  • Ghost Frame Fix Needed – Disable Resample Not Working

    Posted by David Ciavarella on August 11, 2009 at 3:27 pm

    I searched around the forums for a while, but could not find the solution I needed.

    I am using sony vegas 7.0. The footage was recorded in widescreen ntsc on a canon xl2, and I BELIEVE at 60 fps.

    I want to cut it down to 24 and have the framerate of film. I have disabled resamples on the footage with the ghosting problem, but the problem persists anyway. If I watch it in draft however, there is no ghosting.

    When I up the quality to preview, there is interlacing I can’t seem to fix, when I up it to good, the interlacing is fixed but what I would describe as ghosting or some kind of artificial motion blur starts happening.

    I don’t know how to fix this… help !

    First, How does the rendered footage look?
    Render a part out first to assess it properly, using
    the various preview settings is not going to be all accurate.

    When rendered in good quality, the footage looks the same. There is ghosting of some kind. Also I should note that there is EXTRA ghosting that is removed when I turn off resample. However, as we’ve covered already, this does not remove all of the ghosting I am getting with heavy motion.

    When you right click on a clip in the time line and go to Properties, does the Undersample rate: show 59.940 fps? If so, try changing the Undersample rate from 1.000 to .4 which will conform it to 24p with a 23.976 fps. See if that fixes your ghosting issue.

    That is a good idea, I see what you mean, however, the undersample rate is not that high, it’s 29.970. Can I still change it to a different number to fix the ghosting problem?

    I’m really confused as to why the FR looks perfect in draft quality also

    I just realized that camera doesn’t shoot 60fps. It shoots 60i so the number I gave you before won’t help. I am afraid that I don’t know what to suggest.
