Deinterlacing

Hello,
I am currently using JMF to display video input from a capture card (coming in though composite). I have this working both in JMFStudio and in my application. However, the video suffers badly from artifacts around moving objects. It has been suggested by one of my colleagues that a deinterlacing mechanism would improve the situation. Is there a way I can "plug in" something that would improve picture quality? if so, what do I plug in, and how do I do it?
Thanks for your time in advance,
Ken

can anyone point me in the right direction?

  • How Do I Use The JES Deinterlacer to Deinterlace!!!!!

    Having spent the last week recommending the JES Deinterlacer to all and sundry, I have just tried to use it! (And have I got egg on my face!)
    The instructions are obviously written by experts for experts.
    Quite simply I have made a slide show in iMovie using jpeg photos. Some of them show the classic interlace shimmer when played on a TV. (My system is PAL). I just want to deinterlace the video and export it back to my mini-DV camera.
    Can somebody please tell me how to set it up to do a straightforward deinterlace?
    The JES interface has 4 columns;- Project, Input, Colour and Output.
    I assume I can forget about the "Colour" window.
    Do I need to configure all the other 3 windows and if so exactly what settings do I put in each?
    I have been blabbing on about how the JES should be put with other useful utilities in an FAQ - but what is needed is a simple set of instructions for we who are technologically challenged.
    Ian.

    Thanks Sue.
    However, it only seems to deal with converting NTSC to PAL etc. and not a simple deinterlace.
    I have been doing a bit of fiddling around and banging my head and have come up with what MIGHT be the correct method of use.
    1. In the Project Pane choose Deinterlace and leave everything else in its default state.
    2. In the Input Pane choose the iMovie movie I want to deinterlace and leave everything else in its default state (except for maybe selecting "Remove jaggies").
    3. Ignore the Colour Pane.
    4. In the Output Pane choose a suitable title for the deinterlaced movie and change the Compressor Panel - "Direct" from the default "DV-NTSC" to "DV-PAL". Leave everything else on that panel alone.
    5. Press OK and wait for the movie to be converted.
    Have I got it right? Is that how to use it?
    If it isn't I would value the advice of someone who can tell me how I should be configuring the panes etc.

  • 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.

  • Premiere / Media Encoder CS5 and deinterlacing

    Maybe it's just me, but I'm not at all happy with the deinterlacing results from Premiere CS5 and Media Encoder. I've been using Premiere since CS3 and hoped for improvement in CS4, but no. And now with CS5, it's still just not good...
    This is what I do in an nutshell: I edit 1080i HDV video in Premiere (using 1080i timelines) and export it to several formats, including 720p for Youtube. Now, whatever I do, I alway get some staircasing / aliasing on deinterlaced output. Not really bad and hardly noticable on video, but very noticable on logo's (which - ironically - are progressive to start with). Preview in Premiere looks fine, but as soon as I put the content through media encoder: staircasing. Even with the new "Use maximum render quality" option enabled.
    When I output my 1080i timeline as 1080i MPEG2 video everything looks pristine (motion adaptive deinterlacing is then done upon playback by my nVidia graphics card). When I leave all rendering options the same and export 1080p or 720p - leaving deinterlacing to media encoder - staircasting is easily visible on logo's and detail is lost in the video compared to real-time deinterlaced output by my graphics card.
    I guess my main question is: Why can't Adobe get this right? nVidia and ATI can do it very well and in realtime on their graphics cards (and have been able to do so for several years now) and freeware filters such as the ones used by ffdshow do a far better job too.
    Why can't a high-end and expensive video editing solution like CS5 get this right? Hugely disappointing

