Is de-interlace a must?

I have read some past posts on how to not get flickering on video clips when converted to dvd from dv, but i am still unclear that is de-interlacing a whole sequence compulsory to do before exporting in to make a dvd from idvd , dvdsp or toast?
i know this is a very elementary query but please help.
thanks for your replies

  • Advanced Settings of Apple ProRes Codec Interlace Checkbox

    When exporting a Quicktime movie with ProRes HQ codec, how crucial is the checkbox in the Advanced Setting Tab labeled interlaced?
    I have been told it is simply metadata while others have told me its crucial to the interlacing of a file. I just need some clarification. Thanks

    If you are working in a 1080i sequence and need to export a 1080i movie do not use Custom Settings, it will send it through an unnecessary conversion.
    Only use Custom Settings if you need to convert to a different compression codec or image size, and if that's the case, I'd still export with current settings and convert using Compressor.
    But to answer your original question, the interlaced box must be checked to maintain interlacing. For exporting to HD video, Interlacing should be set to Top Field First. If it is not checked it will de-interlace (and poorly, outside Compressor) your exported video.

  • Best practices for exporting for digital signage?

    I am exporting video clips to be displayed in a PC-based digital signage system. My video was shot in 1080i60, and I imported and edited the footage using HDV sequence settings. My final export size needs to be 1920 x 1080.
    I have tried a couple of export strategies (export using Quicktime conversion) and just haven't been happy with how the video clips look on the PC system -- way too much interlacing. When I realized that the HDV codec is not cross platform, I started taking the additional step of opening and re-saving the .mov file in Quicktime. Now I'm fiddling around with Compressor, just to add more complications. I have tried so many different settings and codecs that I have completely lost my way! Can anyone recommend a workflow for this situation?
    I am using FCP6 and Compressor 3 on an iMac OS 10.5.8.
    Thanks for any help.

    I still see interlacing on the H.264 export that I don't see when I export the sequence as HDV. Of course, I can't get the HDV export to play on a PC.
    I'm trying to read between all of the lines here...I'm going to assume there is a fundamental lack of understanding about what interlacing is and how you're going to remove it. The display either handles interlaced or progressive video files; one or the other. Let's assume it's progressive only. Since you shot interlaced, you must decide how you're going to remove the interlacing; you either throw away one filed or your combine them. If you combine them, you will see combed edges on anything that moves horizontally because every other line of pixels was captured 1/60th of a second later in time. If you throw away one field, you might as well have shot 720.
    Where do you want o make this compromise?

  • Best YouTube output settings using CS2?

    I have tried and tried and tried to get decent looking footage onto YouTube to no avail!  What is the deal here?  I have a simple 3 minute clip that is taking over an our to export as a WMV file before I even attempt to get it to YouTube.  Can anyone tell me what format and settings ought to give me the best results? Please be very specific.  Thanks!!

    Very important is quality of your source video.
    If there is too much noise you must apply noise reduction first.
    Dont change frame rate.
    If the source video is interlace you must deinterlace it."Separate fields" with "preserve edges" option in After Effects is good solution.
    Also some basic adjustment like Levels etc. is good idea.
    Now if you can upload your video in source format it is best for quality when Youtube encode it, but it is time consuming upload.
    Best compromise is to encode video In h264 codec.
    I use MainConcept Reference encoder for this but you can use AME.
    Here is my settings for PAL/NTSC SD source example,
    Codec H.264/AVC Pro
    Profile  H.264 High
    Level 5.1
    TV system PAL/NTSC
    Frame rate 25/30 fps
    Widh  640 px
    Heigh 480 px
    Aspect 4:3
    Square pixels
    Variable Bitrate
    Average     4000 kbps
    Maximum  8000 kbps
    2 pass encoding
    Frame Encoding
    Set keyframe at scene change
    Stereo Audio,Sample Rate 44.1Khz, and Bitrate 192 kbps
    AUDIO and VIDEO mux in MP4 file
    ...or you can just use one of AMEs Youtube preset.
    Also if your audio is 48Khz you better go first to Audition and resample there to 44.1Khz with pre/post filter on and quality set to High 999, because audio resampling is very critical proces for quality and Auditions resampler is one of the best on market.
    What is your source file?

