Flickering video with correct field order? help!

On the moment I've got a long term running problem.
I've got a uncompressed 8bit quicktime movie, saved using the sheer video codec with adobe's premiere pro on a machine running windows.
I convert this file to a m2v file so I can import it in DVDSP and burn it on a DVD. When viewed on a CRT (tv) monitor, all movement 'flickers' awkward. This seemed to me a clear case of wrong interlacing. After checking this didn't seem to be the problem, field choice was correctly set to 'bottomfield', the right choice for PAL interlaced video.
My second thought was this could be a windows-mac misinterpretation of some kind. Therefore I encoded the sheer uncompressed file another time to a uncompressed file using compressor, and then compressed it to a mpeg2 file. This didn't help; the video was still flickering on TV.
I thought, in this case, compressor somehow wasn't able to make it bottomfield, so I started trying all kinds of combinations and software to get the stuff lower field.
Two things helped. The first was to de-interlace the material in compressor, but this isn't the nicest option when your base-material is interlaced.
The second was to import the uncompressed sheer file into Adobe's After Effects (interpret as: lower field interlaced) and exporting it as uncompressed progressive; compressing this file to mpeg 2 (interlaced: lower field) using compressor solved the problem. hurrah!
But then another problem arose..
When interpreting the material as lower field in AE, the titles at the end of the movie turned really ugly, like a mouse had bitten small bits out of them..
This didn't occur when the material is interpreted as progressive, but when this is rendered to a 8bit uncompressed quicktime file, and then compressed to mpeg2 using compressor the movement flickering turns up again on CRT monitors.
The (base)material is full of strokes when viewed in Quicktime and filmed using a Betacam SP camera PAL, so it can't be progressive.
Is there another explanation for the flickering except from wrong interlacing?
So yes, How do I solve this? (with compressor)
So no, How can it that the flickering still occurs even when I export on fields: lower with compressor?
I hope that someone can help me cause it's really eating my nerves now..
(ps I hope that I didn't make to much faults in my english..)

Vikram - I had carried out that process.
Srinivas - My problem is in the field of purchase order value where i am getting double the value 4000 in the place of 2000 in INR. As my client is INDIAN client he has a transaction in USD ones for which it is showing 250 in the place of 250 USD( no changes for this) in SAP R/3 side when i check my data source 2LIS_02_SCL in RSA3.

Totally confused about mixing videos with different field orders.

I have PPcs5 on the pc.
I edit for many different shooters. As such I get everything: Progressive, upper field , lower field . Not to mention from a zillion different cameras & different resolutions.
I output 95% so far to dvd ntsc, 5% BR.
I get dv tapes on some & HD files also.Many times I get a mixure of both on each job. Also Iphone HD files too. Going crazy trying to fiquer out how to set up my sequence when I have upper field or progressive by themselves & also when they are mixed with lower field dv foot...Do I force everything into a lower field seq if going to dvd?
Do I have to deinterlace anything?
If I drag a clip to the new "create seq" icon, it will match the clips properties but is that correct if its a progressive only project or an Upper field project going out to dvd ntsc?
Do I need to RT click on the clips in the project window & "interpet Footage" & force it into a lower field there 1st? Is there a difference between setting up a seq to be played on a progressive DVD player hdmi to a prog TV as apposed to setting up a seq for a non hdmi or non progressive tv?
Does outputting to dvd automatically force it to lower field ?
If my seq isnt set up correctly I notice a big interlace problem when the cams pan from side to side, especially when there are multiple cams with different field orders. Have been unable to find any good discussions or articles on the topic.
How do you guys do it without going crazzzzzzzy?Are there rules? What are the rules? A rule book would really help:-) I Yern for the old DVCAM/DV days:-)

DV is always lower and HD is upper or progressive.
As you are having all fields in one timeline i would make it progressive.
Premiere does a good job in deinterlacing.
Only use Interprete footage when the footage is interprete wrong.
Set up a progressive timeline and drop everything in it. If a clip does not behave correctly you can change fields in the Field Options.
Export from Premiere and import into Encore. That is what i would do......

