  • HDV – best method for deinterlacing

    Posted by David Del on July 31, 2006 at 4:12 pm

    I am using an FX1 and I need to present my footage as nice as possible for use on a High Def projector. I want to deinterlace and have heard of Magic Bullet, DVfilm etc for deinterlacing. After seeing some comparison, MB seems to be the winner even though it takes longer. Now, what would I purchase with Magic Bullet? Is there a stand-alone or do I need to use it through AE? Is it easy to use?

    I am just finishing a movie done in HDV and used Magic Bullet for film looks. It is great. As far as 24p, you can get good 24p widescreen from Vegas HOWEVER the secret is (if you are working with 1440 X 1080 files and the project is set there) to change project properties to 720 X 480 and ONLY THEN render out 24p widescreen. That will give amazingly good results. Rendering out from a 1440 X 1080 project will give you garbage.

    Take this post to heart and try it. It will save you weeks of messes.
