Interlacing problems with Premiere 6.5

[Charonis]

I've read somewhere that when authoring basic VCDs not to worry about de-interlacing if the final product will be shown on a TV, and that's fine with me.

The problem is, however, for another project I'm working on, I simply CANNOT work with interlaced video, as I am going to add special effects to the video, and if the video was interlaced, it would be near impossible to do special effects efficiently.

Is there any way to capture video without it interlacing via Premiere 6.5. I've already selected upper field first. This is what I get now when I capture...



I'm using a Sony DCR-TRV33E via Firewire/IEEE1394.

What I want is to have totally uncompressed video to edit with, so I can add special effects via After Effects, without losing video quality, and have it outputted at the end onto DVD. Also, if it is non-interlaced, and I output onto DVD, will it view correctly on TV?

Thanks a lot guys.

I'm not even gonna pick apart what you've typed..

Rule of thumb...For DVD output, don't deinterlace, or remove a field.

That's the beauty of Mpeg2. It supports interlacing, much like your TV set does..If you deinterlace, or remove a field, like in VCD's, then you're gonna be missing out on half your information...

This shouldn't have anything to do with the special effects that you add..Depending on your project settings, Premiere knows that when you add an effect, to keep it consistent, in regards to field order, and compression....

You are in throuble then.
You will have to get a new camera or go to extreme lengths
to get progressive frames.

Do read the link that pijetro provided . It's very instructive.

...also ... quit shaking the camera

The problem is (take the pic for example), if i was to rotoscope or something similar to rotoscoping, how would you do it? I know HOW to do it, but how do you do it on a frame with 4 images of the same object?

For DVD output, don't deinterlace, or remove a field

So, I should always keep to Upper Field First, right?

...also ... quit shaking the camera

Umm....the whole point is that I need fast actions for the project I'm about to start working on...going slow isn't an option.

dv from a camcorder will be bottom field first.

You can not capture interlaced video as non-interlaced. There are ways to convert it to non-interlaced. I dont know how interlaced video interacts with adobe after effects but you might wanna check the adobe forums for more info on this.
