Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy Horizontal Lines

  • Horizontal Lines

    Posted by James Bishop on May 5, 2010 at 4:41 pm

    I have just finished editing a wedding and putting it onto a DVD using Toast. Whilst editing the film I noticed horizontal lines on the clips, which look worse depending on how much movement there is in the clip. This is the first time I have edited on Final Cut and I assumed this was just the norm, and that once exported and put onto DVD, this distortion would dissapper. But I was wrong! 🙁 The way I am getting the film onto DVD is to export as a Quicktime Movie and then I’ve used Roxio Toast to burn onto the DVD.

    I’d be very grateful for any advice. Thanks

    Can you post a screen shot showing these horizontal lines?

    It looks like there was a problem handling interlaced footage at some point in your workflow. Can you start from the beginning and describe your process? What was the footage shot with? How did you import it into FCP? What are your sequence settings?
