Thanks again! The deinterlacing during export worked. It’s a tiny bit jolty, but it’s worth it given how distracting the interlacing had been. I’m as happy with the picture as I think I will be.

The audio is ever so slightly out of sync, so I’ll try to follow the tutorial you linked to, though I had a glance, and it seems to be out of my league. I’ll slog through this weekend and see if I can make sense of it.

With much gratitude and wishes for a happy New Year,
Marisa

Ha! That’s funny. I used 2000 kbps (they only have kbps option), and good news: the joltiness went away! unfortunately, now you can see more interlacing, which is a bit distracting, and the audio is slightly out of sync–the picture is slightly faster than the sound.

There was a deinterlace option when exporting. I can try that. Not sure what’s going on with the sound though.

Hey Rafael,

Thanks for the suggestions. I used your specifications, trying 2 kbps and then 3 kbps, and I’m afraid both looked horrible–super muddy and unwatchable. I had also checked frame reordering. Maybe that did something too?

At this point I’d prefer the jolty to the super muddy. Or is there another way to play around?

Thanks again for your help!
Marisa

thanks so much, rafael! will try that now…

Thank you, Richard! I’m not very familiar with photoshop but managed to find a NTSC-sized pixel aspect ratio option in photoshop, so I used that, and it looks great!

The 2-pixel Gaussian blur worked! Thanks, all!

[Marisa Miller wolfson]

Thanks, guys! I definitely want to try it but first, a silly question: I see a bunch of blur options. Which kind of blur? Gaussian? And how do I make it 2 pixels?

Hi Michael,

I’ve been caught up with other things and just getting back to this dang filter problem.

I trashed prefs, ran a disk utility (disk was okay) and nada. I delivered the project to my colorist and tried to remove filters on her computer in FCP 6 (same as mine) and still couldn’t get rid of it. I have no idea what do do next and can’t find anyone online yet with the same problem.

Hmm…

[Marisa Miller wolfson]

Thanks, Michael!

The weird thing is that when I remove the filter, I see a visible difference in the footage–as if the filter had been removed. But then I need to render it, and when it renders, I think the filter comes back on.

Dumb question: when YOU remove a filter on a clip and then you go back and click on “remove attributes” again, is the filter still checked?

Thanks, Kai! I’ll look up how to do those.

Much obliged,
Marisa
