P2 Progressive Footage looks interlaced in Premiere Pro CC
I have some 720 24p footage I shot on my Panasonic HPX-170. The source file says progressive. I create a new sequence by dragging the source file onto an empty timeline to match the settings.
However, it still looks interlaced. Jagged lines and all. Even after export, it gets a little better but there are still jagged lines when there is movement.
What’s going on here?

It’s just the Pr playback on the computer screen.
View on an external video monitor.
Compress out a file and playback and it’ll be fine.Chris

Well the problem is that the primary use for this is web and we are going to show it during a presentation but it will be playing off a laptop.
I’ve found a workaround which is to export through premiere then send to MPEG Streamclip which has a deinterlace filter. That works but I’d rather not have to make that extra step.
Is there another way to export through premiere and it have it look normal on a computer? I don’t see any de-interlace filter. I’ve also right clicked the clip in the timeline and set field options to deinterlace but that doesn’t seem to work.

What I mean is: – – – Don’t judge your video on the adobe program monitor!
Export a file and play it back on the laptop or computer screen and it will look great.
Doing any kind of deinterlacing or extra compression steps are not nessesary or what you want to do.
Shoot progressive, edit progressive, you let Pr match sequence settings
You good to go.Export from Pr select your settings, I run with .h264, .mp4 HD 6000kb

I did that and it still looked interlaced. I created a new sequence…dragged a clip and matched clip setting to sequence settings. Exported H264 and it still has interlaced lines.
Not sure what I’m missing here…

So what are your settings on export?

Here is an example. After this export it still was interlaced.

Change your VBR to 2 pass.
You may just be seeing stuttering from the 24p.
Do you have pans or fast moves in the footage?Chris
-
I have done VBR 2 pass and still same results. No really fast movements or anything. Just people walking down the street. Opening doors etc…
Below are 2 screenshots. One is the export settings and the other is a frame grab from that exported file showing the interlace.

Hummmm, Now, your sequence settings match your clips?
Also, try another render with the keyframe interval set to 24.

Yes, sequence settings match clip.
I tried another export with keyframe intervals set to 24 and still got the same result.
