Well the problem was that I did a project with lots of video footage from all sorts of sources, some with upper field first and some with lower field first. I had to combine all this footage in a composition. The file I made was incorporated in a sort of database project with all sorts of films that were projected on a large computer screen. As a computerscreen is always progressive, the facility that processed my film, wanted it full frame. What happened though, was that (as far as I understood), it became sort of messy, because both fields were still visible and the film was stuttery sometimes and not sharp on the computerscreen.
I finally ended up using the Boris Cintinuum deinterlacing filter for all the video footage. And that worked. But at the facility they wondered whether I could deinterlace the footage at the moment that I import it into After Effects. I just saw that Shake has got that possibility and since lots of films will be projected on progressive screens in the future I think it would be a useful feature.

To clarify: I don’t mean to turn off fields in the interpret footage window and I also don’t mean rendering in full frames. I mean real deinterlacing

Hi,
Thank you for your respons. I will save it and look at it later on as I’m on very tight deadlines right now. And Gridiron is helping me very much to work a lot faster, by the way!

Hi,
AE 7 is not listed as automatic start up program. The programs that start up automatically were the power mate driver (just turned it off, don’t use it), iTunes helper and two Button Manager programs

If you work in After Effects, you can add an output module that renders only the alpha. Then use that as a luma matte in FCP

It seems that with the new driver for the Kona 2 you can output one stream with alpha and then lay it over the other stream in real time. But then you would have to output it to tape via the Kona 2. But I’m really not sure about this. But since it is a 60 minutes thing it might be worthwile to get into it

Dank je wel! I was already thinking about this new machine…. Can stop thinking now
