Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Interlacing Problem

  • Interlacing Problem

    Posted by Mike Hoffman on November 6, 2010 at 7:12 pm

    I used After Effects to convert a 25 fps progressive clip to NTSC widescreen. The resulting clip is what you would expect: 720×480, 29.97 fps, interlaced (bottom field first). The new clip looks exactly how I want it when I play it with media players and also when I view it on the timeline in Premiere CS4. However, when I go to export Media Encoder now shows the source with that bad interlaced look like this:

    Anyone know why?

    P.S.: When I deinterlace for the web it looks good but I want to put it on a DVD too.

    Just put the footage on a dvd.
    Dvd players can handle interlaced footage just fine.

    As Ann Said, this will no show up on a TV played when in a DVD player.

    If this is exclusively going to be played on computers, you can de-interlace, but you will lose some resolution in the process.

    Hmmm, I’m putting together a bunch of different videos on a DVD and so far none of the other resulting m2v files that Premiere exported (using the same DVD MPEG-2 preset) look that way when I play them on my computer. I can’t figure out why this one is different.

    It likely has to do with the particular motion in that clip. How is the resulting DVD?

    Converting from pal to ntsc and then to mpeg is quite a long process.
