Exported footage has major interlaced lines!

Hi, I was hoping somebody could help me with this encoding problem.
I'm using Premiere Pro CS4 and when I export my video using the "MPEG2-DVD PAL Progressive Widescreen High Quality" preset, the resulting video has major interlaced lines when playing back on my DVD player. I confirmed the progressive option was selected in the advanced video options.
I'm not sure what could be causing this since the source footage is supposed to be progressive (HDCPRO HD at 720p) and all the project and sequence settings are progressive. Here's the details:
Source Footage:
Manufacturer: Panasonic
ModelName: AG-HVX200E
Type: P2 Movie
File Size: 4.0 GB
Image Size: 960 x 720
Pixel Depth: 0
Frame Rate: 25.00
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 16 bit - Mono
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Mono
Total Duration: 01:12:08:14
Average Data Rate: 963 KB / second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.3333
Sequence Settings:
Editing Mode: P2 720p 50Hz DVCPROHD
Timebase: 50.00 frames/second
Frame Size: 960x720 16:9
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.333
Fields: No Fields (Progressive Scan)
When I export the footage using upper lines (instead of progressive) they play back fine on my DVD player.
Any ideas to what could be causing the interlaced lines when exporting as progressive?

OH...I just remembered something...
I have an old TV...which is 4:3.   ntsc but dont matter I dont think re: this subject...
I made a DVD that was 16:9 and played it on my old dvd player ...and watched it on old tv.  It CROPPED the 16:9 frame !  
Playing on my computer it was fine...as I have a flat widescreen...
But I wanted to watch this video while sitting on my couch, on TV , as I was making final decisions about the edit and making notes (stopping , starting, etc )
My DVD player and tv combo does not have the option to go to a 16:9 format...so it was cropping the frame and was bad news.
To fix this I had to open a new project as 4:3 and put the 16:9 video into that project...and scale it to fit the 4:3...which gave it black bars on top and bottom....and exported mpeg 2 dvd...burned dvd etc.
NOW when I put it on my tv it was lettebox and I could see the whole frame etc...
So, in essence I forced it to be letterbox for an older dvd and tv...
If this is something you want to consider with your pal project it doesnt take long to make that happen...
playing the first export ( 16:9 ) on NEW tv ( widescreen ) ...was fine by the way...

  • FCP has obvious interlaced lines!!!! HELP!

    i would be editing a movie in FPC show with panasonic Gs-320 with 29 frames per second and in FCP everything looks PERFECT!! but then when i render it it has really bad interlaced lines whenever an object moves fast. is there any way i can get rid of these?
    any answer will help!!

    Well, first off your camera records 29.97fps...that is 30fps running at 29.97 (slightly slower...but that is a story in itself). And that camera shoots interlaced...unless you chose a progressive setting, if that camera even has a progressive setting. And this interlacing you don't see when playing in the camera viewfinder or on a TV because they are designed to play back interlaced properly. Computer monitors are not...so they show the interlacing in a not-so-pretty matter. If you want to see what you really have you need to send the signal through your camera to a TV.
    Shane's Stock Answer #8: External Monitor Viewing
    If you are working with DV, this is simple. First connect your computer to a camera or deck via firewire, Then connect the camera/deck to your TV/Monitor via RCA or S-Video.
    Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
    Go to the View Menu, choose > External video > all frames
    VIEW>Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
    VIEW>Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
    Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
    If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
    1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
    2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
    3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
    4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
    5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
    6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
    If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section.
    If you are working with HDV footage, FCP 6 allows you to view this via firewire, but ONLY as downconverted DV. It won't look the best, but you can see it. To do this,
    If you need to view any format other than DV at full resolution, then you need to look into capture cards. Several standard definition and high definition models are available from www.aja.com and www.decklink.com. With these options you'll need a proper monitor to view full broadcast colors, but all models allow for realtime standard definition downconvert, allowing you to view HD on an SD monitor.
    The Matrox MXO is another option that is output only, but allows you to view your footage on an Apple Cinema Display at full broadcast quality.

  • Interlace lines on export, mixed media project (Canon XH A1and iPhone 4S)

    I'm having a problem when exporting my project from Final Cut Pro X 10.0.7. I have shot at 50i on my Canon XH A1 and am also using iPhone 4S footage. It plays fine when editing but when I export using the .h264 codec I get horrible interlace lines across the footage which are really pronounced when there is any type of motion in the shot.
    I've tried ticking the de-interlace box on the clip settings, changing the settings to progressive, changing the fields to upper or none and exporting the project again but I'm still getting these lines when playing the exported film in VLC player.
    Please help!

