  • AE Preserve Edges – Top Row Pixel Shift

    Posted by Vincent Rosati on February 23, 2006 at 12:04 am

    When applying deinterlace with lower field dominance and “Preserve Edges” to 60i source the single uppermost row of pixels shifts to the left, and is noticeably out of place. The final display of this project will not be overscanned and this top pixel row would be visible to the viewer. I am looking for a simple fix or workaround as this problem may affect as many as 950 clips.

    Yo,admarkjamaica

    I heven’t devised a “solution” for my problem. The project must continue, so I will apply the following coverups.
    1-At a later stage, I will be using a sort of “frame edge diffusion” that will pull black inward from the outer edge of the frame.
    If this doesn’t cover the problem adequitely I will…
    2- Before applying the diffusion, I will place a 1 pixel bar of black across the top row and the bottom row (I include the unaffected bottom row because I’m silly about keeping the useable height at an even number), and than apply the diffusion.

    Your issue seems to be a little different. Are you using 60i source material, DV?
    Are you using a deinterlacing technique that is causing the problem? It sounds like your issue affects the entire frame. Is the problem consistent throughout the timeline, or is it sporadic?
