Interlacing problems
This is the 1st time that I really have had a problem with the interlacing of a video. I scan my images at 300dpi’s. I then use Photo2movie to make my DV movie to import into Final Cut Pro. After I import the movie into Final cut pro, I add my music track, titling, and your basic stuff. I then export the video using quicktime to movie. I import the movie into iDVD and burn from there. I tried to export using *compressor* to DV-NTSC in the advanced conversion menu and that did not seem to work. Thank you for your suggestions of next steps.

You haven’t described what your actual problem with interlacing is.

Sorry. After the DVD is burned and I view it on the TV, the eyes seem to be ‘going in and out’. The shirts, backgrounds and faces seem to go in and out. Not sure exactly how to describe it except that the movie is not clear.
Thanks -
If you are working with stills just avoid to edit in DV. Choose a better codec that can keep more color information. Choose an RGB codec because you are working with still (RGB) or a YCbCr one (because you want to output to DVD) 422 i.e DVCPro50. If you master your film in DV your waisting all the quality of your graphics.
About the interlacing, you shouldn’t have much problems while working with stills because the stills are progresive.

So do you think that if I make my movie using custom settings of:
12 frames / second
DV/DVCPRO NTSC
640X480
Uncompressed 8 bit-sound
and the scan mode PROGRESSIVE
Will those options be good for making the image clear?
If not, can you give some suggestions to the following
Thank you very much. -
I wish to add that I am using panning and scanning in the photo’s

Hi Mike,
Whenever I have to make any kind of animation with stills I try to do it in AfterEffects. First because you keep working in RGB and also because the posibilities and the results of the animation are much better. Another reason is that you go to work with big stills that you will resize, and for resizeing AE or Shake have better filters than FC and the final result will be better.
If working in FC, as I told you, avoid to use DV/DVCPro codec because you are waisting the 75% of the color information of your stills. That you can see in the moment that you change your sequence setting to a higher quality codec.
About the de-interlacing it shouldn’t be much problem because your stills ar progresive, so you can set them in a progresive or interlaced sequence. The only diffrerence is that if your sequence is interlaced, the animation will look smoother.
So Mike, my advice that that you try first to set your sequence as DVCPro50 or 8b uncompressed. That may be enough to get rid of your interlacing problems.
And don’t forget to set in the Sequence Setting>Video procesing> Motion Filtering Quality: BEST.
Cheers,
rafael
