlaced and the exhibitor had to use VirtualDub to deinterlace them before they could be shown as they looked terrible otherwise.
    Is there some setting in the Export/AME workflow that caused this?
    Or...?
    I thought that I was working in a progressive format all the way.
    Television is not involved in any of this - from acquisition to exhibition. No DVD's, just playing files off of servers to DLP Projectors.
    I looked at the same files on my system, and see no interlace jaggies. He sent me screen grabs of the shots in VirtualDub from his system and there are.
    How can I determine what's going on?
    TIA,
    p.s. Jeff,
    received your Encore DVD book and am digesting it quite nicely. I don't usually output in that format, but have two projects that are looking for them, so I'll be digging into the Menu creation chapters this week.
    Great job! Thanks!

  • What type of deinterlacing does Apple use when exporting interlaced to QTM

    There are many different ways to deinterlace video so I wonder which of them apple uses in QT Pro when you want to export to a QT movie.
    For those who don't know what I'm talking about it concerns video that has been recorded for playback on a TV and each frame only holds half the information and needs to be meshed together or one of several techniques for it to play back on your computer monitor without leaving artifacts or horizontal lines around the edges of moving objects. No technique so far is perfect and I wonder which one apple chose because it doesn't give you any information on it.
    Thanks
    Kevin

    The metal skin is really glued around the edge by a plastic frame. It is this frame that holds the skin to the main frame and can give problems.
    I had to open my ti case to install an airport card. I either did it wrong or the apple glue job was poor because the gray plastic trim around the edge of the metal skin had come loose over 50% of the circumference.
    I had a commercial 3M rubber cement on hand so I used that. I applied it with a toothpick very sparingly (of course the rubber cement gets stringy so the job was a ittle messy).
    I let dry in a warm room for 24 hours. The reason I did that was fumes from curing glue can be caustic and attack some very thin metals etc. I fugured I wanted to lose any fumes before I trapped them in the warm computer.
    It worked well and I haven't had a repeat of the problem.

  • Interlace Deinterlace HELP

    Hi, I'm using Final cut pro on my College Imac to create some music video's that I upload onto youtube. When exporting I was told to De-interlace so I can upload and it turned out fine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjMmQElHtmw but then I asked to put a graphic over the top so I put one in as a .PNG http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQenbQYcYkU and the lines from the Interlace come back and I have no idea why or how to remedy it, could someone help.

    it is a 60 inch 1080p hdtv sony sxrd rp model, I have to say that the only thing that looks good so far is strictly .dv files and even better if right from the camcorder, everything else real soft, blurry or jagged, I am taking dv files to mpegstream clip and converting to mp4, aptv, because I plan on viewing these movies on a mac mini, aptv or maybe a ps3, however now I am thinking maybe dvd for better quality, these tapes were dv that look bad but the 8mm tapes converted to dv look as good as the dv..really lost here.
    1)have 2 mini dv tapes and they are original dv footage (500 rez)
    2)have 12 8mm tapes need to convert to dv (may just convert these to a standalon dvd recorder)
    Figured Id save the viewable versions as mp4 for best results, looks great on mac and mac display just horrible on my tv
