Ghosting Problem on Interlaced Frames?

I've tried exporting to M2V through both Compressor 2 and using DVD Studio Pro's own embedded M2V encoding. The output is the same.
The ghosting does not appear in Final Cut Pro (the interlacing is visible on computer monitor, you can see the lines and such) - but after being encoded to M2V - and output to DVD, this is the image you get if you pause the frame on TV in certain spots. It's not really visible when in motion, only paused on moving frames.

The material is being pulled from a Digibeta (and some from a Beta SP). Both seem to come up with this problem. We're pulling it SDI through a KonaLH capture card at 10-bit, uncompressed. I've tried outputting it with various different bit-rate settings - and have tried many of the presets - the result is the same --- changing the field order doesn't seem to help either.

That sure makes it sound like pulldown error (like
showing a field ahead when it shouldn't)... but if
you don't see this externally on a video monitor
before you encode to MPEG, it's probably something
else? You captured this at 29.97 right? i.e. didn't
remove any pulldown during or after capture? and
you're set to upper or lower field?
Also got the latest drivers for the AJA card? might
just reinstall them too.

The images above are how things look on the Television.
On the monitor, the interlacing is all I can see. Here are some screenshots of the M2V (the same encoded file that displays the ghosting on an NTSC TV) --- this was taken by playing the file in QuickTime and using grab. I took 3 shots for a sequence of 3 consecutive frames of movement:

We captured the video at 525i - 10-bit uncompressed (probably unnecessary) - 29.97 frame. It pulled the video in at 720x486 (to meet with the scanlines on the Digibeta) - and then when encoding to M2V, we cropped off 6 lines to make it 720x480 --- and set field order to lower (bottom).
I'll try checking for new drivers for our capture card.

  • Interlaced frames after using Apple directions for Canon HV30 24p

    I have an Canon HV30 HDV video camera and clips that have been recorded using its 24p mode. I'm using the instruction Apple has given to remedy this type of footage in Compressor and output to Pro Res:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2410?viewlocale=en_US
    I've tried this method a couple of times and carefully also. Everything seems to work well other than the fact that I am getting interlaced frames on the last one or two frames of each clip. Sometimes it's the beginning of the clips. As they are supposed to, clips are changing to 24p and when I step through a clip frame by frame everything looks fine, except for those last couple frames. Other methods, like using JES Deinterlacer, do not produce these distorted interlaced frames. However I would prefer to use Compressor. Could it be that I changed some setting or preference in Compressor a while back that is affecting these clips right now?
    Please help!
    Once again, using Final Cut Studio 2 and a Canon HV30 with 24p clips.

    Hello,
    I experienced the same thing. But I feel that the first second or two of any clip is not useable, when
    editing I have never needed every last frame.
    This is not much of a help to you. I think it has to do with the mysteries of HDV, Long GOP, and 2 t0 3 pulldown and the complex post processing that must happen to yield 24 full frames.
    Good luck, Tom

  • Problems with dropped frames in FCP 4.5 Log & Capture

    Thanks for the advice on my previous post regarding sound problems - those are now sorted, but I am having problems with dropped frames in Log and Capture. I am using FCP 4.5 with OS X 10.4.10 on a Powermac G4. CPU 867 mhz dual processor. L2 Cache 256 kb, L3 cache 1 mb. Memory 1g. Bus speed 133hz. I am capturing from a Canon XM1 via Firewire. The scratch disk is a 500gb Seagate FreeAgent USB 2.0, 7200rpm.
    Basically, the video and audio are fine while playing back in Log and Capture and I can control the device, but any attempt to capture, whether Capture Now or Clip result in a very jerky picture and aborts with dropped frames after a few seconds. The sound is ok for the few seconds before it aborts. There do not appear to be any problems with the timecode.
    My capture preset is DV Pal 48hz.
    Any advice or pointers gratefully received.
    Thanks, Ally