Need to setup Premiere CS6 sequence for two file types with different field orders

I have a client who has shot video for me using two cameras, one camera was set to progressive, and the other to interlaced upper field first. I need to use both file types in the edit and have been struggling to set up the sequence to get the best look for the end product, a DVD. I have several videos to do for her that were all shot in the same way, so I need a solution!
I would appreciate help figuring out how to set up this work flow from beginning to end.
Should I convert one of the files from the beginning so they match field orders before going into a sequence? Or do I just need to do some adjusting of the files once they are in the sequence? Is it just as simple as changing the transcode settings to favor the upper field first? I'm definitely having issues once the video is transcoded in Encore and you can see a lot of jagged edges and lines especially during movement. My client isn't happy and I've tried several workarounds, but to no avail.
Here are the two file types I have:
File extension: .MOV
H.264, 1920x1080, Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 48000 Hz, stereo
FPS 29.97
No Fields: Progressive Scan
File extension: .MTS (my Mac finder can't read these files, but they are read in Premiere)
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Frame Rate: 29.97
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - 6 channels
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
Upper Field First
I am using Adobe Premiere CS 6.0.2
Encore 6.0.1
Media Encoder 6.0.2.81
I am running it on an iMac 27-inch, Mid 2011
with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
Processor 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB
I've just been setting the sequence to match the .MOV files since they look much better than the .MTS files. I've done the opposite as well, setting the sequence to match the .MTS files and it doesn't seem to help. I've also changed the field order of the files once they are in the sequence by changing the field options and have tried converting the .MTS files in the Media Encoder, but nothing I've done has worked.
Any help would be so appreciated! The client I have is a photographer, so she wasn't aware of this issue when she first shot these videos. So I have 10 videos with these issues I need to get back to her, hopefully issue free! I'm struggling as an editor because my last job I was using FCP and was working with videographers who knew what they were doing, so I've never faced such problems before. Plus I'm new to the Adobe software. Not a good combination. Please forgive me if I didn't give all the information you need. I will happily respond with whatever more information you may need to help me out!

I wonder if you could do your edit ignoring any visual issues of the interlaced footage but keeping the different sources separate ( checkerboard edit Vid 1/ Vid 2 )
Lock it down then export the interlaced part of the edit as a Digital Intermediate.
Maybe Export the other source as well to the same codec. DI
Bring them back together in a New Sequence. You wold have to deal with the black spacing.

Subform with table with expanding fields - please help!

I am a new user of LiveCycle Designer ES and need help with a form. I've made so many changes within the form that I have now lost track and don't know where to start to fix the following two issues:
The form itself is one Master Page that needs to repeat, based on the amount of data entered. This is not happening.
Within the form is a Table with expanding fields. It is when the last field is full that I need a new page created.Also, as the table expands, it overwrites the Footer, which is a subform. The footer is set to have a top margin (.25).
Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Looks like a cross post. see other thread here...

Importing video with correct date

I'm having issue importing videos into iphoto with the original date of the video. I'm importing from a canon vixia HFS10, when i tried it a month or so back it went into iphoto correctly, with the original date but now whenever i try it, even with the same videos that worked date wise before, it only imports into iphoto with the date that i actually imported it with.
Any ideas?
I know you can alter the date via the edit options, but this seems a bit backward when i know, somehow, that i can import the video automactially with the date.

i only imported the videos from the same camera, one time they went with the date it was taken, the other time i tried a couple of weeks later it only imported with the date of import so it's not the camera

Flickering video with Warp stabilizer

Hi all,
I have a problem what more of you maybe have seen the past month, the flickering with warp stabilizer.
Now i already changed the renderer setting in project settings into Mercury Playback Engine to Software Only, but this didn't solve the problem.
My specs:
Macbookpro 15 inch retina end 2013,
2,3 ghz i7
16 gb ram
nvidia GT750M 2gb
OSX 10.9.5
Will update to Yosemite solve it or not?

Hi Dave
I solved my problem with the next 2 things:
- changed the renderer setting in project settings into "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only
- changed the renderer setting in media encoder into "Mercury playback engine software only
Hope this will solve your problem to.