  • Export to Blu-ray? 25 fps must be interlaced?

    Hi,
    I want to export my AE project of approx 30 min containing several HD files to a Blu Ray disc. The end goal is to project the video in HD quality using the Epson  EMP-TW2000 projector. This projector is HD compatible.
    To project the video I need to connect the beamer to a computer capable of playing a heavy HD file (1), OR burn the project to a BRD (2) and play it using a BRplayer.
    I prefer option 2, so my question is: which would be the preferred export preset?
    Project specs:
                        - 1920x1080 sq pix  (16:9)
                        - 25 fps
                        - my imported video files (Prem.Pro sequences) are also 25 fps and are Progressive (!)
    To export to a BRD compatible format, do i not encounter a big problem: my projectfiles are 25 fps and progressive, and I believe that the only Bluray preset dispaying 1920x1080 with 25 fps requests an INTERLACED video  (I viewed the presets found on this forum, this thread)... There is also a Progr. format, BUT then you need 30 fps (29,...).
    So, is there one dimension that can be changed without changing the content of the video, and if yes which one (either the interlacing or the fps).
    I'm not very familiar with the whole Blu-ray thing, I hope that someone can help me out.
    Thanks,
    Jef

    So, is there one dimension that can be changed without changing the content of the video, and if yes which one (either the interlacing or the fps).
    You could just slow it down to 24p (23.97 fps). Everything else is unrealistic. For compatibility reasons, the specs are set in stone with no room for creative variations and on the other hand, extrapolating footage to increase frame rates never looked good, not even when going from SD PAL to NTSC.

  • Documents must be saved before they can be merged - PS CS6

    I'm getting a "Documents must be saved before they can be merged" error message while trying to auto stitch panos in PS CS6.  As always, I've copied and imported images into LR5, then select images and "edit images in>PS CS6".  From there go to Automate>Photomerge and "add open images", which produces the error message.
    Until two days ago I've had no problems merging panos using this process.  I had not made any changes to my system when this problem started occurring.  Since then I have installed Mac and Adobe updates hoping to resolve the issue with no luck.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

  • 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

  • Can I use new 1080/30p Sony FX-1000 & avoid iM '09 "interlace" problems?

    The whole interlace/deinterlace/codecs, etc. problems are all way beyond me. Can I avoid all these '09 iM/iDVD image quality problems (my final goal is a great looking DVD just like I was able to do way back in the iMovie 4 days with SD) with a 1080/30p camcorder? From the discussion board I seem to conclude that all the problems relate to shooting with an "interlaced" camera, but now I just found the new Sony HDR-FX1000 (3-chip) that shoots 1080/30p. It's still HDV tape format, but that's O.K. for now. Will my '09 iM editing life be trouble-free with this camera ??? I would be buying the new 2.93 GHz iMac that just came out.

    Hi Steve: I could not begin to recap the confusions of the "deinterlaced is not interlaced" string of 300 posts over the past month re: converting interlaced acquisition to AIC and/or Quicktime and/or a hundred other options and tweeks. I just don't have a clue. What I want to do is connect a HD camcorder (I currently have a Canon HV 20 but have not done any HD editing because I don't have iM 06, 08 or 09), and am still looking for the easiest, problem-free, high quality camcorder/iM 09 combo - even if I must buy a new $3,500.00 HD camcorder (the HV 20 being not very competent or efficient on several levels) - that will let me painlessly import from camcorder to iM 09 in a way that excellent quality is retained from original acquistion through editing and iDVD disc burn. I thought deinterlacing, one of the prominent problems discussed in the 300-post string, might not apply to a 1080/30p camera since interlacing does not apply, correct?
    But I don't know of other problems that could also arise with the FX1000 1080/30p. Your advice, obviously prized throughout many discussion board topics, is equally appreciated here.

