Troubles with Export…
Whenever I export using various quicktime settings, avi or windows media i’m getting horizontal lines all the way through the picture… I’ve had this problem on just about every avid i’ve ever worked on so it’s either something i’m doing wrong or an incredible cooincedence. Can anyone tell me where i’m going wrong or what the lines are? Thanks in advance for your wise words.

Sounds like what you’re seeing is interlace video (NTSC) viewed on a progressive monitor. Are you in fact viewing your quicktime movies on your computer monitor?
Giving us a little more info on your system and export settings would help.

do a video mixdown of your sequence before exporting it and see if that doersn’t fix ya up. I have not had this with quicktimes but it exists with QT references and wmv files with all the new Avids lower than DS. This has been the case since the big downgrade from Meridien. I would have thought being able to export a QT reference to Avid DVD without eating up needless drive space with a mixdown would have been fixed before a first release…at least once reported. By v2 anyway. We continue to pay to beta test for em.

Thanks for the advice, unfortunately it

I agree. It should. I think this is why so many copies of premiere, FCP and Vegas are selling.

Just out of interest, what if you export the file de-interlaced?
If it’s for streaming, and to be viewed on a computer monitor, surely it doesn’t need to be interlaced?
Either change it at export, or at encode – and see what happens. I guess a work around would be to export a QT reference to your desktop, re-import to Avid (the same as Grinner’s mixdown really) and just add a duplicate field motion effect to it to do a dodgy de-interlace, and see if that helps.
As it’s now a few days after your post, and you were at a tight deadline, I’m assuming this is too late – but I thought I’d pitch in my thoughts.