Field order issue with Avid codec

Is there some way of setting the field order of the source for Encore DVD 2. Given the problems I experienced with ProCoder I decided to encode a project using the inbuilt Main Concept encoder.
On the interpret footage menu I can correctly set the aspect ratio but not the field order.
Unfortunately Quicktime does not seem to be passing on the correct field order to the Main Concept encoder everytime.
I have had one encode using a preset I created that worked perfectly - I then copied that preset and added a crop and scale to get rid of some VIT (out of essential but viewable on the customers replay system) and everything was field muddled.
I can see how you can set the output field order but no way of setting the source field order. Transcoding on automatic had the same jumbled field effect.
BTW these were full Quicktimes not refs

Probably - although it is such a small re-scale, that if the scaling algorithm is even half-way decent the result should be fine. This is Digibeta originated footage.. in fact the result when I re-worked this in ProCoder was excellent.
I just wanted to avoid having to place a mask over 8 different sequences amounting to 50 minutes in length, as anything you then export would result in a full render (even though the Avid would play it in real time).
I guess I'll have to seriously look at my workflow - everything used to just work beautifully - Avid PAL codecs all UFF except for AvidDV LFF; now I keep getting a weird progressive looking result with the new Avid 1:1 10bit codec even though the source is interlaced UFF and recently I rendered an Avid DV export with all settings correct (Source LFF Target UFF) and it ended up jumbled. I had to deliberately set the source to UFF. I do think the culprit is QT 7 as all these problems seem to have started from the switchover from QT6+, but I'm not certain.

Field Order When Capturing

Hi all,
I have a slight issue when capturing in Premiere Pro CC. I am capturing NTSC footage from a VHS via the Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle for Thunderbolt. The capture process goes smoothly, in general. However, I have a slight issue with the field order.
When I capture the video through Blackmagic Media Express, the video captures lower field first, which should be correct, right? But when I capture in Premiere Pro, it captures as upper field first.
I have checked my capture settings within PP - it's setup for Blackmagic capturing. I'm capturing NTSC 4x3 at uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2, which is the same that the Blackmagic software is capturing at. I cannot find an option for field order. I know that I can reinterpret the footage, but I prefer to capture correctly.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks in advance.

Gotcha. The catch, for me at least, is that any videos I capture through Premiere will not play back on my NTSC monitor through my blackmagic device when played in Premiere. However, if I import footage captured in Blackmagic and drop that in a sequence, it plays back through the NTSC monitor fine.
Oh well,
Thanks for the help!
PS - Are you saying I should leave it as upper field first, rather than reinterpret to lower first?

Field order errors from Color

I onlined a job recently that had been done in 10-bit uncompressed (PAL). The final edit an hour-long documentary) had been sent to Color for grading, and I was picking up the job to finalise it (adding captions, titles etc. the usual stuff).
The colourist had rendered the clips, but hadn't sent them back to FCP. When I opened the projects in Color it had lost the reference to the rendered files, so I couldn't send them to FCP, so I imported the folders containing the rendered clips into FCP, and layed them back into the final edit as a new layer.
All ok so far.
When I came to play the clips, they were flickering as if they had the wrong field structure, and I had to add a shift fields filter to make them correct. The original clips, the rendered clips from Color and the sequence were all set to 10-bit uncompressed, upper field, so I'm perplexed as to why I had to do this.
I checked Color and it's set to render out in the original format.
I had to render the entire timeline because of the shift field filter, which took 3 hours! Can anyone shed some light on the problem and a solution to prevent it happening again?
I've posted this in the Color forum as well.
Cheers
Steve

I've encountered an issue similar to this with NTSC DV coming back with reversed field order. It may just be in the nature of COLOR to assume that all media is odd/upper HD. You used to be able to buy Final Touch in three variants: SD, HD and 2K. They were individually built to make the field dominance issues moot, but now that there is only "COLOR", there may still be a few old prejudices lingering. This app does not do well with interlace, and a giant problem with it is only a flick of the wrist away.
It was probably not a good idea to render the media out of COLOR without creating a new FCP sequence.

Exporting settings for H.264 "Field order & TV standart & Profile"?