    Well quite. I have just tried it in the internal hard drive and it works fine now. I am going to have to capture everything to my small hard drive and move it across to the external. Then, when I have finished I am going to bang my head against the wall and buy an external HDD with Firewire.
    Thanks,
    Ally

  • Ghosting Problem

    Hi, i purchased an iMac from Apple's official distributor in Turkey, "Bilkom", at 24 March 2013. After two months I noticed a ghosting problem in my iMac and took it to "Artı Teknik Servis" for technical support. The technical servise confirmed the problem, yet refused to change my iMac and instead offered basically the replacement of the related part. Their arguement is I had to apply them within 1 month's time for change but I found out that the time for such hidden defects is two years, not 1 month. I had to take my iMac back, no problem solved. It was quite unprofessional for such a company, being the main distributor of Apple in Turkey. I hope you can provide support for my problem.
    Thank you.   

    We are fellow users on these discussions and not Apple staff.  There is a knowledge base article on screen burn-in/ghosting/image retention found at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5455 and you can also find Apple support contact numbers to call at http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 to seek further local help with this matter.

  • Ghosting Problem Apple not replacing the laptop, only repairing it.

    I am a student and shelled in $ 2500 in August 2012 for my costliest investment ever. and now I have bad ghosting problems with the display and its really diffcult for me to work with this machine. I went to the apple store and they understood the problem and were ready to repair it under warranty. But isn't that not fair and should they not be swapping the entire machine ? I know that Macbook Pro Retina 15 inch has zero repairability and why would would I want them to open my Macbook to a repair after investing $ 2500. I really think apple needs to take this seriously and owe up to their mistake and swap machines ! I will never buy another Apple product again otherwise and I will never recommend apple to anyone else other wise at all. Guy's do you have any idea how to get the Laptop repaired and not repaired ? Please help !

    I get it and I would feel the same way, but unless you can talk the store manager into doing that or go above their head to corporate relations and complain until you get the system swapped, but written warranty standards, they are allowed to fix a problem a maximum of 3 times (for the same problem) before they'll even consider swapping out the entire unit.  Bottom line, the LCD panel in the unit is most likely a pos LG unit and they'll swap it with one that's not from LG.  When that happens, all things should be good as new, but the remaining issue is how well a job the Apple store people do in doing this replacement.  If it's factory prestine and you can't tell a different, then it's fine, and really no different than if you were to buy a refurbished model, but if they do a crappy job, then I agree with you... why should you be out the "quality" aspect of the investment of $2500 when they made a crappy decision and used inferior parts from a manufacturer who they're currently not suing. lol
    Again, if you want to raise ****, call corporate relations and voice your case.  Maybe they do what you want and keep you as a customer or they call your bluff and say that they'll fix it under warranty or you can take it or leave it.  In the end, one less customer for them isn't going to break their bank... this is how they view it really.

  • Problems with still frames blurring in Final Cut Express....

    I have had problems with still frames blurring. I've discovered it's related to the green line above the time line on the sequence bar. I can't find the name of the bar but it's red if you need rendering. There are green lines and when the scrubber hits the line the frame goes blurry.
    I'm guessing it's related to another previous attempt at adding motion to the still. My question, I think, is how to eliminate the green lines to the regular blue?
    jb

    If there are any colored bars above your video other than the normal grey/light blue then you need to render the sequence out by hitting Option-R.

