Deinterlace plug

[Rafael Amador]

Tom,
The two of them are really good. Fieldskit is mor specific about interlacing (it got de-interlacer, pull down remover and re-interlacer) and give you some options that you don’t get with Nattress (like making a ful Frame from each field). The Nattress is great and come with many interesting things in the same package.
You can make a try as well with “Smart de-interlace” of TooMuchTooSoon. Is free. Works very well if you set the “Motion sensitiviti” to the top.
Cheers,
Rafael

Rafael has some good suggestions, and I have one that is expensive. Boris Continuum Complete has pretty nice deinterlacer, but if you buy it just for that, it might not be worth it. BCC is a pretty good suite of effects. I use it a lot for Green Screen within FCP.

RevisionFX is great. I use it alot. However it’s quite slow. I find it faster in AE than FCP. Nattress is supposed to be good as well.

FieldsKit is exactly what you want, it’s as good as or better than any other. Plus it works in FCP and AE. Fantastic control.

Thanks very much!

And one more: Do a search here for it in this forum. Compression does a great job
(without just throwing away a field). It’s in the Advanced Format Conversion section.

Ed,
Yep, I have used that function with good results. I’ll have to weigh the advantages of a batch conversion of clips as opposed to a plug-in approach. I guess it comes down to which one saves the most time and quality and if it’s a tossup, the free one wins. Thanks.

What are people’s thoughts on FCP’s de-interlacer? I have used it on DV and it “appears” to work very well. When going for a look is when I’ve used Nattress Film FX, and the included de-interlacing. Both of these options are loads cheaper than Boris.

If you have FCP6 you can try the one that I do in Color too, which is smarter than the smart ones I have for FCP in Film Effects.

The built-in de-interlacer throws away information. I wouldn’t recommend it when there are other (even free) options.
