Ok last thing I promise: [sort of :)]

Why then does the original footage look fine when rendered out of premiere pro before going into after effects? [just using media player classic to view it]
When the footage is interpreted with interlacing, and rendered without interlacing it looks as far as I can tell fine [on my monitor] once again with media player classic.
Only once I’ve set after effects to render with interlacing that it becomes visible [including the interpreted interlace]. Which you can also see in premiere.

It just seems to me that I shouldn’t be interlacing the footage for the render out of after effects, but once it’s gone back into premiere pro I need to set it back to interlacing [and once again it looks fine].

I want the footage to look clean on pc monitors as well as tv screens.

[I remembered I once rendered something out of premiere and I forgot to include interlacing, the footage looked slightly blurry.]

Many thanks for the help, I guess I was only confused because of the playback being odd.
I prefer to work without interlacing anyway, but magic bullet takes a heck of a long time to deinterlace 25mins of footage 🙁

[Roboday]

Ah yes thats sounding more like it.
Well the Steadymove pro plug in effectivly zoom’s into the image a little bit, once its steadied the footage [to remove the resulting black boarder].

So import it with fields, but export it with non.

I also just tried this out:

Rendered from Prem – with interlacing, then rendered from AE without interlacing set in the render dia, then imported back to prem, rendered out with interlacing this time… looks fine on the players that were displaying bad interlacing from AE originally.

When I say BAD interlacing I mean its hideous, when the original footage you couldn’t even see it.

Yeah its lower first for PAL.

Right its annoying not being able to tell what is playing it properly.
I’ll try and play it on a TV [the only way I can do that is by making a DVD at the moment].

It may not be the same thing BUT, today when I went outside with the HVR Z1E, i had a battery that said around 70mins time left…was outside for a few mins and it just shut down and wouldn’t start up again…swapped the battery and it was fine.
get a scarf for the batteries 🙂

Yes it does shoot widescreen in all modes if you want it to.

Anyway, turns out premiere pro cant deal with the footage properly, however after effects can, so from now on i’ll just be compositing even tests with AE.

So its cool, I figured it out.

[Roboday]

I shall give that a whirl to.

“a composition is worth 1000 words”

I certainly agree, however your explaination was good too 🙂
I look forwards to checking out your file.
