  Deinterlacing in AE

  Posted by Collin Alexander on October 7, 2007 at 3:26 am

  I need to deinterlace some 720×480 footage. I’d like each field to line-double into a new frame, and I’d like to keep both odd and even fields.

  Is this possible in AE?

  Do I need to double the frame rate to prevent all the even fields from being discarded?

  If AE won’t do it, is there another program that will?

  Thanks.

  Set your footage to lower fields first (I assume because of the NTSC frame size) and place on a comp at 29.97 fps (or whatever is native) and then time stretch the footage to 200 percent. AE will create a frame from each field.

  alternately, you could set the interpret footage settings as andrew mentioned the drop the footage into a 59.94 comp and retain the data from each frame, without slowing the footage down.
