    Hi,

    I have footage from a handycam. After I have applied effects on to it, the egdes normally start showing some flicker. Initially I thought it was because of interlacing. So I deinterlaced the footage. But the problem still persist.

    Could I use some effect to reduce that.

    Regards,
    Anand

    which effects did you apply? and how did you deinterlace?

    if you used the interpret footage settings to separate fields, try choosing the preserve edges option (or if you have that checked, uncheck it) and see if that helps.

    I used the Hue/Saturation effect. I did use the interpret footage with the help of scanline matte. I will try the settings your are suggesting and will get back.

    Thanks for the help.

    i’m not familiar with scanline matte… but, since you used the interpret footage settings, you can also try enabling frame blending for the comp and clicking the frameblending box for the footage layer (there are two settings, frame mix and pixel motion; pixel motion is usually better, but takes longer to render)

    what frame blending will do is take image data from the field that you are not seeing (since you are setting ae to separate fields) and blend it with the other frames. this may help smooth somethings out.
