It turns out that this was not a bad dub. I had it copied at 3 different places. Finally a tech place knew the problem. Previous to 1990, machines read with a field 2 dominance, not field 1. We changed the fields, but then the action went backward between fields. We used Flame, but could not remedy it. I then tried Adobe AfterEffects, but we are not experts with it and could find no solution.

So I am working with it as it is. We cut out the edits in between as much as possible (music and dialogue prevented some) and since it is only 1 frame, it is unlikely most would see it.

Thanks for all the comments and help.

Thanks for your insights. We are trying to re-dub this now, because I think the original dub was bad. I finally found another company with a 1 inch machine and am waiting. There are very few where I live (near Portland, Oregon).

The “ghost” images only show up on the edits, because you cannot see them on the regular frames, although they are there. They show up as one field from the previous cut superimposed on one field of the new segment. They flash on the edits, and if nothing else, I will take them out. However, the problem is that this is a feature length drama, and the music is over much of it, leaving a hole in the music. Where the music is, we will just leave it and hope the flash is not too noticeable, as I have no other choice if the new dub does not fix the problem.

Thanks for the info, but how do we compile and run this script in Vegas?
