HDV interlace and frame size problems in PP2
Hi there.
I recently shot a film on the sony z1. Captured into PP2 as 1080i. On playback i get horrible interlacing lines all over any substantial movement (which is a lot). I can solve this by using the “Field Interpolate” effect. Is there a way around this as I don’t see why I should have to place an effect and render it on every clip in the timeline on a 20 minute film. I have tried the “field options” options but they seem to have no effect on the footage.
Another issue I have is that the footage was captured as 1440×1080. Im looking at a widescreen monitor in PP2 which is fine but when i export anyfootage or create compositions in After effects7 with it I get a 4×3 image that is letterboxed (has black bars at top and bottom)with the widescreen image in. why is this?
And also (its getting a lot now I know) PP2 has stopped exporting “uncompressed miscrosoft avi” which I believe to be the best thing to export hd into after effects etc right? it will export it but all you see is black and occasionally some green pixels. Media player will play but VLC will not which is incredibly rare.
I know I’ve asked alot but any help and clarification on these issues would be great as I have to show the director soon!! Argh!!
Thanks a lot
Paul

Your first issue: (I’m guessing from your resolution that you are working in HDV), you should be working with upper field first. Try right clicking in the timeline and invert the field dominance.
As for the black video / green lines, etc, you are probably exporting as 8 bit or 10 bit uncompressed, which can usually only be seen by other Adobe products, or with use of an AJA board. To use the old AVI uncompressed export method, in “General”, choose Microsoft AVI (Not “uncompressed Microsoft AVI”), and in the Video tab, choose compression “none”, and uncheck the recompress option at the bottom.
Cheers,
