You have to try to be more specific: Why you first put it into the editing software?
Why not immediately into AE (because I am not sure what you are editing on is a pro software).
Why exporting it into several bits? And why into wma?
People here want to help, but you need to be more specific.
Explain each step – precies – and try to give all tech specs available to you.

Hi, thanx. I did that of course as a first thing on my quest.
I figured it out by now: I was handed the material Log&Transfered in FCP – from which I exported it – still believing it was 25p. Then I imported in AE and did my thing with the TWIXTOR.
Getting the bad results – I tried to tweak everything possible in AE.
Until I got back in the process – re-captured the footage from the card as Upper Field, exported from FCP as Upper, De-interlaced it in AE and then Twixtorized it….et voila – now it works, but I definately could kill the guy who caused me all that extra sweet hours on my machine 😉

THANX, JEREMY!!!!!

Thanx, I will check this article.
But I also tried to re-log & transfer the footage again myself, since I have to original P2 Card Footage.
As far as I remember I did not apply any pull down and also the footage was supposed to be progressive originally.

Which interpret footage box you refer to ?
Where can the pull down hav come into the game?
The material was transferred by another editor before me in FCP 7 with log & transfer tool.

Hi Jim,

sorry to read the things up there…but hey Dave, please, chill out! A bit less judgmental would be great. Don’t forget – the film Monsters was shot with A Sony EX3, it’s not all about being a big player! It’s about creativity and ideas – my first short film I won a price for – I had no clue and made many mistakes of an amateur, but I still watch it today it has more heart & soul than half of the “big player” Hollywood productions out there! Why so much aggression and attacking here?

Well, to your Q: I used in many cases the MB De-noiser and got very decent results. Happy with what it did.
Just terrible long rendering times so you better be patient like Yoda or you have a machine fast like the Millenium Falcon!

Good Luck!

Need much more info: What editing software? What AVI file? Frame size, screen size & fps and so on.
What export options you have from that software?
Why into wma?

Try to be more specific about all the tech specs.

Here the footage

Same with Twixtor in AECS4

With Optical Flow in Motion

Sure, here they come:

Thanx a lot!!!

I did use the SD to HD plug in from Red Giant a couple of times and the result was pretty good.
