Strange Artifacting MC5
Hi Everyone
I was wondering if you could help me. I have recently upgraded to Avid MC5. I was mid way through editing an SD project ( the raw files were AVI that i converted to MOV for my mac.) Everything was fine with MC4 but since upgrading I have noticed a tone of artifacting on my footage ( particularly when there is alot of camera movement). The artifacting is not on the raw footage ( both AVI or MOV) and this problem also does not occur when I import the same footage into FCP does anybody have any ideas?? I am tearing my hair out .
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
P.s
I am in full green mode and also my project setting have come straight from my last MC4 project that worked fine.Thanks

How are you editing the footage? Via AMA or did you import/transcode? I’m not sure if that would make a difference or not but you may want to try transcoding a few clips if you haven’t already. And what kind of artifacting?
-
The footage is imported and transcoded as MXF. The artifacting is horizontal lines ( between 4-6 ) that flash up on the screen when there is any camera movement. The faster the worse it gets.

It sounds like a problem with field order. What are Avid import settings for field order?
-
I have it set as bottom field first. However im I right in thinking that it is not possible to change the field order after import. I have already finished the full edit on MC4 with no problems. It only since the upgrade that this problem has started

Well you could try deinterlacing in mpeg streamclip (free download) or compressor once you’ve exported.
