Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Combing Issue with mixed footage

  • Combing Issue with mixed footage

    Posted by Aryn Leigh on March 22, 2016 at 9:32 pm

    Hi all-

    Hopefully this is a quick fix. We shot some action footage last week with two C100’s, using a Ninja to convert to ProRes 422. One, a Mark ii, was improperly set to record in 1080i, which we discovered during import. (whoops!)

    When we render out the mixed footage on the timeline, we get a big fat combing effect on the interlaced shots- even when I try and interpret the footage to progressive (both in the project window and in the timeline.)

    Here are our Premiere CC settings:

    Editing Mode: DSLR
    Frame Rate 29.97
    Size: 1920×1080/ Square pixels

    We are on a late 2013 iMac using El Capitan, if that is useful.

    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    You should keep your footage interpretation (project window) as native… If premiere is misinterpreting the native field scan set it manually to interlaced (upper field)… Then edit in a progressive sequence…

    Wow, that worked like a charm! Thank you! 😀
