Why does hitting the Single Field checkbox in QT remove lines from my video?

Hi, when reviewing my HD video's I see annoying lines. However I went into the video track and hit the Single Field checkbox and they went away. The deinterlace checkbox did absolutely nothing however. Does this simply mean the footage is progressive but quicktime was just reading it wrong initially?
Very intereseted in knowing the answer.
All the best

Ok, maybe you can help me. I was sold some software that was meant to output progressive files in the AVI container with the MJPEG codec. I told him the software seems to be outputting interlaced files and this was his reasoning. Is he correct or is he taking me for a ride? This is a little beyond my knowledge of video systems so if anyone and help me please do.
They are Progressive Segmented Frames (PsF). This means they are progressive frames but with their information spread across two fields of an interlaced frame. Remember, interlacing is something added to the output of video to facilitate display requirements; it doesn't exist inside your PC. Odd, yes, but this is handy because if you had a true native progressive feed and tried to watch it on a display monitor that only supported interlaced input, you would not get an image. Also, PsF streams allow you to effectively use an interlaced camera to create progressive frames because, again, in a PC or MAC, there is no such thing as interlacing and during capture of each film frame, nothing moves between fields. Everything ends up progressive though carried on interlaced fields.  
Forget film for a moment: Even when you shoot live video with an interlaced camera, the two successive fields for each frame are ALWAYS handled as one progressive frame inside your NLE, which usually displays only one of the fields during editing while the other field just goes along for the ride unseen. When you output the file or watch it on an external video monitor, the frames are then again broken up into fields to facilitate ease of playback on a variety of displays. If you were to deinterlace that video footage on your NLE, it would drop one field and use the remaining field to artificially create the missing field information to create one progressive frame. However, the output file would then be a PsF file because, even though the frames are now progressive, they are still being carried by an interlaced medium.
Likewise, when you use your progressive camera to create a live image, believe it or not, the video output is a PsF stream. That means the progressive frames are carried in two successive fields. The PC or Mac doesn't care that the information for each progressive frame arrives in two parts because, as mentioned earlier, the two parts are handled as one frame inside the NLE during editing.

  • Elements11 QUE: Why does only the audio-portion transfer to timeline when I drag a video file down.

    Elements11 - 1st time user
    When I drag a known good video file from the "My Videos" Folder on my laptops disk down to the "Drag Here" box in my project Timeline, only the audio portion transfers NOT the video.
    I am trying to create an "Instant Movie" after watching a youtube video on the subject.
    The end goal is to combine portions of three video clips into one for my sons school project.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Elements11DRC
    What version of Premiere Elements are you working with and on what computer operating system is it running?
    Can we assume by your selected ID, that the program is Premiere Elements 11?
    Pending further details, I will assume that you are working with Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
    Where is this "My Videos" Folder - on a DVD disc being used as a DataDisc for video storage purposes?
    If so, Add Media/DVD Camera or Computer Drive/Video Importer and from there automatically into the project in Project Assets as well as on the Timeline.
    If your "My Videos" Folder is a folder on the computer hard drive, then Add Media/Files and Folders to get the video into Project Assets from where you drag the video to the Timeline.
    Now for the video that you are trying to import...what are its properties
    Video Compression
    Audio Compression
    Frame Size
    Frame Rate
    Interlaced or Progressive
    File Extension
    Pixel Aspect Ratio
    Probably answered the easiest by knowing the brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded the video.
    Prime interest, that video compression. It could be MotionJPEG which can be problematic for Premiere Elements. It could be AVCHD.avi which cannot be imported.
    We can go into greater detail on your project details once we rule in or out any of the factors mentioned above.
    By the way, what is the destination for this project....burn to disc DVD or Blu-ray...export to file saved to the computer hard drive...other?
    More later.
    Thanks.

