Prores prob
Hi – its the first time I’ve outputed hdv as prores. It all looks great apart from the last 2 mins interview which has streaks – I’ve tried so many different way – the original material looks fine and in the FCP timeline there is no evidence of streaks. Just to try I outputed as pal version and there were no streaks (although the whole film looked less impressive) – its driving in made – can anyone help? Total film 20 mins.
What I’ve done is: exported from FCP timeline as prores then put it into compressor. When it is exported as a quicktime prores file the streaks appear and I cant get rid of them…help please!
thanks

It sounds as if you’re describing looking at interlaced output on a computer monitor. If you are creating a video for the Web that might be an issue, but if your project in for DVD or television it’s not an issue, as the interlace will not show on a television.
What is the final destination for your video, DVD, the Web, television?

Hi – thanks for your email.
It does show up on a TV as I checked. Its only the last 2 mins which is very weird. It will end up on DVD and web.
any suggestions?
thanks

Hi Barbara,
You haven’t mentioned. I guess you have shoot i50 and edit Upper First.
If doesn’t show interlacing issues in a normal TV set (CRT, interlaced), you don’t have to worry about the DVD version.
You should de-interlace the footage for the web version.
I don’t know if my friend David will agree with this.
Cheers,

hi – yes I shot it at i50 (pal). Have checked on a TV and it is visible. I’ve now tried to hide the prob by editing other images on top of the prob. It seems to be better – very confusing as everything else looks great. Weird gremlin – was wondering if anyone else had had this prob?
thanks

Everybody, when the field-order is miss managed.
Checking list:
– Make sure that all the footage shows in the Browser as Upper First.
– Your sequence is Upper First.
– In Compressor> Inspector> Encoder> Video Format, make sure you set Upper First.

hmmm interesting. thanks
I dont understand though why it appears right at the end – just when you think youve managed it.
Also can you clarify what you mean by the field order being mis managed?thanks loads
Barbara -
Check to make sure the shots at the end are not moved one line up or down in y-position or that the y-position is either 0 or an even number.

Hi Barbara,
Very often the applications have problems to identify the proper field-order of the footage.
We have to check it whatever the application we use (AE, Compressor, FC of course,..)
Bob points to an issue that I forgot to mention It *:
If you re-position your interlaced picture up or down an odd number of lines, this can cause the same effect than the “Shifting-fields” filter. This cause the picture some times look like rendered with the wrong field order.
If you re-center: always even number of lines.
Rafael -
Thank you to all who responded…complex but getting clearer (sort of)…sorry but not sure what you mean by lines…how do I fix it – how and what do I re-centre?
thanks again

In FC you can move up or down, right or left a picture in the canvas.
Some times the center of the pictures is not “0,0”.
If you move up or down interlaced footage you have to take the steps that we have mentioned.
