1: I had a quick question, so when I import the footage into after effects it deinterlaces the 60 interlaced frames to 30 progressive frames, then I add effects and stuff and render it out as 60 interlaced frames again?
Will that keep the original motion and everything, wouldn’t turning 60 frames into 30 frames, then splitting the 30 frames into 60 frames result in slower / more sluggish motion?

2: If I take a normal 30P recorded footage, and interlace it to 60i would it playback smoother?

3: Or is separating frames different in after effects somehow where it retains all it’s smooth motion

I put numbers for each question cause their kinda mixed up lol

I couldn’t figure out how to edit my post, but I just now loaded the NTSC DV footage into after effects, and when I play it back in the main window there’s no interlacing, why’s it doing this?

Thanks for those samples Ty Ford! I found the AT2020USB for about 110$ at amazon, I may even be able to get a discount to 80$ if I’m lucky so I think I’ll definitely be getting this one.

One question about recording environment though. In your samples all I could hear was your voice straight on (like radio talk shows), there was no reverb or echo. On my current microphone, when I record it sounds as if I’m in a hall, my rooms 14 by 14 or so feet, and I usually have my door shut. It might be just because it’s an omnidirectional mic but I’m not sure. How was your recording area set up?

Anyone got any idea? Still confused about this :S

Hmm, I really want to get to the bottom of this, my project framerate and video framerate were the same.

Here’s what’s going on [I took screen shots of Best/Preview in the preview window]

Best / Good [Full]

Preview Full

note: It doesnt matter if its full/half or anything it does the same thing, and when I render with Best/Good it causes that frame tween effect you see on the first shot, but only on fast motion shots usally

Here’s the properties box of project settings and the clip

I recorded the clip with Fraps at 29.970FPS progressive, right now its zooming out kind of fast. [it seems to only happen on fast motion, maybe it’s trying to add a motion blur?]

I’ve had this problem on DVD ripped footage also, so it’s not confined to this game clip.

This is what is in the Vegas manual under render settings:

Choose a setting from the drop-down list to set the quality of the rendered video.
Unless you have specific performance problems, choose Good. Choosing Best can dramatically increase rendering times.
Good uses bilinear scaling without integration, while Best uses bicubic scaling with integration. If you’re using high-resolution stills (or video) that will be scaled down to the final output size, choosing Best can prevent artifacts.

I’m not sure if it’s suppose to do that to your footage, but I’ve taken already filmed footage before from a movie to play around with in Vegas and when rendering on best it altered big time from the original source, all of the fast parts had that frame tween effect you seen.

This has been keeping me from rendering everything at Best/Good for a long time, I’ve always used Preview and I really don’t notice any degrade in the video between Preview and the Original. I wish they could list what Preview does in the Vegas manual as opposed to Best/Good

I seen on this forum a guy selling 1 min videos of basic transitions between same themed pictures and a music track with some transitioned lines of text, he was whipping them out for 20$ a piece to people left and right and I thought it was kind of a cheap price from what I heard videos go for (I’ve never actually edited for money, really confused about what to charge I see different prices everywhere, just trying to find a right price before I promote my service to anybody. I’d hate to charge 400$ on a 1500$ job :S) anyway that’s why I asked here, here’s an example of a video he did https://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&hl=en-GB&v=qcTjbgSE_5I

I’ve been holding 2 different water bottles up comparing different angles for like 10 minutes trying to understand this rule lol.
I just watched this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXldafIl5DQ (The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly Finale) and they did it a few times there, but it all seemed to work out. Quick question: at 3:02, to 3:12 in that clip are they breaking the rule? Or does the line always start from the width of the presented scene? (Curious about this because I thought the line would be from eye contact to eye contact no matter how their placed) Argh so confusing.

The goal were trying to reach is to make the footage flow together right? I watched a few videos with the rule being broken constantly and it was hard for me to keep up with what was happening, then I watched a video where it was being done perfect and it seemed easy to keep up with.

I have a video I made where a guy is riding a bike, it has a view of his back and he’s on the left side, then a view of his front but he’s on the right side, is that bad to do? It seemed to cut smoothly I didn’t notice any jerks

Hey, sorry to bump an old topic, but I was wondering this.

I heard if you use 30 seconds or less of a copyrighted song you won’t get in trouble, that’s what radio stations do for their openings and stuff, but I’m not sure if it applies for video and getting paid… Actually I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t apply, if I saw 30 seconds of my copyrighted song on a commercial I’d be so hitting the big red sue button located on my wall

[John Frank]

Woah, thanks for that! AE just gets better and better.

[John Frank]

I tried the fast blur and I got 6 frames every second (note: When I press numpad0 (ram preview) it renders the preview that slow, but after it’s loaded it plays back fine)

I’m using uncompressed / lagerith lossless files, just was wondering if it was normal for my computer specs lol

anyway this program rocks! I was watching some of the tutorials on the adobe site, and wow it’s limitless
