    Deinterlacing workflow

    Posted by Marco Salsiccia on December 10, 2007 at 8:14 pm

    How do Avid editors generally de-interlace their footage? Do you de-interlace footage prior to bringing it into the app?

    Is there a way to go from 30i to 30p from within Avid?

    I don’t deinterlace – if I need to, I’ll do it in Sorenson.

    As far as switching between interlaced and progressive, I believe you need to select that when you start your project…

    If your footage is interlaced – leave it interlaced throughout your post process until compressed.

    There’s a quick and dirty way to deinterlace. A motion effect (not timewarp) set at 100% speed + duplicated fields does this.

    Best,
