    Posted by Jude Lunch on August 29, 2007 at 8:46 am

    Hi guys
    The edges of my video content appears horribly jaggy, I have an idea that is something to do with deinterlacing but I am not sure, I know its not a compression as it aint distorted like a jpeg or compressed video.

    Any ideas on how to rectify???

    Are you looking at your Canvas display or an External monitor.

    If you don’t have an external television monitor, connect one first, then let us know if you still have bad quality.

    Actually I have just attached the player to a monitor, which aint great but I think it may actually be happening during capture. Is this what you suspected?

    When I ipmort work from c4d exported as quicktime animations they look fine… its just the video! Its sharp, but distorted by those lines >:(

    Its as if the pixels are fine in the first row, then off by about ten pixels in the next row. Back to normal the next, then off and so on!

    If there is a place I can upload a jpeg I could show you what I mean.

    Every 10 lines? Sounds like it could it be a video playback – bad tracking issue during capture. If so, try cleaning the playback heads or capturing from another deck or camera.

    What camera was used?

    Sounds like interlacing. Something is awry somewhere. Are you seeing it in the canvas window at 100% mag? Or do you have an external monitor. If this is DV, use your deck and monitor to see the image on a proper monitor.

    Try deinterlacing your footage and see if that makes a difference.

    But really, until you tell us more – format, your system, where it’s going to end up – we can’t offer much more help

    What type of QT are you exporting and what seetings are your timeline? That can make all the difference.
