Why deinterlace video final cut pro

Last edit: by VTC. Hi Davis, Thank you for your detailed posts. Although most people don't have to deal with interlaced source footage anymore fortunately , this information is very helpful. It is correct that any auto-conforming of interlaced footage in a progressive timeline will lead to loss of resolution due to the basic method that is being used line doubling. If you don't need to do anything else to the video, this may be acceptable. But when you need the best possible deinterlaced quality for further processing, your method is perfect.

Setting Field Dominance to Progressive in a progressive timeline will make every field available for proper deinterlacing using advanced tools such as Fieldskit, which give you far better deinterlacing options and even motion estimation. The resulting "progressive" footage will be more solid for further processing. Using Fieldskit than export and re-import? Does a great job. Last edit: by Fcp my bread and butter.

Hi Larry, First off, thank you so much for this post! The footage is SD x from a canon xl1. Any help is much appreciated!! Thank you again for posting such great content. Best, Rob. This way, you have the highest quality image possible edited and saved for the future.

Then, remove interlacing during the compression stage. Compressor is good for this, as is Adobe Media Encoder and other compression applications. Can anyone tell me where the deinterlace option is located in FCP X Still trying to find things with the new menu layout! If you need to preserve interlacing, make sure the project, itself, is interlaced.

For example, a i project is interlaced. A p project is progressive. Hi Larry! Your articles have been a great help — exporting from FCP x for a Singapore Boradcaster and they need the master in an interlaced format.

This should be fine — but running a quick test to make sure is always a good idea. Deliver a sample video to your broadcaster ahead of deadline and make sure it meets their specs. All SD formats are actually upper field first, at least in Europe. Even the digital formats, like D1 or DigiBeta, are all upper field first.

This one has been engineered for not real reason as such, and when you transfer data between tape and computer, you keep this lower field structure. But if you decide to digitize your tape with a regular VCR, thru its SD video output, then your dominance will be the one of your video board, that is in general upper.

That means that a DV thru firewire will stays lower, but a DV digitized with regular board will become upper…. Best, Rob. Hi Bret, Thanks for the post. Re: your point that outputting to mp4 will deinterlace, will the interlace still be taken off when outputting to the highest quality possible? This footage will eventually be seen on larger screens, so I want to make sure the interlace artifacts are resolved. Thanks so much for the help! First of all, Rob, forget everything that has been suggested.

To start with, what is the camera these clips were recorded with? Hi Gary, Thanks for the help. The camera I shot the footage on was a canon xl1.
