Export to interlace

How does one export to an mpeg2 m2t extension which is interlaced? Compressor only gives me the automatic filed dominance selection and it keep producing progressive files. The original file are interlaced and I do not want the progressive look

Click on the little gear icon so you can change the Field Dominance drop down menu... Those little gear icons in Compressor are for turn on/changing menu options.

Still Frame Quicktime Export with Interlace. what can I do?

hi.
do you know how to avoid the interlacing happening when making a still frame with quicktime conversion in fcp? I need some stills for promotional purposes but the interlacing is a problem obviously.
thanks for you help.
best rob

2 ways- make a freeze frame and export a still of that or de-interlace in photoshop.
The problem is you are throwing away half of the vertical resolution. If you're going to be printing these, they'll look like heck. I understand there's a niftyplug in called genuine fractals for photoshop that does a decent job of up-rezzing.

Export QT: Interlaced or Progressive

Hi all,
Wonder if you can help me. When I do an export QT from FCP in DV PAL, I have the option to choose Interlaced or Progressive. Now I 've tried both and both files play OK on my computer. My question is when would you use Interlaced and when would you use Progressive, and why?
TIA

TV & broadcast is interlaced
Computer is progressive
DVDs can be either.
good luck.

Blurry titles when exporting from interlaced to progressive?

I have a project which is DV PAL (720 x 576) and needs to be exported as a progressive H264 mpeg file. The video looks good in the export, but the titles are blurry. I just did a test and exported the project interlaced, and titles were fine. So the problem is clearly the transition from interlaced to progressive. Is there any way to get crisp titles in this situation?
Using Premiere CS6. Have tried exporting to progressive with several alterations to the title clips (reversing field order, always deinterlace) with the same result.

Hi JR Dungan,
How about you create a new progressive sequence, and then copy paste all of the content of your current interlaced sequence into the new progressive sequence, and export from there. I haven't worked with interlaced footage for years so I don't know for sure if this will help or not, but since it's quick and easy to do, it's worth a try.
Cheers!

Export Question/Interlacing Plain English

Hello,
2 things:
1) did a project for girls basketball team. Had 20 hours of of dvd to import. So took the short route and changed the .vob files to .mpg. Imported into Premiere cs3 (I know not best way). What happened was when I exported the finished video to mpeg and made a dvd in encore cs3 the video footage came out jumpy on fast motion. I think this is related to interlacing?? I used all default settings for export. I believe in Encore there is a detect interlacing when rendering, if I check that will that fix everything?
I then went back and just made a movie which renders the file as an .avi. Imported that into encore and the video now plays fine on standard DVD's except for one of the movie selections(I will take that).
2. I have been trying to grasp the whole interlacing/de-interlacing, does anyone have some basic definition to help this rookie?
Thanks in advance

Craig,
It's been my experience when importing DVD-sourced material that the field order needs to be reversed in order for a clean export to whatever your final destination may be--and that includes going back to DVD. Unfortunately, this is not something that can be done automatically, or from the bin level in PPro CS3; it must be enabled in the timeline. Drop your clip in the timeline, right-click on it, and select "Field Options". In the pop-up pane, check the "Reverse Field Dominance" option and hit OK. You might not notice any change, but when you render/export now, that stutter will not be apparent. I frequently have to mix DVD-sourced footage with DV footage, and the only way to get a clean export is to follow this practice. Unfortunately, since you've likely already chopped up your original DVD rips in the timeline, you're going to have to do this for every single clip in the timeline.
Interlacing is an antiquated holdover from the early days of television that we haven't been able to shake even with the emergence of high definition video. Google for "interlaced video" and you'll find all the dirt.

How to export HDV interlaced project as progressive?

Hello guys,
I have finished my video. It is sitting on my interlaced timeline waiting for export.
The video was shot and edited in HDV 1440 x 1080 i 60. Timeline settings are the same as video settings.
If I export it using Quick Time movie, I will end up with HDV 1440 x 1080 i 60 file with .mov file.
But how can I obtain HDV 1440 x 1080 30 progressive .mov file?

