will the interlace disappear?
Hi,
I have edited a movie in fcp. I can see interlace lines all over whenever there is motion. Will these lines still be there when I use compressor and DVDSP to put it onto a dvd and play it in a dvd player on a normal tv? If so, how do I get rid of these interlace lines then, right in fcp? (NTSC monitor is not an option for me). I have tried the deinterlace filter but for some reason it makes the video look all distorted. thanks for input.Alexander Gao

Is there any way for you to watch the footage from the timeline on a TV? You should, as that will show you what it will really look like.
#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane’s Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
Audio playback should be Audio follows VideoTechinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can’t view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

Interlacing is a normal function of television. A computer monitor is different from a TV monitor. Don’t worry about it.

Let us know.
Or, how about if you play it in the built in DVD player in a mini-van and watch from the back seat…

projectors are progressive, but they deinterlace interlaced inputs.
You can use progressive sources with a projector such dvd players (carefuly set up). But unless you have alot of time and total control over the equipment, just work in interlaced video and let the projector deinterlace the picture itself.

For serious input I would use a BNC connector rather than RCA 🙂
