  • de interlace filter sucks !!!

    Posted by Rajarshi Basu on August 19, 2008 at 9:28 am

    Hi,

    I am editing a feature length documentary and I need to deinterlace my footage. Never had such issues in Premiere or Avid.

    what are the good 3rd party deinterlace filters available for FCP ?

    Hi,

    I like stibs pluggins: https://pureandapplied.com.au/plugins.html
    and
    Mattias pluggins; Tmts: https://www.mattias.nu/plugins/

    or you can try to turn your sequence settings field dominance to none…

    Best regards Andreas

    Even more fundamental:
    If you knew you had to deliver frames, why did you shoot fields?

    This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

    Not to take away from the other suggestions, they are all good, but Compressor using Frame Controls also works well, and you already have it. Do a search, it’s been discussed a bunch of times here.

    Simplest solution of all. Change field dominance to None. This will work in certain scenarios. As Dave mentioned, without knowing what kind of footage your dealing with it’s impossible to say what the best solution is.

    Hi dave,

    The footage has been shot in Sony Pd 170 and Z1P in DVCam mode. Its 25fps.

    I will be broadcasting it from Digi Beta. So I will be doing my final color correction on Quantel or Smoke where I will scale up the footage to make the film 16:9 and then transferring it to Digi Beta.

    Previously I have been editing on Avid and Premiere and faced no such problem. Its only in FCP it seems this issue exists.

    Hi Dave,

    The thing is, this documentary is meant for broadcast on BBC and Arte France. And they have a lot of broadcasting specs.Like they want the final film to be true 16:9…so the upscaling…

    And yes, if its finally shown on digibeta, there will be letterboxing…thats the confusing part for me…

    Firstly I am an editor, I can color correct maybe a short film, but to color correct a 120min video is too much.

    Secondly, scaling the image in an online machine will be less lossy then doing it on FCP..isn’t it ?

    Raj,

    Firstly – yes, the DI filter in FCP aint the best. For you, I’d talk to your graders first – they may have a good DI filter in Smoke or Quantel that will do fine.

    For resizing 4:3 to 16:9 I’d use Digital Anarchy’s ReSizer. You can get some nice results – there’s also a de-interlacer included in that that’s worth trying…