  • Unusual interlacing problem

    Greetings,
    I recently shot a short 16mm film and got it telecined to DV NTSC with timecode/keycode window-burn. I imported the flex file I got from the lab into a Cinema Tools 4 database, then exported a batch capture list, and captured the footage into FCP 6. Everything seemed to have worked correctly, with the window-burn on the video matching the timecode and keycode information in CT. HOWEVER, when viewing the footage in the CT window, certain frames have interlacing problems. The pattern is:
    A2, B2, C1, D1, D3
    For every frame, the last number on the burned-in timecode is a bit fuzzy, but for every C1 and D1 the last number on the timecode and the last two numbers on the keycode are barely legible. C1 and D1 are also the two frames when the video image has an interlaced look to it.
    And this is happening BEFORE I have even tried to reverse telecine! The footage has none of these problems when viewing on FCP and the original quicktime videos look fine as well. It is only in the CT window that I get this problem.. I am planning on eventually getting the negative conformed from an EDL list, and am worried this problem might be a sign of some sort of discrepancy between the film negative and the Cinema Tools database.
    The info I entered into the database initially was TK Speed: 24 and TC Rate: 30 NDF, but have tried experimenting with different variations, none of which fixed the problem. ALSO, when I went ahead and reverse telecined the clips with CT, it took out every D1 frame correctly, but the interlacing and illegible numbers problem persisted. When I connected the new reverse telecined clip into FCP, the problem was still there. But when I checked the new reverse telecined clip quicktime file, everything looked perfect, without the interlaced look in the image, with completely legible window-burn, and with every D1 removed. So I figure it must be a problem with Cinema Tools!
    I apologize for the long post, but I'm a student filmmaker trying desperately to get my senior film together and avoid possibly costly and time-consuming mistakes down the road. Any thoughts/ advice would be greatly, greatly, appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Zachary

  • Graphics for Interlaced & Progressive Video.

    I had started an earlier thread addressing this issue. The answer I received didn't achieve the results I was looking for so I presented the information a little better. Thank you.
    I am having interlacing issues producing graphics for a video destined for both the web and broadcast.
    The video's main output will be interlaced on a DVD, the project uses mixed sources both progressive and interlaced. Graphics produced for this piece have been exported from motion with field rendering on.
    Approval for this video is done over the internet on youtube. I must deinterlace the video so that it may be displayed on youtube correctly. The problem is that the graphics in the video get ugly stairstepping in them due to the deinterlacing. Deinterlacing is done through compressor's frame controls.
    What is the best method for producing graphics for a video that is destined for both TV and the web? Should I be working in both a progressive and an interlaced timeline (exporting graphics either interlaced or progressive for each timeline). Producing only a progressive video is not valid in this case because we want the interlaced video assets to maintain their interlacing for television. Is there something I can do with my interlaced timeline/video to make the graphics look good when changed to progressive?

    The methods provided in the previous thread ARE the best methods. That you're having issues is indicative of something else perhaps. It would be best if you could provide a sample of the two clips and the issue you're seeing. Also, a complete accounting of the footage and graphics would help as well. Here is an example:
    +Video is DV/NTSC 720x480 29.97, lower field dominance.+
    +Graphics are Text. Font Arial bold, 28 point in Boris Title tool.+
    +Compressor settings: DVD Best 90. Frame controls: Deinterlace (better), output progressive.+
    +Here's a pic of the stairstepping I'm seeing after Compressor [provide link]+

  • Interlace Deinterlace Export and Youtube Problem

    We bought a nice new high end consumer camera - the Panasonic HC X900M . For the price of about $800 this little camera shoots sharp, crisp, colorful, high definition video. My son is spending a year in China and did not want a large camera. Anyway....
    It shoots in these modes I believe:  1080p   and  1080i . So far so good. The video looks great. We get it into the computer. We did not want to buy a professional level video editing system / software.... So we have ADOBE Elements 10 (I believe it is 10 or 9).   (I use CS6 and like Adobe editing.)
    ELEMENTS does not work with 1080p. So we've decided to shoot in 1080i.
    We bring the video clips into Elements. The settings for the project MUST MATCH the video shot... we understand that. The camera has different settings for 1080i shooting. They are HA HG  HX  HE = different mbps. (Here is a link to the specifications in case you cannot read the jpeg) http://panasonic.net/avc/camcorder/hd/x900_series/specifications.html
    So we set the settings for the
    project at 1080i DV. Can't remember if it was 60i or 30i ? (I don't have his computer here with me...I cannot verify exact project settings. We tried a few)
    Does Elements support this camera's settings for video? In this case 1920 x 1080 60i ?  (list above) Can Elements support any of these, and how? I assume so, but if one mode in particular should be used, please advise.
    For testing we shot in HA I believe to get as much quality in 1080i. We edited a test sequence. It looks and sounds great, plays back just fine in laptop software. Then we export. (The goal is to compress down to the internet Youtube best quality.) We first go to export to Youtube / Web. But Adobe will not ACCEPT his user name and password. We cannot log on to Youtube. Yes, the password is correct. So that does not work. Strike one.
    We decide to export to desktop. We try H.264  and try to set the settings correctly, but every attempt at every setting, results in bad interlaced video. Strike two. There are many many options for export settings. We have tried a great number of options.
    Any settings suggestions to make this work? Besides deinterlacing every single clip on the timeline? Or is that the only option.
    Is there any editing software you can recommend - not high end professional - that will work?
    Thanks for the help.

