Wow! I really appreciate you all responding to this inquiry!

I will definitely attempt to learn how to use compressor from here on out!

Jerry Hofmann, my sequence settings we as follows:

Frame size – 1920 x 1080

Aspect ration – – HDTV 1080i (16:9)

Square Pixel aspect, time base – 23.98

QT Video settings H.264 w/ quality @ 100%

Someone had suggested using ProRes next time…I couldn’t find it in the drop down menu in the sequence settings…would this be found when trying to export?

Thanks again for all the input (and compliments). I would like to learn a great deal more to bump up my production values.

Thank you for your aid Rafeal!

I’ve been doing alot of digging, attempting to find the right answer, and I’ve found amongst some posts that changing the speed of clips could have this affect. It just so happens that the footage that is right before the dissolve (only then does it appear “interlaced”) is at 58%.

Does this shed any new light on my dilemma?

Thanks for any suggestions!

So why when I export it as a quicktime does it show the interlacing?

And why when I watch the project it looks perfect until the dissolve comes in, and then looks great again after?

I imported my footage from a quicktime file…

I’ve never had this problem before.

All I’m getting from this forum is vague rebutles, and no specific aid. Again, I am sorry that I am not as educated on the intricacies of FC, but I am just trying to learn.

Also, it drops frames when the effect hits, is this a clue to what the problem could be?

Thanks!

Okay, so the checking “full” in the render drop down didn’t work, so I’ve attempted to find the codec…

Would it be H.264?

I’m sorry, but I just don’t understand why my footage would look great until an effect is added (a dissolve). And the monitoring is on my iMac, but I can’t see why it would look interlaced only during the dissolve…it’s not a monitor problem.

Please help if you can, I’m just trying to learn.

Thanks!

Wow! I’m sorry for my “rookie-ness”

I’ll try not to let it happen again…

The footage I’m editing was a .mov file. I’m viewing my footage through both the viewer and also have tried exporting to quicktime but it still is “interlacy”.

I’m not using an external monitor, and I wasn’t aware of different types of timelines, so I’m using the default.

BUT! I have seen that “full” was not checked in the render drop down menu, so I’m going to try that.

Again, I apologize for my ignorance on the subject…that’s why I came to you cats for help.

Thanks for everything.
