    Subject: Yucky interlacing – 24p project

    Hi,

    I have bad interlacing and jumpy effects that’s created when things are obviously not done right with 24p, digitizing and timelines in FINAL CUT PRO. I have read posts and I have tried most all the advice and I still have the same problem. The one thing I cannot do is redigitize my footage as I am on a major deadline.

    Here’s the info if you can help:

    Background:

    Shot on Panasonic DVX100a – 24p
    All clips are 24 w/the exception of a handful that are 29.97 (Mistake, I know.)
    Have both a computer monitor and tv monitor for playback

    Solutions attempted:

    I had originally been editing on a 29.97 timeline so what I did were copy and paste my edits into the following sequences:

    23.98
    23.98 with 24 Timecode
    29.97 with used “progressive” in Quicktime advanced settings

    Problem:

    They all look the same with the yuckville interlacing and jumpiness.

    Thanks bigtime to anyone who can help. I’m in a bind/crunch and it’s urgent.

    Nicole

    This might have a lot to do with the way the 24P material was shot. If the camera was not set up properly (especially with out of the box settings that were not tweaked THICK THIN menu particularly, then you will see these kinds of problems.

    If the Material was shot 24P and not 24PAdvacned then it should be cut in a 29.97 timeline and captured with the regular DV NTSC easy setup.

    If it was shot 24PA and you are doing a filmout then it has to be captured with advance pulldown removal and edited in 23.98 timelines.

    It sounds like the interlacing might be a sequence/captuer settings mismatch or poor initial camera setup.