    Hi Todd, Steve,
    I'm running CS5 a Cuda enabled system  (Intel Core i7 965, 12 GB DDR3, MSI GeForce GTX 285 with 2GB memory and a secondary GeForce 9400GT 1GB, running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit).
    Cuda support is enabled in premiere CS5, as my timelines are yellow even when I enable cuda accelerated effects such as color correction. So no problems there.
    I work with 1080i50 HDV and AVCHD files, which I normally use in a HDCAM EX 50i timeline (I use HDCAM EX because that enables me to render all effects and graphics in 1920x1080, instead of a HDV timeline which renders everyting in 1440x1080). I have tried using native HDV timelines too, but that reduces horizontal sharpness on our logo and on sceen graphics, while the deinterlacing problems I encounter are exactly the same.
    The problem is that when I export an HDCAM EX timeline to 720p, I get noticable degradation in image sharpness and visible jaggies on our on-screen logo. The same applies when I export to 1080p. When I export to 1080i (so no deinterlacing is done by Premiere or Media Encoder), the file looks great on playback (deinterlacing done in real time by my nVidia card).
    For the last few weeks I've been working a round the problem in a way which is not ideal for me, but which does seem to provide better results:
    I now work with HDCAM EX 25p timelines instead of 50i, and I set the 'field options' flag for all my clips to 'always deinterlace'. This results in a loss of temporal resolution on my timelines (which I don't really want, since I also export to PAL 50i) but it results in noticably better sharpness and less aliasing on 720p output.
    I'd love to share my on-screen logo title if you wish to have a look at it. Our logo contains a circle which shows easily visible jaggies when deinterlaced incorrectly. Please let me know how to get the files to you.
    Thanks,
    Eric

  • Black screen after deinterlacing, 2 video cards inside MacPro

    Hi!
    I'm using QT 7.2 Working with HDV1080i footage.
    When I select Deinterlace option I get black screen...
    I'm using two video cards X1900 (2x30" cinema) and GF7300 (1x23"cinema)
    Please help...
    regards
    ARTI

    Hi,
    Safe Mode just loads basic video, it seems your graphic card doesn’t work properly with your computer.
    For this situation, this seems a hardware issue, before you send device back to ASUS, you can update your BIOS to the latest version for a check.

  • Still images exported to DVD look deinterlaced and flicker on TV monitor

    Hi,
    I have tried tried almost everything and I still have issues with the still images exported to DVD as sequencefrom FCP 7.0 by using Compressor are deinterlaced and flicker on TV monitor. Please help remove the annoying flicker.
    My FCP Timeline Sequence settings match the image resolution:
    Frame Size: 1024 x 682 (double of 720 x 480 standard DVD res)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square
    Field Dominance: None
    Compressor: Photo JPG (also tried, DVCPRO-NTSC)
    I cropped the original images in Photoshop to the 1024 x 682 and saved as tiffs. They still look deinterlaced in FCP timeline and exported to DVD on my iMac computer monitor.
    Final output of DVD will be on this monitor:
    Specifications:
    Ikegami
    Model: VCM-2101
    Resolution: 450 TV Lines (Horizontal)
    Should I crop the images to 450 horizontal pixels or the double of that 900?
    How can I match the sequence or the images settings to avoid the flicker and deinterlaced look on that monitor? I am not able to test the image by having the monitor next to computer.
    Compressor:
    I used custom DVD settings in Compressor for 90 min best quality DVD. Tried the Porgressive and "Same as Source" in Output field.
    In "Crop to" and "Padding" I set for preserve source aspect ratio and letterbox area of source.
    I followed the advices from below and I still did not resolve the problem. Please is there anythign else I can try?
    Thanks a lot..
    Re: Poor Quality Stills
    Dec 19, 2006 4:08 PM (in response to Steve Braker)
    Things to try (In increasing order of image degradation)
    - (in FCP) field order>none
    - (in FCP or Photoshop) reduce whites by 10% - reduces overly bright areas
    - (in FCP) flicker filter - minimum
    - (in Photoshop) motion blur>vertical> .2 - .5 pixels - blurs vertically only
    - (In FCP or Photoshop) Gaussian blur> .2 - .5 pixels -blurs both horizontally as well as vertically
    - (in FCP or Photoshop) deinterlace - throws away half the image and is generally not appropriate on scanned images