When you Export to QuickTime Movie, you don't have to use Current Settings. You can export to anything, including HDV 1080p30. However, this will merely set the field dominance of the exported movie to "None".
To get a progressive result you'll need to de-interlace your sequence with the "De-Interlace" filter. To avoid filtering every clip in your sequence, Nest your sequence first, then apply the filter to the nested sequence. Option-double-click the nested sequence to load it in the Viewer, then access the Filter tab and try the different de-interlacing options. Flicker Filter (max) gives the smoothest (but a slightly softer) result.
Finally, Export to QuickTime Movie, choosing a 1440x1080p30 preset. ProRes and HDV are your options here. However, only go back to HDV if you're:
a) Exporting back to HDV tape
b) Producing an HD-DVD disc with DVD Studio Pro
c) Needing to keep a relatively small file for archiving purposes
d) Not applying many effects or colour correction filters
If you're going to recompress or treat your sequence further, you'll probably want to export to ProRes 422 as an intermediate format. You'll probably also want to look at the Render settings under Sequence Settings and set the render codec to ProRes 422 for the same reason.
HDV native editing is great for most purposes. However, if you're colour correcting or using heavy effects (like a De-Interlace on every frame!) you can avoid recompression artifacts by rendering and exporting in ProRes.
If you really want the progressive look, try to shoot progressive in the first place. The Canon HV40 will do a great job if you're on a tight budget.

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!

FCP Item Properties (Progressive) - exported File (Interlaced) - how?

Item properties of my XDCAM EX clips areProgressive (as expected - they were shot that way)
(Field Dominance - None).
But if I export a clip from my (field dominance - None) timeline . . .
Whether I choose Uncompressed QT, PNG or JPEG - they all come out (Field Dominance - Upper).
PNG was the only export that gave me a choice - I chose "None" for Field Dominance and it still came out "Upper".
Is it me, or what?

you might try using compressor to do the conversion and see if that makes any difference.
I exported ProRes 422 using compressor and that was progressive - but at the time I was trying to export a file that someone with a PC could examine. They can't handle ProRes but they seem to be able to use PNG, JPEG or Uncompressed QT.
All of these were interlaced!
(Curious).
The moment has passed now because I was looking for a way to get good quality SD from XDCAM EX footage.

Templated iPhoto slideshow will NOT export interlaced no matter what I do!

Hi!
I'm a very IT-literate, video technology literate guy, primarily because I am a video editor, so I do know my 25p from my 25i.
I've a series of photos, assembled in iPhoto, templated with lovely - if impossible to edit - transitions, set to music, its all divine. I play it on my 1920x1200 monitor and it's a smooth as silk.
Now, I want to burn it to DVD. Even HD-DVD. So, to keep the motion smooth, I need it to export as interlaced video.
I've tried everything. Hi-def Apple Intermediate Codec set to Custom and HDV25i, (or whatever it's called; I can't check as I'm exporting my n-millionth version), I've tried Apple ProRes422 (HQ and 4444 - both abort in the export), I've tried standard def DV (interlace option on, of course), I've tried 8bit uncompressed, AJA 10bit YUV...you get the picture.
Nothing, but nothing is coming out of iPhoto interlaced. Oh, I've done share to iDVD, too, but same thing.
Does anyone have any clues? It's really a requirement for the software, given the fast motion whip pans it does between the slides, but I can't make it work, and I do this kind of thing for a living.
I did search this forum for "interlaced" but only came up with another thread that I'd posted in! If there are other threads elsewhere, I'd really appreciate a link!
Regards,
Phil

The iPod will need to be serviced, to determine the exact fault and repair it (if possible). You can get the current 7th gen iPod nano as an Apple-certified refurb for $99 (with a one-year warranty)
http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/ipod
so the cost to repair your nano may not be economical. If you are the good at such things, this web site has DIY repair guides

Be sure to rule out the other possibilities. If you have an Apple Store nearby, you can make a reservation at the store's Genius Bar and take it there (along with your docking cable).

