I can watch the files just fine on my computer before I they go through PP CS4.

I’m using the canon HFS-100.

I do you work with your files in premiere? Your the first person I’ve talked to that is using a similar camera.

[Mark Havens]

I’m using cs4.

Maybe that is where I am going wrong.

When I’m rendering the videos I’m getting horrible interlacing issues, I mean it’s like there are lines on the movie or something. And it looks really bad when there is movement.

Do you thinking it could be that I’m importing it the right way but when I export it I over working the film or something by choosing a high quality format agian?

It just seems that I cannot figure out how to remove the interlacing issue. I know that my source footage is perfect because I can view, but after I put it through premiere it looks bad.

I will also export in the Mpeg-2 format like you mentioned and see what I get.

Thanks!

Here are the specs on the video:

Type: H.264
Image Size: 1920×1080
Aspect Ratio: 16:9
System Bitrate: 18.00 mbps
Video Format: H.264
Video Bitrate: 16.00 mbps
Frame Rate: 29.97 fps

I don’t know my system specs, but when I don’t have the video in premiere I can play it if that helps at all.

I do know that my system sucks and I’m actually waiting for my new one to come in the mail.

Thanks for the help! This is all pretty new to me so is that software that you mentioned just a Avchd converter? Or is there a little more to it then just that?

I noticed that it does something with the 24p mode, which I shoot in.

Is there another software out that will do these same things?

Thanks in advance!

Dang.

Ok, I’m going to sell my camera, and get another less high tech one.

Are there different level of hd footage?

I want to do hd but is there a “lower class” of hd?

[Mark Havens]

Ok, that makes a little more sense to me. I was try to export it as a mpeg2 blu-ray. I will render it again and note all the settings I have and see what I get.

I want to do a blu-ray quality render so what should I do?

Thanks for the link I was able to get through some pages tonight but I will have to pick up tomorrow as I’m getting too tired to read off my comp.

But here is something that might help I’m think with the problem that I am having.

Canon advertises “24p” capture with this camcorder, but notes that all modes (60i, 30p, and 24p) are actually captured as 60i. This is a source of great confusion thus far, and I am interested to learn how best to edit footage captured in one of these “pseudo-progressive” modes. Editing programs like Premiere depend on recognizing whether source material is interlaced or progressive, and it is unclear how best to handle the modes Canon is employing with this camcorder.

I will do another test render with the higher rate that you mentioned earlier and see what I get.

Thanks again for the help. I think CreativeCow might be a place me 🙂

Thanks Brian for the fast response.

Your thinking that it’s that simple of an issue? That will be great if it is!

But if I want the video to look clean and clear then I need to use one of these setting on the camera your saying?

FXP (17 Mbps) 4 hours 10 minutes – Allows 1920 x 1080 Full HD Recording
MXP (24 Mbps) 2 hours 55 minutes – Allows 1920 x 1080 Full HD Recording

I know that it’s saying that at these rates that it allows for full hd recording but shouldn’t all the setting be an Hd image? I know that this is getting a little off topic for Premiere but it seems the issue was I didn’t have the right settings on for my camera.

Since I did record in the LP (5 Mbps) what export setting do you think I should use to get the picture to look perfect? I’m thinking at this point that I will not get an HD video but what do you recommend I export it as for the best picture result.

Thanks again for the help it really means a lot!
