    Hello, and Moo to all,

    Can someone tell me what the problem with this video is?
    Needless to say it looks fine in the camcorder window (as it probably should at that teeny size) – but when I import to Premiere Pro and playback it looks like this?

    Puzzled!

    above is a link to a still from the video.
    Thanks in advance.

    It looks interlaced to me. The images in the background are not moving or hardly moving, but the hand moving from side to side and the red tomato is making it more evident of the video being interlaced.

    Your monitor will show lines from interlaced footage and not on a regular TV because TV’s traditionally display data as interlaced.
    Your Computer Monitor is displaying images as progressive and therefor you can see it.

    If you recorded it as interlaced footage on the camera then you could try de-interlacing it, but be warned that the quality will diminish.

    Try playing the image back on a normal TV and see what happens, If it is meant for computer display, then you will probably need to de-interlace it.

    Jeff,

    Many thanks for the response. I will try to de-interlace and see how it looks on a monitor, and also play it through a TV.

    regards,

    Peter

    Don’t deinterlace for the DVD/TV viewing that’s meant to be there for TV only deinterlace for web!

    Thanks to Jeff and Jon,

    It was indeed the interlace / de-interlace setting.

    It plays fine now on my computer (de-interlaced) and fine on the TV playback (interlaced).

    regards,
    Peter