Aspect ratio issues in iDVD with mov files exported from FCE

Please help. I believe this is an iDVD bug. I have found some relevant discussion of it on online forums - but have not found a solution that works for me. I am looking for a workaround.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1356500&tstart=31
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
My 4:3 movies, exported from FCE in QT-with-conversion formats (any 4:3 format) - appear in iDVD with gray side-pillars (as expected for 4:3) AND with a black line (letter-boxing) at top and bottom - as would be for 16:9. It appears the aspect ratio is also distorted i.e. 16:9. (The iDVD project is set to 4:3.)
1- A 4:3 mov file exported from FCE using Quicktime Movie format (no conversion) does not have the problem, but I cannot de-interlace the video using this export mode.
2) A 4:3 mov file exported using QT-with-conversion mode (any 4:3 format) DOES have the problem. I need to use this mode in order to get de-interlace.
(Exception: 640x480 VGA mode does not have the black lines, and it displays correctly in dvd player on my computer screen - but on the TV screen, it crops content from the top and bottom of the movie, so this is not an option.)
3) In Finder, if you click on mov file exported QT-only (no conversion), it opens in the FCE viewer. If you click on mov file exported in any other 4:3 mode, it opens in Quicktime viewer (i.e. there is absolutely something different in the header/ID of these files.)
4) All mov files, regardless of export mode, show correctly in Quicktime viewer - no black line, no distortion. The problem does not occur outside of iDvd.
5) I tried passing the QT-with-conversion mov files through an Inverse-Anamorphicizer (per suggestion on forum - this apparently fixed the problem for some people) but the resulting output mov (i.e. the inverted product) still had the same problem.
I am, so far, left with this trade-off: Give up the de-interlacing, or live with the letter-boxing/ distortion. Neither is acceptable.
I am looking for a workaround:
1) A way to export de-interlaced 4:3 mov from FCE that shows in correct ratio in iDVD
2) A way to "convert" / re-head mov file after exported so that it displays corrrectly (inverse-anamorphicize) so that iDVD reads it correctly
3) Can the mov be de-interlaced after the fact (so I could use QT export without conversion)?
4) Something besides iDVD to put this together - that doesn't have this problem? (I like and want to use the iDVD menu/theme.)
5) Other?????
I also notice that all the QT-with-conversion mov files are 1/3 to 1/2 the size of the QT-only mov file, which is valuable and preferable to me. (I don't see any quality difference in the display...)

In the Preview window > top frame > middle button
do you have correct for pixel aspect ratio checked or not?

Save for Web Export

I am trying to use the save for web export option to save out a file of type JPEG.
I have gotten the code working fine if it saved out with the default file type of .gif, but I cannot get it to work with .jpg.
set theExportOptions to {class:save for web export options, interlaced:true, quality:30}
tell current document
export in (theLocation as text) as save for web with options theExportOptions
end tell
These are the pertinent lines from my code, so if anybody can tell me how to save the file as type JPEG so that it is a scripted version of Photoshop's save for web feature, that would great.
I am also using Photoshop CS2 v9.02 if that helps.

You would have to code that seperate eg:
FitImage(1000,500);
function FitImage( inWidth, inHeight ) {
   if ( inWidth == undefined || inHeight == undefined ) {
      alert( "FitImage requires both Width & Height!");
      return 100;
   var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
   var unitPixels = charIDToTypeID( '#Pxl' );
   desc.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID( 'Wdth' ), unitPixels, inWidth );
   desc.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID( 'Hght' ), unitPixels, inHeight );
   var runtimeEventID = stringIDToTypeID( "3caa3434-cb67-11d1-bc43-0060b0a13dc4" );
   executeAction( runtimeEventID, desc, DialogModes.NO );

I need help. Is exported deinterlaced mp4 or QT video possible?

I've tried everything I can think of but I can't get iMovieHD 6 to export non-interlaced mp4 or QT video.
My camcorder is set record progressive. The video plays in iMovie as progressive. But every time I export a video clip the clip is always interlaced. I am exporting at 720x480 at 8 mbits/sec and I don't about the file size as long as it isn't straight DV.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm...how can progressive footage be converted to interlaced?!
It is possible with the right software. You take a quality hit, but it is possible.
I am having the same problem. I have 1080i footage and it will not deinterlace. The option may as well not be there, because it has no effect on the output.
I am going to check out this MPEG Streamclip program you speak of. It is only going to be useful if it can spit out at least a 720p file out the other end, otherwise iMovie will have to convert it. Now you have a video that is not even edited yet and it is a 3rd generation render. Further more. This initial video I edited is 25 minutes long. I rendered it out to 1280x768 and it took my MacBook 4.5 hours to render, single pass!
Thankfully I do not actually own a highdef camcorder. This is footage from a friend I am editing. Come on Apple! I am not going to spend hundreds on a Pro app to get de-interlaced 1080i anyway so come and fix this!