    Dear Russ,
    Thank you very much. Yes, there is something else in the sequence, old documentary, 768 x 570 (no field dominance, 25fps, Apple ProRes 422) but the images are more imporant.
    make a progressive sequence with  square pixels. (I am partial to 720P, 1080 should work – or 540). Choose Pro Res 422
    Do you mean that I should make a sequence in FCP with these settings? If yes, how can I set a "progressive" sequence? I dont see a setting for output field in FCP sequence settings, lnly in customizing Compressor output DVD format.
    Also: "720P, 1080 should work – or 540" are you talking about Frame size? If so, to set in Compressor or in FCP?
    If you have interlaced material, then de-interlace before you bring it in. If you don't have interlaced clips, don't de-interlace.
    The images are not interlaced after  I crop them, apply motion blur filter in Photoshop but look interlaced in FCP timeline after I import them and even to the same as photos sequence in FCP timeline.
    Please help and thank you for your comments.

  • A question about deinterlacing on export in CS4

    I've always found the "deinterlace" checkbox option in Adobe Media Encoder gives substandard results when encoding to WMV (and possibly to other formats, but I'm typically exporting to WMV), particularly when you're exporting at the true frame size. My workflow for fullsize projects which matter has typically been to export a DV AVI, then do the deinterlace/compress stage in Windows Media Encoder which produces distinctly better output.
    Is this now fixed in CS4? Or have I missed a simple trick which solves the problem in CS3.
    Best,
    Keith

    CS4 now decides for you to deinterlace or not based on the export option and source material. Which is why there is no longer a "deinterlace" checkbox in the export options.
    You will have to decide yourself on the quality. You can still perform your workflow if you wish to compare.
    On the flyout menu there is an render high quality option. The main purpose is to improve scaling. It does improve scaling quality but increases render time significantly. I havent tested to see if it also improves deinterlacing where appropriate.

  • 16:9 JES deinterlacer slow motion

    I am trying to use JES deinterlacer to slow down a clip but cant seem to get the output in 16:9. I have followed the instructions below and keep checking the 16:9 box but the output is always squashed 4:3. I've tried fiddling with the options and cant seem to find an answer.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    From JES instructions.,..
    Slow-motion and fast-motion: In JES Deinterlacer's Project tab select "Project kind: Standards conversion". Select "Custom" and set "Movie speed: 0.5" for 0.5x slow-motion, 2 for 2x fast-motion and so on for other speeds. You can select speed ratios in the range of 0.1-10x with 0.01 decimal precision (with v2.7.1 the 0.1x may stall and with 0.2x the audio is out of sync. 0.25-10x are OK). THEN set the other options:
    For NTSC use "Settings/Height: 480, Width: 720, Frame rate: 29.97".
    For PAL use "Settings/Height: 576, Width: 720, Frame rate: 25".
    Check "Blend" and let "Scale only" remain unchecked.
    In the Output tab set "Video output/Compressor/Export: DV Stream.../DV Format: DV, Video Format: NTSC/PAL, Scan Mode: Interlaced, Aspect ratio: 4:3/16:9, Audio Format: Unlocked/Locked, Rate: 48.000 kHz".
    Let "Progressive (out)" remain unchecked. (Leave the other options as defaults).
    Select the output folder via "Put..." and click "OK" to start processing.

    I exported the clip as a full quality clip from iMovie5 (had to go back to it after audio trouble importing from my HDR-HC1). I get a .mov file and then use that as an input file for JES. The 'converted' file is a .mov.proj.dv file which looks like a squashed 16:9 in 4:3 window in QT. I tried importing it back into iMovie and it imports as a 4:3 with black side bars - no letterboxing. The project I am working on is a 16:9 HD format.
    I havent tried any other exporting yet as I'm fairly sure if they look that way in QT and imovie then that's probably how they are.
    I do notice that when I make all the settings in JES, as I outlined in my question post, once I change the aspect ratio to 16:9 and then close that window and open it again, the setting seems to have defaulted back to 4:3. I tried it several times... (Ver 2.7.3 - I think that's the latest)
    I really appreciate any advice.

