New Guy Here.
Hello all. ive been eyeing this forum for some time now. i had to join based on how responsive this community is with its threads.
So, heres my problem. i use PPRO 1.5 and i shoot with a canon optura 200mc mini dv camera. i have made a few videos thusfar, however all seem to share the same bothersome trait of confused field order. my exports have that venetian blind effect only when there is any movement on the screen, and the supposed lossless quality of dv has lost quite a considerable bit of quality. if i play my raw footage straight from my camera, through a TV it looks great. I’m not sure where in the process i am screwing up, whether it is with my shooting, (should i have my camera set to a certain field order, or is that a default. or with my capturing, or finally, my exporting. Maybe i just dont know the most effective route to export my videos. most of which i wish to send to “Encore” for authoring. Thank you for taking the time to read this and offer any help to these two main issues.
(1) why i am losing so much quality.
(2) What is up with the field order. -

1. Suspect that Windows may be giving you are poor looking display in Pro’s Source window. Open a DV clip in Windows Media Player. Choose Tools>Options>Performance>Advanced…make sure Digital Video is set to Large.
Also use a TV as a preview device while editing in Pro (use your cam as a pass-thru).2. Nothing is wrong with the field order. PC monitors cannot display fields correctly…again, use a TV for previewing.

Hi Erly,
When I first installed premiere pro this problem showed up when I tried to burn the timeline to DVD. Premiere defaults to a progressive video preset unless told to do otherwise. Make sure that you choose a preset that does not have the word “progressive” in it.
One thing I did not see in your post is if you could play back video (to the camera thru firewire) to a tv and still have the same problem. If it’s messed up with this configuration then it might be something else.

Hi,
Just use the dv preset on the premiere when you open a new project. If you still see fields in your pc monitors dont worry. They will look ok on tv. Fields (venetian Blinds effect) are integral part of the video. Just make shure field dominence is lower field first every where,if your source is dv. For all other sources upper field first.
bye
