  • Horizontal lines across moving subjects?

    Hi Guys

    I have some footage that I’ve captured on to AE, all of which I used a tripod to shoot. The stills and backgrounds are fine but anything moving has horizontal lines around the edges, is there anyway I can elimate the lines?

    Sounds like you may be referring to the jagged edges that are normal with interlaced footage … check AE’s interpret footage settings to make sure the footage has been interpreted correctly (i.e., interlaced or non-interlaced, etc.). You can de-interlace the fooatge if needed depending on what you want your output to be, but if it is supposed to be interlaced, it will look fine on a TV so de-interlacing may not be necessary or appropriate.

    To add to what Dave said:

    You should be separating fields when you import interlaced footage.