  • HDV exports cause overlayed interlaced frames

    Recently we've started shooting with a Canon XH A1 in 1080/50i. We capture as HDV and the footage looks stunning in FCP. But when we export (tried various formats and codecs) the resulting movie have every frame being a combination of its two interlaced frames - not sure if thats the right way to describe it, but the following still shows it pretty well.
    http://www.fatsand.com/videos/DoubleFrames_Test_v1still.jpg
    The following video shows it too. THe first half is a clip exported normally, the second half is the same clip but de-interlaced in FCP - which works fine.
    http://www.fatsand.com/videos/DoubleFrames_Testv1.mov
    But I don't want to have to de-interlace all my footage, otherwise I might as well have shot in 25p!
    Anyone else have this issue - I can't see what else I can do in FCP, but should I be doing something else during capture or even when filming?
    Thanks

  • DVCpro50 shot at 23.98 interlace problems every fifth frame ... help

    I have footage shot on DVCpro50 with the SDX900 Panasonic camera at 23.98 frame rate and I have captured it with the AJ-SD93 Panasonic deck through the built in Firewire cable to my G5 dual 2,7 ghz sysem with a Lacie Porsche 250 gb drive.
    I captured using a custom capture preset that I made using the DVCpro 50 NTSC compressor at 720x480, setting frame rate to 23.97 (initially and then tried 29.97 later) and checked Anamorphic as well (footage is 16x9).
    The problem is that on playback the image appears to be tearing, especially on all movement. This happens when watching in Viewer and in a sequence (set to match the clips capture settings). When I step through the image frame by frame it is clearly every fourth frame which gets jaggy and the edges of moving objects seperate and "tear" and then it is fine on the next frame. This appears on both my computer monitor and on my NTSC monitor.
    I assumed that meant it was a pulldown issue and tried adjusting the pulldown settings in the playback control to no avail.
    I have done a lot of reading on this discussion board as well as much experimentation with different capture presets and have found only a very slight difference between capturing the footage at 23.97 or at 29.97. It looks slightly better at 29.97 but the problem is still there.
    When I go to the desktop level and look at the quicktime files with the quicktime player they look fine. IE no tearing and smooth playback. When I step through the image with the qtime player every fourth frame is a repeated frame which is also what I see when I look at the master tape frame by frame with the AJ-SD93 deck cabled directly to a NTSC monitor. This I assume is the pulldown on the tape created by the camera when recording 23.97 video rate to the 29.97 tape.
    So then I decided I would take the footage at 29.97 with the repeated pulldown frames since that looks fine on both the tape and the qucktime files BUT when I captured at 29.97 it played back once showing a "clean" image - no tears, the fourth frame a repeated frame BUT then when I played a second time it switched and began displaying the fifth frame as a "tear" again.
    So then I thought this is simply a playback issue and if I edit to tape on the AJ-SD93 it will "pullup" the image and fix the problem as it goes back to tape BUT NO. The tearing was worse when I layed it back to tape.
    SO what is happening? Can anyone out there help?
    My preference is to capture at 23.97FPS DCVpro50 NTSC anamorphic and be able to play back with out any tearing.
    Is this possible?

    you should try capturing as regular run of mill video. launch cinema tools, import the video file, remove the telecine and then import the .rev file into fcp.
    i'm assuming the sdx900 is writing the video at 29.97fps interlaced. changing the frame rate of the capture compressor is mucking up your workflow. try cinema tools, see what happens.

  • Ghosting problem when animating an image

    I have written an animated GUI for a program a wrote a little while ago, just to make it a little bit more fancy, however I am having a few setbacks with the animation.
    I have a JFrame, which is divided into 3 main JPanels each having a custom animation. The code compiles and runs, but I get some strange results for the first 10 - 15 seconds of the program starting. I get what I can only describe as ghost animations popping up in all the wrong places, however after a few seconds they disappear one by one, leaving just the required animations all doing there thing quite happily.
    Has any one got any ideas what is going on and how I can resolve this problem please?? Below is some of my code so you can see how I make the images animated, if you require more I'll post the rest on request.
    Thanks in advance Kris Dowse
    public void run()
    while ( AnimateSCA )
    try
    iAnimateSCA = getToolkit().getImage( "C:/SetComputerAttributes/Images/SetComputerAttributes" + CurrentImage + ".gif" );
    mtAnimateSCA.waitForID(0);
    catch ( Exception e )
    if ( CurrentImage == 40 )
    CurrentImage = 1;
    else
    CurrentImage += 1;
    repaint();
    requestSleep();
    public void paint( Graphics g )
    g.drawImage ( iAnimateSCA, 0, 0, this);
    public void requestSleep()
    try
    tAnimateSCA.sleep( DelayTime );
    catch( Exception e )
    P.S. Can you assign dukes from a topic that got new replys onto this one?

