  Interlacing issues!!

  Posted by Rick Turners on November 3, 2010 at 6:01 am

  Hello,

  I have a short film here, shot on an HV20.

  Footage was captured at
  720×480
  NTSC CCIR 601,
  29.97 Lower field dominance.

  Edited in a sequence that matches those settings.
  However, there is still interlacing?

  I opened the clip in finder and in quicktime there are no interlacing issues..

  Sent the footage to Color, rendered worked and rendered in 29.97, rendered original format (dv/dvcpro NTSC)

  Same issue..

  What am I doing wrong here?

  It’s interlaced video and you’re playing back on a computer monitor, of course you have interlace, that’s to be expected. Play the same material back on a video monitor or TV and you won’t see the interlace. You can also try setting your canvas at 100%.

  If the material is destined for the Web, you either deinterlace it or scale it down by 50% or more to lose the interlace.

  Get it?
