  • AE65: How to display interlacing?

    Posted by Kylesway on June 28, 2006 at 10:34 am

    Hi all

    maybe a “stupid” question, but this almost got me on my last
    stabilizing task: How can I set AE65 to display the “untuned”
    fields, ie not do deinterlacing on the fly but just display the
    2 fields together, comb artifacts and all? Premiere65 does it
    w/ the artifacts, AE65 always seems to deinterlace.

    Background: I was stabilizing a PAL DV clip. Everything looked great
    in AE65, even in RAM preview. But when exported and played back
    as part of the finished movie, it turned out that the tracker had
    hickupped on a few fields, causing the image to jump for a single
    field. It was clearly visible on the rendered file viewed in Premiere
    65 but not at all in AE65. Only when I looked at the keyframes
    individually, did I see the keyframes for the ‘odd’ fields, and bingo,
    they had the bad position values.

    So: How can I set AE65 (or7) to display the clips in a way that
    allows me to directly see such glitches?

    Thanks a lot

    In your project window, right-click on your footage and go to footage-interpretation.
    Then use deinterlacing “none”.

    As mentioned above, you can just turn off field interpolation to stop AE deinterlacing the footage.

    But if you’re tracking interlaced footage, you’d be much better off dropping your correctly interpreted PAL footage into a comp that is set to 50 frames per second. That way you’ll be able to clearly track fields, and adjust the incorrect tracking points when they happen.