    I have tried changing the method name from paint() to paintComponent() but it doesn't seem to have made any difference.
    The result I get is the main animation panel shows a copy of the main frame for around two seconds, then the first animation image is loaded over the top.
    Then in the top corner of the main animation panel the secondary animation loads. It stays there as well as were it should be for around ten seconds. During this period the main animation is very jerky.
    After a period of around 10 seconds all the anomalies disappear the program runs, as it should.
    Further assistance would be greatly received.
    I have put a similar post on the 'Java Programming' forum today as well, and it has 5 dukes assigned so if you would rather reply there, I will at least be able to reward your help,
    Thanks Kris

  • Ghosting Problem in HD project (shot with Sony HDW-F900)

    Hi, I'm having a problem with 'ghosting,' at least I think that's the word for it. Essentially when there is motion in the frame, I see the previous frame sort of 'on top of it,' resulting in 'motion trails.' Can anyone suggest how to fix this?
    Here are my settings...project was shot with Sony HDW-F900 HDCAM 24p
    720x480 NTSC DV
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: NTSC CCIR 601 / DV 720x480
    Frame Rate 23.98
    Compessor: DVCPRO HD 1080i60
    Render all YUV material in high-precision YUV
    Process Maximum White as: White
    Motion Filtering Quality: Best
    Filters, Frame Blending for Speed, and Motion Blur are checked
    Any help would be great...thanks!
    G5 Quad   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    when you capture hdcam shot at 23.98 you need to come in HDSDI and the deck set to 23.98. If you have the deck set to 23.98PD you'll be getting 29.97 tc down the 422 control not 23.98. If you use the PD setting and the dvcproHD 1080i60 you get footage with pulldown, the cadence being set by the 24 frame, 30 frame, options in the menus of the deck. these should be set so evry second on the second the time code matches. Sony actually uses 23.98 timecode in 1080Psf. Your rental house should be able to provide a workflow for you. My guess is the ghosting is not ghosting but interfield motion, now that you are not in a progressive format.

  • Hdr-hc3 problems! Interlace? PAL to NTSC

    Hello. I am having problems editing a video shot in Sony hdr-hc3 PAL version. I captured in hdv and edited. In the timeline I put 25 frames per second. 1440 x 1080. 16x9... Compression HDV 1080i50
    Well, I exported everything. Export/Current Settings. Then I burnt a dvd with dvd studio pro and when I look the video in the TV it looks really really interlaced. Everytime there is movement, the image looks double. Well, I have tried with after effects to remove the pull down but it's not useful. It seems it's not really a interlace problem because when I say to guess pulldown... it doesn't appear anything. I also tried with cinema tools... i did the reverse telecine... but doesnt work... or at least i dont have any idea what i have to do...
    I also tried with compressor but the same problem... I dont know if I have to do something in final cut, after i export from final cut... or what i have to do with this problem. The motion looks horrible. HELP PLEASE!
    Thanks a lot!