    Premiere Elements can definitely work with video from this camcorder shot in 1920x1080 AVCHD at 60i. It also appears that your cam can shoot in both stereo and 5.1 audio, both of which Premiere Elements can support -- but take note of which you select so that you can match these specs when you set up your program.
    Currently Premiere Elements doesn't support 1920x1080 at 60p -- that consumer interest in that format is growing, so you may well see support for it in an upcoming version of the program.
    Most professional video editors will work with 1080p60, including Premiere Pro CS6 and Vegas Pro.
    As for the different quality levels of your video, that's your call. The program should be able to work with any of them. But if you want the best results, I'd use the highest bit rate/quality.

  • Interlace problem with Final Cut Pro

    Hi,
    I have been using Final Cut Studio now from September and I am still learning things. I still have one problem that is persistent and have not found a solution anywhere, not in help or anywhere:
    - I shoot my videos with Canon EOS 5D mark II DSLR at 1920x1080 30p.
    - I want to keep the resolution and 30p, with no interlace spoiling the image
    - I have been recently successful avoiding the disease called interlace, however now I started trying out the SmoothCam filter and each time after using it my image is ruined with interlace. It is in the rendered video as well, no matter if I use Compressor or FCP Quicktime conversion to render, despite I have selected 1920x1080 30p as output.
    This is very aggravating because I don't want to know where the interlace is needed since I have no displays that would support interlace and don't know anybody who still would have (everybody is using FullHD something, so I try to create FullHD progressive content only, no tube television support of any kind is desired).
    Here is a short example video how the FCP forces interlace. Look at the eyes on 1080p display:
    http://www.katix.org/karoliina/media/aki.mov
    Everything in my chain is 1080 30p progressive. I don't have anything interlaced anywhere. Still after smoothcam rendering the result ends this crappy. How can I fix this or is this a bug in the software?

    I can't answer the question about MXF.
    To the second question, are all parts of the FCS suite inside the top level of the Applications folder?
    You must not rename, move them elsewhere or place them in a sub-folder. The updater will not see them.

  • Why are my Photoshop images interlaced?

    Is that just an effect FCP throws into to make the progressive frames look like the rest of your footage, or is FCP actually interlacing my Photoshop files? I can run some tests and figure it out but if someone has a quick answer, it'd be much appreciated!