    Thanks Tom, I knew it must be something simple I was missing. Big help!

  • Compressor makes terrible interlace-lines !!!! Help !!!!

    Compressor makes terrible interlace-lines in moving parts of th video, when I want to encode my ready cut video from Final Cut for DVD Studio.
    I export my video - DV PAL 720x576 16:9 anamorph - as usual as a Quicktime-mov. This Quicktime is still ok!
    Then for encoding to Mpeg-2 I use Compressor 3.0.1:
    DVD Best Quality 90 min - MPEG-2; 6,2 MBit/s; 2-Pass.
    The result has terrible lines in themoving parts of th video !!!
    What is wrong? Help!

    Have you tried changing your frame control settings, to deinterlace the video?
    Have a look at these settings.
    If you want even better results, set the Deinterlace method to Best (Motion compensated).
    It is important to change the Output fields from Same as source to Progressive, if you want the deinterlacing to have any effect.

  • When I render and Export there are these little lines around moving objects

    When I render and Export there are these little lines around moving objects, what are they and how do I fix it?

    The lines are caused by the video being interlaced.
    If you export to DVD they should no longer appear. However, if they don't disappear you can use the Deinterlace filter on the footage whilst in FCE.
    How are you exporting ..... QT Movie or QT Conversion ....... and what are you exporting to - the internet or DVD?

  • Please help! GH1 footage has jagged edges in Premiere Pro CS5!

    Hi everyone. I shot some footage with my Panasonic GH1 (the GH1 records 24p inside a 60i wrapper) and placed it into the AVCHD 1080p 24 timeline. Now, my footage has jaggies wherever there are horizontal edges of objects in the footage (eyeglasses frames, edges of chair, etc.). I am guessing this has to do with the footage being interlaced. But, when I click on the clip and go to Interpret Footage and click "Always Deinterlace", nothing happens. The footage looks exactly the same! How do I get rid of the jaggies? Thanks.

    Yes it does. But... here's something I found out recently. I downloaded the Cineform Neo Scene demo and while it works, it makes huge .avi files and kinda defeats the purpose of being able to edit the native files. So.. after further investigating... late last night I launched TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress just to see if the cineform codec is in the options.. It is. So, I could use the codec from the demo to do the job... But.... Xpress does a FANTASTIC job of pulldown on it's own! Just click filters>deinterlace.. 24p Pulldown removal! Then you can save that as a preset and apply it to groups of clips. Then export as .mp4 which is also h.264 at around 20mb/sec CBR and you have files around the same size as originals that will edit just like AVCHD in CS4.2/CS5 Plus.... Xpress 4.0 uses the Cuda card for encoding! SWEET!
    Oh.. full version $99

  • Visual Glitches in 720p HD Exported Footage on Final Cut Pro

    Hi...
    I'm working with Final Cut Pro, on a brand new Mac Book Pro. My footage has come from a Kodak Zi8 video Camera. It was shot at 720p, and the format is MOV.
    I've cut up all my footage into a nice little video diary, with simple cross dissolves, and a few text overlays. Nothing fancy. But when I export it, my final file has a ton of visual glitches throughout the length of the video. A lot of the transitions it freezes on and then comes in after.
    I'm exported as a self-contained MOV file. I've never had this problem with SD footage. Am I doing something wrong? Help please.

    ok... How would i go about converting the footage, considering that the footage comes off the camera in it's raw state in that format. What program should I use... and what difference would it make.
    My editing process ran smoothly... it was when I exported the file that I noticed the glitches.
    I always export as a high quality quicktime format. Until I clicked the "recompress all frames" option, it wasn't rendering the transitions and text overlays correctly.
    The final result looks great now... for a cheap "HD" non 3 CCD camera. See it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4rNajjeURM
    I have a Panansonic HVX, with a P2 card that I could shoot and edit at 1080i, but for simple video diaries, I need a quick solution for editing this footage. And imovie doesn't give me the versatility that FCP does.

  • When i'm editing my video in the timeline it looks perfect, but when i save the video and replay it on quicktime it has these weird lines? does anyone know how to fix that?

    As Tom states, that's interlacing.
    Interlacing was invented when the TV was born, to carry 1/5 the frame with each Hz of the electricity rating. In the US, that's why you use 30 fps (or 29.nnn) in the US and we use 25 fps in europe as the electricity is 60Hz/50Hz.
    Interlaced video should ONLY (I repeat ONLY) be used for analog TV signal transports.
    Each and every digital TV set today, including all the computer screens, is Progressive, updating the full frame at each screen refresh. And most TV's even refresh much quicker, newest TV's refresh a 800Hz..! (giving then problems with the newest LTE spectums..)
    If your source media in interlaced, ask why! And stop shooting interlaced.. ;-)
    If you have interlaced video, make sure you apply the DeInterlace setting when you import and transcode it.

