Interlacing woes
Currently working with 3 formats, CS5 on PC.
Footage is Mpeg from Nikon DSLR, M2T from Sony HDcam and MP4 from Gopro.
Delivery format SD
Workflow is import M2T and Mpeg directly into HDV timeline 1080i and I deinterlace Gopro shots within timeline once edited.
Because we are delivering in SD format I re-size to SD using Blackmagic timeline (using legacy Extreme HD card) upper field timeline and export file.
This file is then converted to H264 format (station request) upper-field in MPEGstreamclip.
When station imports the file there is jitter on the Gopro and M2T footage whenever there is fast movement. What am I doing wrong?

NTSC SD is typically lower-field first (486 high).

Sorry I should have mentioned we are working in PAL –

Sounds like too many steps.
Just create the SD Timeline you want to export from and edit it all there. You can check that the footage is interpreted correctly and maybe de-interlace on the timeline, but PPro should take care of the conversions.
Anyway, that’s where I’d start from. Never worked in PAL though.

I did this at first but it resulted in random movement jitter so I tried the HD timeline and then exported to SD.
Maybe it’s time to try once again – once more to the breach dear friends…
