    Pre-compose the layer, then add the radial blur. basically you need to make the layer the size of the comp.

  • oh man. Shane… what is your deal? Did I insult you? did you invent interlacing? the NTSC standard? I mean why are you on my case? I’ve posted here a hundred times before and never has someone attack my post like you?

    I never gloss over any advice anyone gives me, good or bad. What YOU failed to see was what I actually said. If I saw on a TV what I saw in the quicktime I would notice. Thats what I said champ.

    Do you need to say more? Yeah chief, you do. You seem pretty smug with your knowledge of D5/interlace/NTSC standards, so why dont you tell me what Im asking:

    how is it, that a 29.97 quicktime out of a flame, that was laid off to d5 for broadcast, would play back on air, to a television, without interlace? you failed to mention that Mr. “have I said enough”. And dont say “I wouldnt notice.” If you’re an editor, and its your cut, you notice interlace, even in a single frame.

    Im coming here with an honest question. For me, it doesnt make sense that a quicktime would show two of each five frames as interlaced, and that, somehow, gets fixed through broadcast transmissions. I understand that computer monitors are progressive and dont display interlace properly, as I said that in the original post. I also understand that the layoff will play properly on broadcast tv, HD or otherwise, as I said that in my original post. What I want to know is WHY? how does broadcast split fields, and why does a computer monitor only show two fields interlaced.

    Say some more if you can. I gladly welcome your knowledge.

  • thanks guys, really –

    what I really didnt understand is how the D5 and subsequently broadcast transmission of the cut, made the interlacing work on a ntsc tv, because God knows if I saw the Quicktime version of it on my TV i would notice it looked like garbage.

    You can totally see the interlacing fields not only when its playing down, but if you go frame by frame they are wicked evident.

    I just dont understand how that translates on a D5 so that when it hits the tv you dont notice the pulldown or interlace frames.

    Solution that worked for me:

    Its a strange fix. Change your Audio and Video settings. Try switching where your audio output is going (for instance, when I get the message I switch from my Kona card to internal speaker). Refresh our A/V devices and give it a whirl.

    Not sure why it works, but it does.

    Same issue.

    1080 60i sequence. 1080 60i footage.

    Black bars above and below (letterboxed)

    Double click clip, go into motion tab. spin down distort tab. I found my aspect ratio was set to -12.5. God knows why. Anyway, set to zero and ipso facto its fixed.

    Ok… here’s what you do.

    Apply the timewarp effect to your clip.
    in effect editing mode click on the clip.
    then click on the effect editor panel
    then click on the clip again.
    THEN CLICK ON THE EFFECT EDITING BUTTON ON THE TIMELINE (the button that is grouped with the source/record and trim editing buttons)

    this will evoke the motion editing panel to pop up.

    Lame. I know.