  • How do I add a time stamp to the moving "Major Grid Lines" of a Waveform Chart?

    Hello
    I am using LV 8.5.1
    I am using a Waveform Chart and I have turned on the "Major Grid LInes" using the properties tab of my waveform chart. (properties-->scale->grid lines)
    When the code executes, I want to attach  a time stamp to each moving yellow grid line.
    So as the grid lines move from right to left, there is an associated time stamp for each.
    Can someone help!

    If you right click on your graph and go to X Scale >> Style >> and then choose one of the 3 styles on the far left you shoul see timestamps for those grid lines.

  • Wife's iPhone keeps shutting off randomly and does it even when on calls, restarts and has a dark line in center of the screen then the apple logo. At times it does it several times or won't power up, and the iPhone4 is only five months old. What do we do

    Have an iPhone 4 that is now shutting off randomly including during calls. The iPhone is roughly about five months old. When the iPhone shuts down and tries to restart it usually take two or three times before it stays on, but when it does it sometimes has a dark line down the center and shuts off. Not very happy about the iPhone doing this. The store we had purchased the iPhone 4 from suggested that we contact Apple to see about a replacement, or send it away for service. As you can tell we are not happy at this point since the iPhone is crucial part of our day for work and family. What should we do at this point?

    Thanks for the suggestions!
    Except I tried all those before I even made this topic lol, but thanks!
    I Already popped out the Sim Card & let my phone sit without it for a few minutes then put it back in. Sometimes it will work again & it will say it recognizes the SIM Card but more times then not it still says it cant recognize it! So I have to take it out & reinsert it multiple times.
    & I have done a complete restore 2 times & a back up restore 3 times. Nothing seems to be working.
    I am planning on going to the Apple Store this week, wish me luck!
    But keep the suggestions coming if you have any, I'd appreciate it!

  • Although photo appears beautiful on phone screen, when reviewed in gallery, half the picture has a large line going through it.  Any ideas?  I went to VZN and they replaced my first new phone 3 days ago for this same issue.

        I'm sorry your pictures appear different in your gallery sillyymom. I know its frustrating with viewing important images. Are you using a 3rd party picture application? do you have any apps that may be conflicting with your pictures. Have you tried to review your picture settings?

  • Iweb 08 has major stability issues

    So, my last post was deleted when I talked about how disapointing iweb 08 was. I don't think I was over the top or saying anything that was untrue.
    This software has major stability problems. I have seen other posts that confirm this. I cannot publish because it crashes on publishing. And worse, after the crash my system does not fully recover without a restart. tiger becomes sluggish.
    Also, the enormouse amount of resources this program takes up is no better then 1.0

    Gah, thought I had this problem down because I hadn't seen it in a day or two but I just had a crash again. Let me describe what happens:
    So seemingly out of nowhere, as in I've been doing the same tasks for a few hours and then this happens, the computer locks up. First the wireless gives me no incoming or outgoing traffic. I'm still connected to the network at school, but nothing is happening. When I go look at the network stats on the iStat dashboard widget, there's nothing going on. Then if I move the cursor up to the menu bar, near the airport icon but sometimes near others as well, the beachball shows up. Not anywhere else on screen, just there. So I try to open activity monitor to see what's hanging. First I try it via Quicksilver, which subsequently gives me the beachball as well, and then by clicking on the activity monitor button on the iStat widget. Thats when the whole computer freezes up. I can move my mouse around and click on things, but nothing happens.
    Background. I just performed the 10.6.2 combo update yesterday, so maybe that has to do with it, but i was on 10.6.2 since it came out and this problem only started about a week ago. I was just thinking that maybe it has to do with the newer version of quicksilver that I installed. That's the only thing that I think i've changed recently. I'll try and pull the old version out of a time machine backup later. I just checked the console and couldn't find anything that looked "scary" but that doesn't really mean anything. Could you tell me what i'm supposed to be looking for?
    oh and @baltwo: it wasn't the forum formatting software that messed up your link, you added a - and then some other words directly after the link so it thought that those were part of the link as well. Well maybe it is the software, i dont know how you put the link into your post, but just don't attach words to your links. Leave a space or something.

Maybe you are looking for
