Help! Bizarre interlacing problem
Hello all, total editing newbie here — most of my background is in 3D and motion graphics. Hopefully this is an easy question.
I’m editing HDV footage that I captured in .mpeg format. When I look at the footage in my Source monitor, it looks fine, but it has crazy interlacing in my Program monitor, after I drop it into a sequence. Please see the attached image — the interlacing is most noticeable on the semi truck to the left of the frame. All of the video information is visible in the Info pane.
What’s going on here? Are my settings wrong somehow, or is it just a display issue? Thanks for your time!

Are you certain the interlacing of the media is matched in the timeline. What you are seeing in the source at 100% should reveal the interlacing, but it doesn’t appear to be showing any interlacing at all. The program monitor at 100% will show interlacing and you may be seeing the correct field information in Program Monitor and not in the source. You seem to be working in either Cs2 or CS3, I haven’t got them around atm (using CS4) so can’t see if it’s an expected behaviour in either of those versions.
It could be that the media is running in upper field and the timeline is using lower or the other way around creating an issue in the viewer.
Make sure both source and program are showing in High Quality. Draft will hide a field so the source may be in Draft Qualtiy…
