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.

  • 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...

  • 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.

    You will need to find a forum for MS Word since that is the software that you are trying to manipulate in this.  If you think the processing/creation of the PDF plays a role then you should ask in the forum for the software that you are using to create the PDF.
    This forum is for issue regarding downloading and installing Adobe trial products, so in any circumstance, your issue does not fit in this forum.

    It can't do that by itself. You had to click through several prompts telling it to restore it from a backup of an old phone for that to happen.
    If the phone was not backed up to iCloud before this happened, or to another computer, then the data is gone. There is no way to recover it.

  • HDV 1080i to Standard def DVD "Ken Stone" method- interlace problems, help!

    Greetings,
    I am on a tight deadline to produce a standard def DVD for an art exhibit, from HDV material that was imported and edited natively in FCP 7 as 1080i. I used the "Ken Stone" method of exporting the 10 minute sequence using QT conversion, as a pro res 422 HQ quicktime movie, then I took it into compressor 3.5 to make a Mpeg-2 file for a standard def DVD.
    The problem is that the video that came out of compressor, when simulated in DVD SP 3.5 (and also when burned on DVD) has weird "interlaced" looking edges whenever there is movement in the video. It is a figure against a black background, and whenever the figure moves back and forth against the black background, the edges of the figure show interlaced-looking lines. The rest of the video where there is slow movement looks fine. BTW, motion was set to "Best" in compressor.
    What am I doing wrong? was there something not mentioned in Stone's walk-thru, having to do with de-interlacing, or something I have missed? Is there a better way to produce a standard def DVD from HDV 1080i material?
    Thank you so much for your help. I am down to the wire on this one...
    AKJ

    exporting the 10 minute sequence using QT conversion, as a pro res 422 HQ quicktime movie...
    You are adding an unneeded compression cycle for a start. Export with QuickTime Conversion always recompresses your footage, even when you use the same settings as your Timeline.
    Export to QuickTime with Current Settings, Self Contained will give you a Master file that is identical to what you edited.
    weird "interlaced" looking edges whenever there is movement in the video...
    If your source material is interlaced it will look odd on a computer monitor. It will display correctly on a TV set.
    having to do with de-interlacing, or something I have missed?
    Deinterlacing will throw away half of the vertical resolution. Bye bye HD. No good can come of that, right?
    What is your intended delivery format? Does the method that you are currently using to view the material compare with how the end product will be seen?

  • I attempted to open iPhoto and got this message: you can't open the application because it may be damaged or incomplete. Now the iPhoto icon has a little line through it. Nice.

    I attempted to open iPhoto and got this message: you can't open the application because it may be damaged or incomplete. Now the iPhoto icon has a little line through it.
    Nice. Shall I say goodbye to my treasured iPhoto library? What happened?
    I did just upgrade my iPhone to OS 5. Could that be related somehow?
    Help!

    1. Back up your iPhoto Library - you should always have a back up anyway.
    Most Simple Back Up
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex:
    Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
    2. Reinstall
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Has there been any helpful remedy for the ghost typing issue?

    Has there been any helpful remedy for the ghost typing issue? Where the ipad starts typing on its own and screens moving around the screen?
    I have had the ipad 1 for a while- and it started about 5 months ago. Anything other than shutting down and leaving alone for hours work?

    Yeah, well if you read that whole thread you will see lots of posts identifying it as a hardware problem:
    I'm the original poster on this thread. I ended up taking my iPad back to the Apple Store. They ran some diagnostics, and found that my RAM was almost maxed out, which didn't really make sense. It indicated a faulty processor, so they gave me a new iPad. I took it home, synched, and it only took about 45 minutes to synch 30 gigs of data. My original iPad took about 5 hours to synch for the first time. Clearly there was a problem with the processor in the first one, but I didn't realize it at first, as it took several weeks before it started exhibiting the erratic screen behavior. Hope this helps anyone else who might experience this down the line.
    -merenvov
    So i went to my apple store... which was PACKED. Found a manager and explained my problem. Without any question, they simply replaced it. Awesome!
    -duncanwilcox
    I have the same problem, and I found out what's wrong, it's not the software - restart, restore and FW upgrade will not help, it's definitely hardware. The best option is to replace your iPad assuming you have an apple store nearby…
    -DarkDwarf
    Just get your iPad replaced. It has a hardware problem.