AVCHD Exporting Options

Hi,
I am just testing CS4 and was playing with some native AVCHD. Editing the native file is OK, but I can't seem to get a good quality export. I am sure it is something I am doing, but the exports display interlacing problems as well as macroblocking issues. I am exporting as follows:
Quicktime using h.264
480x270
29.97fps
100% quality
progressive
Is there something I am missing? I have tried a number of different codecs, h.264(not quicktime), f4v h.264, and a few more I can't recall.
If I take the sequence to After Effects and render it from there using the same settings I get a great result, I just can't seem to get one out of PPro. I also tried this same footage in Final Cut through Compressor and also get great results. I have even tried transcoding this footage to DVCProHD and using that in PPro, but I still get poor results. I can only guess that I am missing something, but I am at a loss as to what it could be. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ryan

I didn't, but I did try the Willis button and it still didn't make it look any better.

Interlacing problems with iDVD Preview and burning - comb effect appalling.

When using iDVD to burn content onto DVDs, I suffer from "comb effect" interlacing related problems both in the iDVD Preview and with the final product played on a computer. I have yet to play the disc in a "real" DVD player.
I am editing HDV (60i) footage with FCE 4, exporting (both interlaced and de-interlaced - same problem) to 1920x1080 HD at a Quicktime movie, and then importing the clips to iDVD.
The clips are short (under 10 minutes) and play back perfectly on Quicktime.
Once imported to iDVD, the iDVD Preview displays (especially with motion scenes) four areas of horizontal jagged edge areas, which are spectacularly distracting.
Here is an example:
http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u4/praxisuniversal/InterlacingProblem.jpg
I have tried various settings using iDVD, but have not been met with success. In other, similar discussions, people have had luck with other software programs, but I am reluctant to spend great gobs of money if the Apple Discussion Brain Trust can find a way to circumvent.
Thanks!

What's happening with quality in CS3?

Hello to all,
I really hope someone PRO can give us a help because we are all driving crazy here.
We use premiere for a lot of years, now using premiere pro cs 3 , we bought the full bundle.
Our work is always some filmed scenes with our sony hdr camera, they some after efects files and then a lot of 3D animation imported as frames in .tga format.
we edit great, etc, etc.....the nighmare is the exports. We always lost quality on exports.
For flash, some lines seems flickering and there are little "teeths" on non ortogonal lines...it is awfull.
If we do export to h264 the "teeth" problem disappear, so there must be a problem with flash...or the problem is "us".
the same problem happens when exporting to WMV 1920 1080 full hd...it destroys our films completeley....again the same "teeths" on non ortognal lines........This is always in the 3D rendering sequences.....What are we doing wrong.???
I must say that exporting to DVD makes always our films look a little blured.....why????
help us to understand why so much bad quality is happening with cs 3. Some of those problem didn't happens in the previous premiere version.....
we are driving crazy and considering moving to FCP2 where it seems the export options work better.
thanks

@Harm:
You don't necessarily need $2K+ for a good encoder: For MPEG-2 DVD, try HC Encoder -- it is free and much better than AME, IMO (requires some AviSynth skills, however). For .flv, take a look at On2 Flix. It is not free, but much less than 2 grand.
But perhaps more important than the "encoder" is proper preparation prior to encoding: This sometimes requires more sophisticated deinterlacing and scaling than Premiere can provide. In other cases, the solution is as simple as making sure the "deinterlace" checkbox is not checked when your sources are already progressive.
@franciscovidigal:
Some (possible) solutions:
> For flash, some lines seems flickering and there are little "teeths" on non ortogonal lines
This is perhaps because your sources are progressive but the "deinterlace" box on the Output tab of AME is checked by default.
> the same problem happens when exporting to WMV 1920 1080 full hd
... same situation as above.
> If we do export to h264 the "teeth" problem disappear
Maybe you are exporting as interlace h264 and so avoiding the unnecessary deinterlacing?
> I must say that exporting to DVD makes always our films look a little blured...
Premiere is horrible at exporting HD->SD resolution.
To help you further, I need more information:
1.) What kind of camera is it exactly, and is what format is your footage (1080/60i, 1080/25p, 720/60p, etc.) ???
2.) Are your animated sequences rendered as interlaced or progressive?
3.) What are your project settings and do they match the same resolution, framerate and field order/structure of your sources? Furthermore, do all of your various sources match in this regard?
4.) What is your target output format? I'm guessing you're working with an HD timeline and looking to export both DVD and .flv versions from it? What's the target resolution for the .flv?
