Exporting dv file?

[Jeremy Garchow]

Oh my gosh man. Video is interlaced. Accept it. Unless you shot 25p or 30p, you need to accept those interlace lines. You can deinterlace, but be prepared to lose resolution doing so.

Also, it customary to continue your threads where you started them instead of starting new ones for the exact same ‘problem’, which in your case isn’t a problem. It’s easier to keep track of what is going on for those following the thread.

What is the final destination of your exported file, is it for the web or TV? If its for the web you need to deinterlace. If its for playback on TV and you’re seeing the interlacing then you have a problem. Which is it???

Alright I searched your name and I see in a previous post that you are exporting 720p30 HD and trying to make an SD DVD? WHoever told you to put the HD sequence in an SD timeline and then render sort of mislead you.

You can export a reference movie of your hd timeline. Import that into compressor and select an SD preset, make sure to change the field order to progressive in compressor and encode away.

See why sticking with posting at one subject helps you? It’s nice to get the whole story instead of trying to guess what you are trying to do from a series of fragmented posts.

It’s easier to keep track of what is going on for those following the thread.< What difference does it make? I don't care if he continues a thread or posts a new one. The old one was off my screen, first time I've seen the topic. Good answer, though. bogiesan This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

Very funny, bogie, you made me chuckle for once. But this is in the same forum, same problem, and should be the same thread.

sorry for the new thread. thanks for the help. ok, im exporting dv footage from a dv timeline for use on other systems, pc or mac. what is the best quality and most universal way to export. Why does my footage look good in my canvas window and interlaced in my viewer. thanks

DO me a favor and make you canvas window 100% and turn of the show as square pixels option. See the interlacing? It’s ALWAYS there. The reason you don’t see it all the time in the canvas because that is a low resolution preview of what you footage looks like and you cannot judge the quality of the canvas window. You need to get yourself a proper hook up with a proper NTSC or PAL monitor to truly judge the quality of your footage. When you watch interlaced footage on your computer monitor, it will look bad as computer monitors are progressive displays and cannot handle the interlacing. If you are showing this on an NTSC monitor it will look great. If you need to deinterlace there are many steps you can take to get there (there’s even a deinterlace video option in the APple DVD player when you are watching interlaced DVDs on your laptop, it works alright), but I would need to know what the final delivery is going to be and if it would even be worth it for to deinterlace.
