Hi Simon,

This is Lynn, Denise’s business partner, I was right there when we found the problem and I wish I could just tell you exactly what to do but I can tell you the key that put us on the right path. One respondent said “Just make sure you’re NOT deinterlacing.” We got down the manual looked up the term and then went through all the steps checking every setting, then testing video. It’s solved now but boy what a Diva Avid can be!

Good Luck!
Lynn

Hello Jeff,

Sorry for not getting back with you sooner. I’m in the Army Reserves and been out of town a great deal.

Sure you can get a copy of the video. What’s the best way for me to get it to you? Can you copy it from this site, or do you need another format?

AWESOME!! Thank you soooo much for the info!! I did a test on the windshield wiper clip and bypassed QuickTime and exported straight to my desktop. I could then squeeze it and import it into DVDit, which is what I use for menuing ect. Burned it to a DVD and played it on a TV monitor. It looks GREAT! No lines! You have no idea how much stress this just lifted!! Thanks Jeff!

One more question for you. What is your suggestion for the best Sorenson Squeeze format to use??

Denise

Thank you for the feedback Jeff.

Actually, when I squeeze the video through Sorensen, the lines in the video look worse. When I view it on the camera, or as I said, a TV monitor, it’s fine. Only in the Avid and once exported. I’m at a loss. In ideas on interlacing settings I can change that may help?
I’ve pasted a link to a video clip to show what it is I’m seeing. The lines are toward the end of the video, in the windshield wipers. Hopefully you can view it and it give you more of an idea of the problem. Almost looks like the old VHS tracking problem.

Thanks! I’ve been using QT Ref so that’s all good. What about the setting choice for Sorenson? There’s so many different formats that I’m not sure which is best. The video I’m putting in Sorenson would be to play on a TV. Any thought?

Hello Justin,

I will check the settings you mentioned and see if that fixes my problem.

I am acquiring the footage with a Sony PD 170, SD, NTSC. I’m not sure the frame rate. I capturing straight from the camera into the computer via firewire.

[Denise Shelton]

Yeah. this is a tough one! Haven’t found anyone yet that knows what the problem is! Thanks anyway Shane.

I’ve got the same problem and can’t seem to correct it. Are you using Avid Media Composer??

Shane,

Thanks for your response! I’m working in Avid Media Composer and have
Nitris. The image I attached is from a frame in the video I copied after it was exported and put through Sorenson. What I see when the video is viewed on a TV monitor is quick distorted lines, mostly in moving subjects or pans. The lines in the image is what I found when I froze it in one frame. I do have the bubble in all green when I capture and edit. I don’t see any distortion in the view finder of the camera (PD 170)when I play it back, just in playback in Avid, on the exported video and on DVD. ??
