  • 1080i50 footage to Progressive

    Posted by Brandon Donnelly on October 14, 2008 at 3:45 pm

    I have a video that i am editing on a 25fps sequence that is 50 interlaced 1080 footage. When I export the footage and watch it you can tell it is interlace and i know it can be converted from 50i to 25fps (progressive) through post house software but i simply want to know what i can do to have a finished video without that interlaced look…. Can it just be deinterlaced at some point and how would you recommend that? That would not make it progressive though would it, that would just clean up and smooth out some frames????

    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Brandon

    Just need to apply a good de-interlacer: RE_Vision Fields Kit, Nattresse or similar and render. Don’t use de FC de-interlacer.

    When you de-interlace footage , what you get is Progressive.

    Thanks for the help. The one other question i have is regarding the plug in to use. I found a few Nattress filters on my FCP. There are the following to use (under a subfolder called Nattress Film Effects – Deinterlace):

    -G Fast Deinterlace
    -G Fast Deinterlace Blend
    -G Fast Deinterlace Smart
    -G Fast Deinterlace Smatt Blend
    -G Smart De-interlace V2.5.1.

    Which one should I use or is there a different one you use normally. I tried a test with the G Fast Deinterlace and did a split screen with the Deinterlaced and the original and I couldn’t notice it, is that normal considering im working off of a monitor in FCP to not notice it???? Also do i select the option to pick the upper field in the order and do I select the first field in the Natress filter?

    Sorry I’m new to 1080i and trying to figure this out. Thanks