  • Newbie zsh question: why does hitting ENTER product an "M"

    Embarrassing that I can't find out the answer to this one... why does hitting the ENTER key cause my zsh to display the letter M at the prompt?
    My configuration files:
    Link to ~/.zshrc
    Link to ~/.zsh

    The issue may be related to your stty settings.  Try mapping carriage returns to newlines with the following command:
    stty icrnl
    If that works, add it to your .zshrc
    You can check whether you have this mapping set already by running
    stty -a
    If you see the option, "-icrnl", then the mapping is currently disabled.  If it is not prefixed with "-" (i.e. "icrnl") then the option is currently enabled.  Also be mindful that you do not map newlines to carriage returns with the option "inlcr".

  • Why does moving the cursor peg the cpu in numbers?

    Why does moving the cursor, even by one cell, peg the cpu in numbers?

    Hello
    Before posting yesterdays, I tested with a table of 4435 x 8 cells on the iMac described below.
    I will be more precise than yesterdays.
    Numbers recalculate the entire document after every change. A single new character is sufficient.
    Twenty years ago, AppleWorks designers were kind enough to recalculate only what really needed.
    It seems that new developers are not relying upon intelligence but upon processor's brute force.
    Their code will be efficient … on the machines which will be available within at least five years.
    Alas, at this time there will no longer be compatible with the operating system.
    Given this awful coding, when AutoSave apply, it must write on disk an entire new index.xml file.
    Same thing when Versions apply.
    Under SnowLeopard these two features don't strike.
    If you wish, you may send your 'offending' document to my mailbox so I will be able to check the way it behave here. Don’t worry, I don't take care of what is really stored, only of the doc's behavior.

  • Why does it take so long to download a saved movie from the cloud

    Why does it take so long to download a saved movie from the cloud

    Hi first off if your running  fcp 7 with compressor 3.5 and fcp x and compressor 4 on the same drive you may run into problems
    as you now have a mix up between Qmasters  which caused me lots of problems when i did any back ground Rendering via compressor of FCP-X
    i had to completly remove compressor 3.5 and compressor 4 then put compressor 4 back on again  as the shared rendering out of FCP-X seems to loose the plot with both versions on the same on the same drive there is an app
    Here
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
    which you can get allows you to get rid of certain bits of FCS and FCP-X correctly as you may know deleting the app is,nt the whole story as you need to remove the pref etc as well
    but its really clearing out every thing to do with qmaster thats is the thing here thats what causes all the issues
    really you should follow apple install instructions for FCP -X install ( and put it on separate volumes ) and i know they say there is a way to get every thing working on the same drive ...but it did,nt work for me like you i had massive render times and that 3x crash error
    any way
    once i had remove done my remove C3.5 ,C4 and reinstall C4 only it worked straight away from FCP-X using all the cores on my machine
    get some thing like istats or run activity monitor to make sure Fcp-x is using all your cores to render and you can actually see if its doing anything at all instead of waiting 5 hours for an error
    if you want to use multi core in compressor 4 you have to go into the new apple qmaster tab  and setup up a quick cluster etc
    On another note i alway use Optimized media when doing the import as while you editing its back ground render every thing into pro res making it a much nice codec to compress down to H264 which you need for the ATV
    i hope that helps a bit ,some else may have a better solution but worked for me
    thanks

  • Why does't Flashplayer work after I agreed to an update from an Adobe pop-up box prompt?

    I had problems last year when Flashplayer stopped working suddenly.  After months of seeking help, I received instructions that fixed the problem...until the other day.  A pop-up box from Adobe appeared indicating an update was available.  I agreed to installing the update and the Flashplayer has not worked since.  I referred to my notes from the "fix" last year and made one adjustment in the Active-X settings, but this did not help.  Flashplayer still does not work.  Help!  I just don't think I can go through this for several months again.

