  de-interlacing stills

  Posted by Chris Gallaway on August 20, 2007 at 3:08 pm

  Some of the stills in my edit have problems with striation and jumpiness. I’ve heard that the de-interlacing filter is the way to solve this, but I’d like to know what setting is best when using the filter and jpeg files of adequate resolution (settings being, “Upper, Odd”, “Lower, Even” and “Min/Med/Max Flicker Removal”). Anyone with an opinion on this, or is it just a matter of what looks best to the eye?
  many thanks,
  Chris G.

  If these are stills that didn’t originate from video then they have no interlacing to de-interlace. It sounds like what you’re describing is a common issue with stills used in video,
  and best cured by adding a little (meaning .6 to2) vertical motion blur in Photoshop, or the flicker filter in FCP (I prefer the control of the Motion Blur filter).
