Interlace problem with fast pans, camera moves... any advice?
Hello: I have a video project, edited in FCP (from SD DVCAM tape source). I exported as a standard 4:3 Quicktime movie, and then encoded as H264 video using the multipass 3ivx codec in Cleaner.
I now get a blurred horizontal line on camera pans. The blur appears as a broken line on the lower third of the picture.
Should I not tick the "Adaptive" box?
I have tried using the de-interlace Eliminate Top Field and the Interlace Auto settings. In both cases I ticked the adaptive box. In both cases I still get a blurred broken line in the lower third area of the video on camera pans.
I tried a third experiment using DVFilmMaker. I set it up to de-interlace only on movement, and to blur horizontal lines on Motion (thinking this might help to at least give a more natural look to the picture break-up I was already getting).
Alas, no improvement.
Yes, if I had a time-machine and extra bucks I would have shot Progressive... but I didn't... so I'm trying to get the best out of what I have.
Any thoughts... anyone?
Thanks

Thanks for the info. Just for the record, I have tried all these things too in Compressor, QTPro, Cleaner and DVFilmMaker. I get the same problem with all (a blurred line on fast camera pans)
My preference for Cleaner (and it's only my opinion) is that it has a more intuitive user interface for correcting gamma, color, image size, bit-rate, without having to search or go to multiple menus. You also see the video as it encodes and visually check any problems with gamma, etc. You can also do a visual before/after check. I guess it's the devil I'm used to.
Thanks for all the info re. alternatives to Cleaner... but it's not really addressing my original (and existing) problem.
Thanks

Interlace problems with zooms/pans on stills
We are working on a simple slide show with still images. There is a wavering quality to the images as they zoom or pan across the screen. It creates a kind of moray effect that is unpleasant. The movie is going to be projected onto a large screen so it will look even worse. I can't seem to find a way to de-interlace the images except in photoshop. Is that my only option or is there some way to turn off interlace in imovie?

That seems to indicate that you used the Ken Burns effect to pan/zoom the images, right? If yes, then you should not be a victim of the nasty old iMovie 3-5 bug Sue provided a link to.
IMO Photo To Movie's high quality setting renders better quality Ken Burns than, erm, iMovie's Ken Burns effect. Maybe the wavering is caused by suboptimal subpixel rendering in iMovie? (wow, that was a great sentence -
I have a problem with my 4s camera which has come up recently. Everytime I take a picture and look it up via the 'Photos' app, it shows as blank. But when I click on edit on the blank picture, it comes up and I am able to save it back on my photo album as a proper image. Besides, I have also experiences the camera working a bit wiered (slow and often blanks out the moment I am ready to take a photo). Any help on this pls?
Hi Noob Søren
There are a few things that are confusing in your question.
As far as I know, you dont have to install Time Machine on this OS as it is already installed for you. You only need to connect a hard drive to your computer via firewire or usb, click on the Time Machine icon, Open Time Machine Preference in the drop down menu and select a disk: your connected hard drive.
You can of course reformat this connected device, partition it into a few volumes to organise data if you so wish.
I find it strange that your mac's hard drive is divided into two volumes... perhaps this was created through bootcamp?
You can access the configuration of your hd through Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
Clicking on one of the icons on the right hand panel will bring the details of the contents of your hardDrive and volumes. From there you can decide to erase a partition, reformat etc....
If your hd contains more than one volume, and one of them is empty, you could decide to remove it. Back up all your important data before doing so.
Hope this helps

I downloaded an HD movie onto my laptop from i-tunes. It plays fine on my laptop, but when I plug in my HD projector, the movie quits. When I unplug the projector, the movie starts again. I have never had a problem with projecting an itunes movie before this. Someone told me that i-tunes changed something so that movies can no longer be projected. We have a home theatre and have watched movies this way quite regularly, so it would be a drag if Apple will prevent us from doing this in the future.
I don’t know about projection, but I’m unable to watch HD content in iTunes because my Apple 30-inch Cinema Display is not HDCP-compliant (which is part of an HD copy-protection scheme).
The other movies you’ve projected, were they HD as well? If not, it could be the same problem: your projector is not HDCP-compliant. -
I recently upgraded from an 80 to 160GB Classic but only some of the artwork in iTunes is synching. There was no problem with the old 80Gb classic. any suggestions?
here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock. -

Problem with the back camera in iPhone 4 (Black Shadow)
Hi, I have a problem with the back camera. When turned on I can see a black shadow on one side and when I take the photo, appears in all the photos.
I searched on the Internet to resolve this problem but I haven't been successful. A friend told me that maybe it is dirt that was introduced into the cover but I don't think It's true.
The iPhone haven't dropped me for some quite time and don't crashing.
Look here is a photo to show you how the black shadow looks like:
Please, anyone know what the problem can be?It certainly does work.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved. -

Did you buy PSE in the mac app store? If not, just go to Help>Updates in the editor and update camera raw and you should be able to open the raw files in PSE 12 directly without the DNG converter.
