    Hi,
    I captured some footgae from my (new) Sony HVR 1VE, converted it to cineform HDV and edited in premiere
    after that I opened the project in AE, did some cc and exported it to photo jpeg
    I’m not that happy with the result; I made a comparison
    – exporting from premiere looks cleaner on the edges (not so aliased)
    – exporting from premiere does not have these nasty jerks (can be seen here https://www.dailymotion.com/toftof2/video/9708555)
    does anyone have a clue?
    regards,
    Johan

    AE does not work with HDV intraframe compression. Convert the footage to another codec before bringing into AE.

    Yes, I know.
    That’s why I captured the footage with NEO HDV from cineform

    HDV cameras cannot, by tape capture definition, do any reverse pulldown. Sorry that you don’t know that. Once they hit a tape and not a HDMI cable directly to computer, they blow up from 4:2:2 to 4:2:0 and chroma goes bye bye. Interlaced footage becomes blured, smirred, and melted into opposing scanlines. They create holes, gaps, and interlacing artifacts that are unusable for keying. You need pure progressive or un-artifacting transfers on digital cards or HDMI black magics.
