  • De-interlacing Question – Please Help

    Posted by Ryan Perera on March 27, 2006 at 11:49 am

    I’m getting better and better using AE and Premiere. Currently, I am making a video game montage for the newly released game Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter (Xbox 360). Anyways, Whenever I capture in Premiere and transfer the file over to AE, the footage gets de-interlaced. Now I wouldn’t mind that with any other game like Halo/Halo2, but with this game, it just looks horrible with the preset de-interlaced footage. Is there anyway I can edit my footage and save it without it being de-interlaced?

    Also another question about de-interlacing. I believe I understand the term correctly, I just want to make sure. De-interlacing fills in those lines caused by the two fields mixing together when recording from a device, right?

    I really want to get rid of them, but I don’t want to lose anormous amounts of quality.

    Some things that you might want to know…

    – Sony DV Handycam DRC-HC30
    – Adobe Premiere Pro 2
    – Adobe AfterEffects 7

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Also, Is there any format I should pick to help reduce the amount of blurriness when de-interlacing?

    Thanks,
    Oryan

    Change your ‘interpret footage’ on your file — right click in the bin — interpret footage.
    Adjust your FIELDS AND PULLDOWN until it looks good.
    Thats how I usually work — if anyone can explain the settings then I’d really appreciate it. The de-interlace filter looks like garbage.

    Dave,

    Thank you so much for that in-depth explanation, I really gained a lot of information from it. I’ve worked in professional video for years, and never completely understood the original need for interlacing! Thanks man!
