  • 24p interlacing problem- only part of project

    Posted by Blackjack on October 5, 2007 at 2:10 pm

    I captured footage from 2 DVX-100 cameras, shot in 24p, into an NTSC 24p project in PP2.0.

    I removed the 24p pulldown and the framerate of all my footage says 23.976.

    I edited most of the footage together and it looks great until near the end of the timeline where the footage from one camera appears “interlaced” although far worse than actual interlacing- the lines are VERY noticeable. Maybe this is referred to as tearing?

    AND, The footage from the other camera switches to this terrible quality right in the middle of a shot and it skips a couple seconds- like many dropped frames but I know it wasn’t captured this way.

    It appears this has all happened since I started editing, so it must be a computer problem. Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Jack

    Thanks Dave. This is actually a problem I was having in Premiere Pro 2.0, not sure why my post was copied in the AE forum.

    Your advice is good but I did capture the shots individually and removed the pulldown from each one separately.

    I ended up just recapturing the footage and replacing it on the timeline, which seemed to fix it. One interesting thing: when I watch the clips outside of Premiere in Windows Media Player, the problem is not apparent. I guess that’s either because the Media Player deinterlaces the footage (it should be progressive to begin with, I don’t get it) or the problem isn’t actually there, it’s just showing up in Premiere’s preview and program windows for some reason. I’m pretty new to all this and don’t have an external monitor setup – I know, that’s the way to go to be sure.

    Thanks,
    Jack