    Hi,
    I am going to try reorganizing my reply first and
    just forwarding to you before I try to recover a
    message.  I think the problem may be that I
    provided answers within your text instead of
    separately.  Your system may not like the format
    I tried.  So here goes....  I have pulled my
    answers out of your message and they appear in
    the order of your inquiries below.
    “Check the Windows system tray carefully to make
    certain no applications are still in memory which
    might possibly use Flash Player.” –a statement
    from the Adobe Un-install link article.  I don't
    know what “in memory” means.  The only things I
    have that may use Flashplayer that I know of is
    the Weather Bug.  Windows Mediaplayer is also
    listed in my programs, but I have never used it.
    Also, there is no mention of Norton here, but
    Norton Internet Security ’09 is what I have installed.
    1. No Firefox.  MSN Exlorer is listed among my
    Programs, but I have never used it.  It was
    likely installed by Dell when I purchased the computer.
    2. Norton Internet Security '09.  Bell Internet
    Security - Alert is listed in my programs (with
    options, including uninstall) but this is the first time I have noticed it.
    3. Norton Internet Security has a firewall with
    it that I understand is way better than Windows.
    4. There is a Google toolbar, Norton toolbar and
    a bunch of stuff listed in the Manage Add-ons
    like Skype, Adobe and Sun Java Console which I think are add-ons.
    Java Webstart is listed under Accessories in
    Programs.  In Programs is Adobe Distiller 6.0,
    Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard, Adobe (which is
    empty), Adobe.com and Adobe Reader 9.  I did not find DLM or GetPlus.
    I found no listing for Shockwave Flash
    Object.  You did not ask this and I don't mean to
    get ahead of you but in case there is relevance,
    I looked in Internet Options, Security, Custom
    and saw a number of reference to Active X and
    plug-ins, some of which are disabled; others enabled.
    From reading in your posts to mlmarg, I saw the
    instructions for finding the Flash folder and
    used them.  I used Explorer to access My
    Computer,, C Drive, Folder 1386, Folder System
    32.  There are 2 items in it from 2002 but not
    what I think you want.  The 2 are SMSS.EXE and
    NTDLL.DLL.  If this is not correct, I will need your instructions to locate it.
      I will ask because I don't always understand
    what you are asking of  me.  Thanks.

  • Why does my apply laptop shut off Safari when I try  to watch videos online? Also why can't I use Firefox with this(I used to)

    Why does ma older apple laptop cancel Safari when I a m watching videos online?  Also,I used to be able to run Firefox but now message states "can't use with this operating system"?

    You can't use Firefox, because your operating system, OS X, is a version 10.4 or earlier. 
    Firefox "upgraded" its Mac compatible version, so that it will only operate with OS 10.6 or later.
    Your Safari also might quit, because it too has an upgraded version with greater stability geared toward 10.4 and later.  Perhaps you are using system 10.3 or earlier.
    It is also possible that Safari quits, because the video sites you watch have changed to be compatible with newer browser versions with later Flash Player compatibility, like Adobe.
    It is difficult to find browser compatibility or stability for earlier than 10.4.
    What the above post is showing is in the drop down menu in the upper left of your screen.  Click on the blue Apple for its drop down menu. Click on the first in the list, About This Mac. That's where you'll see the version as shown in the previous post.
    If you upgraded your Safari, even that could be a problem, because it might not work as well with your older operating system.  I haven't tried the following link, but it offers the Safari versions that fit each system. You can try downloading the one that matches yours.  If that doesn't work, you can always upgrade again.

  • Why does it take so long to download a movie rental from I tunes. I want to then transfer to my Ipad

    Why does it take so long to download a movie rental from itunes. I am doing this to transfer to ipad.This is a question.

    I have noticed this here on several machines in our office, all running Leopard.
    I just did a test and subscribed to the same 16.8MB podcast on a machine running 10.4.11 and another running 10.5.8.
    The Tiger raced straight through and downloaded at a constant rate, taking about 15 seconds.
    The Leopard raced until 1.2MB downloaded and then slowed to a crawl, going up 0.1MB every 10 or 15 seconds.
    Very strange. I've noticed the Leopards were having similar problems doing downloads through the Software Update utility.
    I compared downloading an update from Support Downloads in Safari and there is no problem.
    So (for me) this issue is applying to Leopard rather than Tiger, and only to downloads via SU and ITunes, not regular http downloads through a browser.
