Best Deinterlace Method and Pixel Method..

[Maurice Jansen]

hi justin

deinterlacing is one of the things you can talk about for hour’s and alway’s will degrade your source material. The blend option is a very simple way of deinterlacing. it will give smooth results on the movingparts of your image but will degrade the staticpart’s of your image too much. nice for quick evaluation copy’s but not for delivery.
there are quite a few way’s to de interlace and it will be too much to explain in a post. since i don’t know vegas if you have these 2 option choose interpolate.

take some time to test things out.
and use moving video for your test’s. i use a metronome in front of a camera to make my test material,the metronome moving in front of a resolution testchart reveals a lot. since the pendula of the metronome has all kind’s of speed’s it will reveal tresholds of motion estimaters.
and the way they work (local or on the complete frame).

i once had a typical shot of a conveyor belt with in the background a brand of a other machine in the room. when ever there was something on the beld the brand was unreadible when the beld was emty the brand was razor sharp.

again i don’t know vegas.
but trial and error is a learning experience for this issue

I recommend blend on fast moving video , to reduce it looking jittery. Interpolate on slower moving video.
There are some better de-interlacing programs out there, I believe I even saw one that analyzes the video, moves over one of the fields where needed to reduce it without to much degrading. Danny
