De-interlace for web-streaming?
Is it worth de-interlacing sequences for web-streaming? I’ve experimented with doing this, using the frame controls in Compressor, but can’t see a noticeable difference between interlaced/de-interlaced Quicktime (H264) exports I’ve done. The exports are 512×288 so medium small & hard to tell. Thanks in advance, Alex.

no.
it usually just adds extra work you don’t need to do.
only do it if you SEE interlace lines in web playback
which is pretty unlikely these days. -
[Alex Bluffield] “The exports are 512×288”… so basically, you’ve deinterlaced it already, by making your web video half size.
Amen to only doing it if you see artifacting.

You can never see interlacing in web videos because QT do not support interlaced pictures at those sizes.
Everything must be de-interlaced.
Or you do by your self a good one or QT makes a crap of de-interlacing that affect your whole picture.
At least I see a big difference.
I always do it in FC with Nattress, the only de-interlacer that works in FC in 10b.

years ago way back when cleaner wasn’t owned by Autodesk
it would produce quicktimes with interlace lines in high motion scenes.Like I said, it’s extremely rare these days, but at one time it happened.