  • Adobe flash player and deinterlace option

    Hello!
    I get tv (h264/ts) from satelite, then, with wowza server, send it to flash player. (use rtmp).
    On picture I'm can see interlace.
    Adobe flash player has deinterlace option or I can solve this problem with my encoder?
    Sergey.

    It seems that going to Preferences>Security> Check allow plug ins, then manage sites, and then allowing one site allows all??? Seems like a lot to go through.  I have installed the player 4 times now and just got it figured out!

  • Should I be deinterlacing?

    Hello All,
    I've had some old 8mm movie film transferred.  It was transferred at 18fps and was shot (transferred) on SD digital video onto a miniDV tape.  When I'm editing this footage it has lots of jaggies on my iMac screen.
    I'm putting this footage onto DVD that is going to be distributed to some family and friends.  So if I've got this correct I don't need to deinterlace this footage if it's going onto a DVD and shown on a CRT television, but there may be family members that have DLP, Plasma, LED TV sets.  If I'm understaning this correctly all those newer style TVs shown progressive pictures.  So should the video be deinterlaced for them or does the newer style TV sets figure that out and show it correctly?
    If I'm putting this footage onto a DVD for viewing on TV sets is there ever a time when I need to deinterlace?
    Thanks for your help.
    Mike

    Progressive video may appear choppy and maybe distorted on a CRT tv set.
    When I'm editing this footage it has lots of jaggies on my iMac screen.
    Ideally, this should not happen, do your sequence settings match your clip ones? How does the video (the captured one) look when played in quick time?
    So should the video be deinterlaced for them or does the newer style TV sets figure that out and show it correctly?
    Most DVD players and, I would dare say, all contemporary TV sets take care of deinterlacing themselves. No need to worry (at least much).

  • What to Deinterlace

    I'll start with my workflow,
    Im shooting DVCAM and HDV PAL and using FCP5, once my project is built i send MP4's via email to a website builder, burn DVD's as hard copies and dub the created sequence back to tape for storage or sometimes broadcast.
    Should i have my sequence set with a field dominence and should i use a deinterlace filter on all my clips in the sequence?

    my suggestion would be to ensure that your DVCAM sequences are set to lower field and your HDV sequences are set to upper field. you should not need to use the deinterlace filter.

  • Video Levels and Deinterlacing

    I have been trying out Premiere Elements 10 and had a couple of questions. First, if I take AVCHD footage and check the video levels in Premiere Pro, it seems to indicate that the video is 0-255 on the RGB scale. Is there any way to test or see the video levels in Premiere Elements 10? And am I correct in assuming that Adobe converts AVCHD to 0-255, as opposed to Sony Vegas, which does 16-255?
    My second question involves deinterlacing. Is it necessary to select the field options - deinterlace option when rendering web video like WMV, MP4, and FLV, or will Elements do this auotmatically? If I need to select deinterlacing, does it need to be applied on a clip for clip basis, or will selecting it under clip - video options only apply it to video that needs it and not deinterlace, say, a still picture in the timeline that is already progressive? In other words, if selecting deinterlacing is necessary for web videos, does doing so at the clip level cause any quality loss to progressive still images in the project?

    Though PrPro offers many CC Effects, right now, many use AE for Color Grading. However, things might change. Here are some recent threads on what Adobe is planning:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/938287?tstart=0
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/939053?tstart=0
    For the vast majority of my work, I use PrPro, and AE. Remember, PrE is not a "pro-level" NLE, and is basically designed for DVD/BD, and then delivery to sites like YouTube. There are few, if any, broadcast functions in it.
    Good luck,

  • Turning off deinterlace in CS4 before video exporting or a substitute solution

    I have had a problem for a long time now regarding the missing function in the Premiere Pro CS4 Export Settings window when trying to export a video in FLV. When I playback the rendered sequence I get a poor quality video (it also looks like it is stretched vertically). In Premiere Pro CS3 however, I just had to uncheck the Deinterlace option in the Export Settings and then I had a crisp video. Since this option is clearly unavailable in CS4 does anyone know of any subtitution for unchecking the Deinterlace option in CS4? Please note that the output file must be FLV.
    The settings under Clip > Video Options > Field Options... do not seem to do the trick.