So, in premiere CC, when exporting to H.264 format. There is these options in the video tab.
Field order & TV standart & Profile
I have 2 questions
What do they change in your video? and does it matter in this day & age?
(I know there the "leave mouse cursor on top of it, get yellow explaining box" but's its technical ciberish to me)

If working with 1080i, then Field Order does matter, and should be set to UPPER.
For 1080p or 720p, then of course it should be set to PROGRESSIVE.
You are correct that "NTSC or PAL" should not really apply when discussing HD formats, for the simple reason that NTSC and PAL refer specifically to standard definition broadcast standards. However, the terms have morphed into being used to differentiate between the NTSC and PAL framerates, being 29.97 and 25 respectively, which does still apply to HD formats.
As for the Profile setting, that depends on the mode of delivery, whether YouTube or Blu-ray or mobile device or whatever. I don't know of any general rule applying in that area. I just use Presets appropriate to my needs and leave the Profile as is, since the Adobe engineers ought to know the best setting for any given preset.

Why is the Video Filter "Shift Fields" Automatically being added to my clips?

In the timeline, I've been noticing that FCP is randomly adding the "Shift Field" video filter to about 75% of all my clips in the timeline.
Is this common?

I noticed that this Shift Field filter is going crazy if you copy footage from a sequence to another with different Field orders.
I don't think in my case FCP has ever wrongly applied the filter when I just was editing from the Viewer to the Canvas. Only when copying footage from sequence to sequence, I discoverd problems.
By the way. You can select all the 'faulty' clips and choose Conform to Sequence from the menu, and al should be right...
Rienk
Good points, all. Thanks for your contribution, Rienk.
"Conform to Sequence" is a function I have never used, did not know it even existed, thanks for that, too.

Windows 7: Flickering Video

I'm assuming this is a video driver problem, but when playing simple games I'm guessing using a 3D Accelerator, the dynamic images flicker. Is this is driver issue? How can I fix this? Can I just download a straight brand new driver off Nvidia for Windows 7?

I have the Flickering Video with Windows also. Windows often does that. I've never found a fix.

Field order on DVD Video disk projects - cannot output ".VOB" with upper field first,,

Can anyone help ? - in Australia most DVD players (PAL) display the best video image in terms of picture quality and motion smoothness when the "VOB" files created on the DVD Video disk (for PAL), are Upper field first. I can only get "VOB" files with Lower field first from Premiere Elements 9.0.
I have spent many hours experimenting, and then 90 minutes talking to Adobe support who were very helpful - but unable to resolve the issue.
My Premiere Elements 9.0 has been updated to 9.0.1, but I am still unable to obtain VOB's with Upper field first. The resultant DVD's are not easy to watch.
(MPEG files can be created with Upper field first from the "Advanced" button - but there is no Advanced button on the Blu Ray/DVD option in the "Share" tab.)
Thanking you, Dave.

Hi Steve, Yes - the output VOB's are lower field first, this can be observed
as "fuzzy" picures when playing the resultant DVD on a DVD player - the
motion is slightly jerky as well making for a video that is rather hard to
watch for too long - like trying to read without glasses (if you need them).
The input files are 720x576 16:9 PAL - Upper field first.
I have verified that the output VOB's are lower field first, using other PC
based video players and viewing the "properties" of the file.
Also, after spending about 90 minutes on the phone to Adobe support, and
exhausting all possible variations of project settings with them - they
confirmed the VOB's are output as lower field first in PAL format and were
of the opinion that one could not output PAL Upper field first VOB's using
Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1.,
This is rather disappointing as from what I understand the Australian
standard is PAL Upper field first (720x576) 25fps. They suggested that I put
in a submission to the "Wish List", which I have done - no response yet.
Thanks, Dave.

Need help with coding for HTML5 Video with Flash fallback

Hello, need help with my coding in Dreamweaver CS5.5 for HTML5 video with Flash fallback. Not sure if the coding is correct. Do I need anything else Javascipt etc?

The reason you see a blank page is because it's trying to load the file that is pretty humungous and there is no preloader. So, you see a white screen till it complets loading.
Also, the reason why its loading a SWF file and not any of HTML5 type video is because your doctype declaration is XHTML1.0 and not HTML5.
Change the 1st line in your .html file from:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
to:
<!DOCTYPE html>
Then see if your HTML5 video types load with <video> tag.