    As a last resort (in case you are stuck which is a common fate of most users when dealing with this horrible legacy of NTSC frame rates) you have a simple solution that will produce flawless, no hiccups conversion from PAL to NTSC. You will need sufficient space, patience and willingness to accept 4% change in pitch.
    a) edit your footage in 25 progressive. Export it as image sequence. Export audio separately.
    b) In QTP import image sequence to NTSC frame rate 23.976. Add your audio (SCALED) to your movie.
    c) Import your movie to 23.976 FCP sequence.
    d) export it NTSC mpg2, which will add standard pulldown to bring it to 29.97.
    (all this can presumably be done in FCP, if only one could figure out how!)
    (Note to Apple.Please kindly note that 24 is not 23.98 nor it is 23.976, Your documentation is all over the place with no rhyme or reason. 24 can mean (FTC, QT) 24 or 23.976. Strangely 23.98 seems to be always used to denote 23.976. This is not nice nor professional and is awfully confusing)

    I have just recently gone from QT Pro 6.5.2 to QT Pro 7, mainly because of the HD support.
    I have a dual boot system with QT 7 on Windows 2000, and QT 6 on Windows 98SE.
    I am having problems playing uncompressed AVI files in the QT 7 player, apparently if the frame size is large (in the example case 688 x 516).
    Sometimes I just get "error 108 unknown error" pop up when I try to load the file. Sometimes the file loads but will not play except in short bursts of movement every now and again as it moves along the timeline. Sometimes the file plays, but with one or more broad black lines across the image!
    All the problem files play perfectly in QT 6.5.2, but will not play in QT 7, which should surely play them better, not worse!
    Can anyone make any suggestion as to what's happening?
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled QT 7, which made no difference. I'm sure I don't need any extra codecs, as QT has always played RAW AVIs without anything extra before.
    Thanks in anticipation, Dave.

  • Problem with text frame dropshadow not completely printing to pdf file.

    Hi and thanks for your speedy replies!
    I am editing a file that had altered corner text frames with a .25 inset and a drop shadow added, .05 stroke and paper swatch. When I deleted text everything shifted so I had to recreate the special frames on select pages. These new text frames are not showing the top and left sides of the frames when saved to pdf file. The right and bottom drop shadow are showing.  What am I missing?
    Cheers!

    I am using the latest version in CC. I tried several exports directly from ID, PDF/X-3:2002, PDF/X-1a:2001 and the low res setting, all with no changes.  None showed the left or top border on the frames in question.
    So I was getting the first screen shot instead of the second which other similarly formatted frames showed.  I checked every setting I could find and they were all the same.  The problem just occurred after the point in the doc that I had made changes resulting in some pages being deleted and the page formatting being thrown off which I corrected with the appropriate saved page formats.  But when I went to set up the frame dropshadow and accompanying stroke and swatches, the outline just would not show in the pdf although it appeared to be showing in ID.
    I've since discovered a work around for the editing so no pages were deleted, but I need to figure out why this happened and what I am not seeing. Perhaps a setting to show the border? Or maybe it is some overall setting that I need to be looking for? Just weird, weird, weird...

  • After Effects CC 2014 problem: Image from frame from the last Premiere CC-After Effects link permanently burned into new project compositions.

    One frame from one of the clips I sent from Premiere to After Effects through "replace with After Effects composition" was permanently burned in After Effects and now it appears in every new composition of every new project I create as the background of such composition. 
    For example, I sent from Premiere a clip of a building to After Effects for color correction with Finesse, and warp stabilization and then after rendering, finishing, and closing all the applications, now, every time I open After Effects for any other project, whether already-created or brand-new, every existing or newly created composition (in a Mac Command N) you see the image of the building as the background of the composition.  If you create a new composition, while it remains empty of any layers, you see the image of the building.  If you have an already-created composition with layers, when you turn off all the eyes of the layers, you would expect to see black (nothing) in the composition window (if that's the color you assigned to be as the background of the comp), but instead you see the building.  If you change the color of the comp's background in Composition Settings, you still see the building as the background.  If you render such empty composition (no layers) you render out the image of the building, not black.  I tried clicking everywhere and going through the preferences, and even uninstalling the application and re-installing it, but it seems to be permanently burned in into every comp's background.
    Please, any ideas of what's going on and how to get rid of it?
    Thanks so much for your help,
    RR.

    Thanks so much Dave.  It fixed the problem.