    Yes - your question had much to do with the issue.
    I was dealing with very different file formats and even file size.
    I found that m4v is very slow for FCE to process.
    I also found that I can convert files to FCE format much faster in a side program - I used Squared 5 Streamclip to cut the videos down to the clip I required, then saved them as Apple DV/DVCPRO-NTSC with the sound at AAC 48 128. It processed much faster in Streamclip! Then imported without the need to render at upload! I was very pleased to say the least. The output file is .mov and it seems like this makes your FCE much happier!
    We have too many options and not knowing what the options actually mean allows it to work, but really slowly!
    My biggest concern is - why was it sooooooo hard to find information online about this. I searched forever before posting a question. The hardest thing is trying to word the question to be short and find the words that will key into the answer since the words you use is how search works. Search doesn't read vibe - only keywords and frequency creating GOOGLE rank so it will show in the search.
    Thanks for the direction. I had read a lot of things but this was the direction that got me back in control of my MAC.

  • 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.

  • Compressor / Deinterlacing

    Hello -
    I have a few files to encode for the web, and I need some advice on compressor and deinterlacing.
    I exported the video from FCP to Compressor to be encoded @ 640 x 480 with H.624 (2k kbps). I chose the deinterlacing filter, with the sharp algorithm, but the video - when exported - did not look good. I applied the frame controls; choosing out put fields: progressive and deinterlacing: best (motion compensated), and the Compression had 86 hours still to go after leaving the job all night (over 12 hours).
    As a last ditch attempt at getting these jobs to run - with an acceptable end product and an acceptable timeline - before my deadline (Monday), I have applied the deinterlacing filter in FCP, and then submitted the job to Compressor without Compressor applying any deinterlacing.
    Will this provide a deinterlaced final video...?
    I am using FCP 5.1.4 and Compressor 2.3
    I am running the above on a G5 Dual 2GHz w/2 GB DDR2 SDRAM

    Hello All -
    The first scene just finished exporting, and I checked the .mov in Quicktime and the files looks good after applying the deinterlacing in FCP, and not applying any filers or frame controls in Compressor. Thescene took a fraction of the time to export - Around 1.5 hours to export 8 mins of video, compared to 32 hours when using frame control.
    Thanks to anyone who was thinking about answering my question
    Cheers.

  • Deinterlacing BMD DNxHD footage

    I am currently running 1080i footage through a BlackMagic ATEM Television Studio, and taking 1080i output into a BlackMagic HyperDeck Shuttle 2 via SDI, which is set to record to a Quicktime DNxHD format.
    Unfortunately, if I edit this footage in Premiere Pro CS6 (using the mac version FWIW), I can not for the life of me get it to deinterlace.
    I've tried setting the Field Options on each clip to "Always Deinterlace."  I've tried exporting to explicitly progressive settings.  I've checked the "Render at Maximum Quality" box when rendering.
    If I run the raw footage directly through Handbrake and set to Deinterlace there, it comes out right.  If I run the final Premiere Pro footage through Handbrake and set to Deinterlace, it comes out right.  I just want to know why all of the settings in Premiere Pro designed to convert interlaced content to progressive content are failing to do their job.
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks for your help.

    Step 1:
    Export video to YouTube 1080p settings (or manual H.264 settings with 1080p output).
    Step 2:
    View video.  Observe interlacing lines everywhere.
    Step 3:
    Turn on deinterlace filter in VLC.  Interlacing lines disappear.
    This would be one example of the non-deinterlaced output, which is pretty evident the minute you turn on 1080 streaming:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaWVvv40kaw
    I suppose it's possible the Premiere is doing some deinterlacing, but doing a phenomenally poor job of it.
