  Jaggedness in Premiere monitors and .wmv output, but not in .avi’s

  Posted by Deja Lou on August 2, 2006 at 5:23 pm

  Greetings All,

  I’m shooting on a GL-2 and digitizing/capturing .avi’s with Premiere Pro 2.0.
  The .avi’s look fine, but the video in the monitors in Premiere have a jaggedness that is most notable when there is action on the screen (a presenter moving his hands). It’s not exactly pixellization, it’s more like spaced-apart, horizontal lines are making up the image.

  Unfortunately, this is also showing up on our output Windows Media files from the Adobe Media Encoder.

  Am I missing a simple setting, or is this really an issue with Premiere?

  Thanks for replying

  This is interlacing. It’s sometimes normal to see it in the preview monitors. All NTSC footage is made up of two fields. Computer monitors are progressive scan and play both field kinda funny sometimes. Before exporting to wmv, deinterlace the footage or deinterlace on export. Use Adobe’s Help files to find out how.

  Thanks a lot. I thought I was deinterlacing with the “Allow Interlaced Processing” box checked, but the “De-Interlace” box is actually up in the upper left corner in the “Output” monitor and not down in the right corner with all of the other settings. Thanks for sending me in the right direction.

  Peace