    I was referring to:
    "Spend some time learning what interlace means. Search it in the FCP manual, it's very good at that sort of thing.
    Interlace is a very good thing - unless it's used poorly - which happens when it's misunderstood. It allows us to have very clean NTSC and PAL images with smooth movement, in very limited bandwidth."
    But I'll readily admit that meaning can get misconstrued by text very easily, so no offense taken here, nor there apparently.
    My initial problem was solved, but I've encountered a new one as a result.
    What I'd like to is take the 1080i footage I have (six DVD set) and create a progressive video of half that size for the web (just a five minute promo). It's a bit smaller than half the source, and some scenes are cropped differently due to different needs for televisions and computer screens. I have an excellent video already working, but there are some improvements I would like to make (if it's possible).
    I have two sources for the content in my video. One is the HDV camera (1080i), and the other source is the computer (Motion files, JPEGs, etc). Apart from the dissolve between the scenes, at no point is there a combination of these two sources within a frame. The scenes are neatly separated (each scene is a nested sequence).
    What I want to do is deinterlace the camera footage. If I understand correctly, FCP's deinterlace filter is a line-doubler, halving the resolution but maintaining the temporal information. Because my output is half the dimensions of the source (give or take), this works perfectly for me because I'm losing that resolution anyway. Meanwhile, the scenes comprised of assets from Photoshop and the like are rendered at full resolution. To achieve this, I would think I'd deinterlace the sequences with interlaced footage, then nest the sequence in a new sequence which is smaller and without field dominance. Then, by nesting the sequences with non-interlaced assets, they are rendered at full resolution while the interlaced footage is rendered progressively because the parent sequence has been deinterlaced.
    What's happening is that I MUST keep field dominance turned on in the downscaled sequence or the camera footage displays weird effects (like interlacing, but with alternating large sets of pixels rather than single pixel lines). This in turn interlaces the scenes with the computer assets, requiring me to deinterlace them as well, halving the resolution unnecessarily.
    The only guess I have as to why this happens is that the deinterlace filter is being carried over to the downscaled sequence rather than already deinterlaced footage.
    So, having said all that, the simple version of the question is:
    How do you create a progressive video for the web from a larger interlaced version WITHOUT interlacing and then deinterlacing the portions of the video which weren't interlaced to begin with? Is it impossible to do this within a single sequence, and if so how do I combine multiple exported sequences into a single video for the web? Unfortunately I need to be able to cross dissolve from each scene to the next, so can I do that using Quicktime Pro, Compressor, or some other program?
    I would show you the footage but I can't be putting links up to it on the Internet right now (not my choice).
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer and sorry we got off to a bad start.

  • X200s - 50Hz interlaced display mode only... What a headache!

    Bought X200s (1440x900 resolution) recently.
    Have found it to be very bad for my eyes.
    I've used to work on my aforetime Quanta for hours w/o any problems.
    Now with X200s I do have blearing eyes and headache very soon.
    Investigating the problem I've found that the best (and the only) display resolution possible is 50Hz.
    Moreover, only interlaced display mode is possible, even with native resolution!
    So the best mode we have with the newest X200s is 50Hz interlaced...
    Well, I've seen such LCD monitors when I was young (that was ages ago)...
    But now???
    I wonder if there is any other notebook (either netBook) on the market now with maximum refresh rate less then 60Hz?
    No fear!
    I'm definitely sure that Lenovo should recall this piteous product ASAP.
    Message Edited by gelleal on 03-20-2009 12:25 PM

    @lead_org
    I do not compare CRT to LCD at all.
    To be more clear:
    1. All modern LCD screens (including all laptop screens currently on market) hold at least 60Hz refresh rate/non-interlaced mode.
    2. Whereas cheap laptop LCDs work usually at not more then 60Hz, good screens possess 75Hz and sometimes 90Hz rates.
    3. Only very old LCD screens (10+ years ago) had 50Hz of refresh rate maximum and could work utilising interlaced modes only.
    4. The common notion states that any good LCD (not CRT) screen must render 60Hz refresh rate at least.
    On smaller CRT monitors (~<14 inches) few people notice any discomfort below 60–72 Hz. On larger CRT monitors (~>17 inches) most people would experience mild discomfort unless the refresh is set to a more comfortable 85 Hz or higher. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refresh_rate)
    Some major manufactures consider 60Hz to be unsufficient, offering 75Hz-capable laptop screens.
    5. Low refresh rate setting affects the LCD’s performance (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22119?viewlocale=en_US etc. etc.).
    So, am I wrong? Or is the market wrong?
    Are there any other laptops with 50Hz (interlaced) maximum refresh rate I'm not aware of?
    I doubt if any.
    Back on topic: with new X200s (1440x900), I have 90Hz (non-interlaced) on external 17" 1280x1024 Sony LCD monitor, and up to 100Hz on external 20" NEC LCD monitor (any resolution).
    Both have a great picture.
    50Hz interlaced is definitely the laptop screen limitation, not of the Intel 4 Series Express graphic adapter.
    I've tried the older X200s (1280x800), which runs at 60Hz non-interlaced and does have a good stable picture.
    Did Lenovo accomplish a product invention, or there is a sales pitch of cheap screens below standards?
    BTW, in some countries LCD screens with refresh rates below 60Hz are prohibited by public health regulations.
