Deinterlacing - Jagged Edge Problem

[kristin1228]

Does anyone know how to get rid of these "jagged edges" that appear on sharp edges in a scene? I am saving as "Uncompressed AVI" in Premiere Pro with "deinterlacing" checked. These only show up in really sharp scenes. I recorded the material from the DVDs using DVD2AVI originally and edited everything in Premiere.

your deinterlace setting should be to blend fields together. it looks as tho its duplicating first or second fields. Remember when you deinterlace it reduces the hieght by half because of the removal of lower (or upper) fields unless your blending.

Also when saving it remeber to use "square pixels" not widescreen 16.9 as computer screens pixel dimention is different to a televisions. you might need to play with dimentions say 768x432 is commen for me

Also remember a interlaced image is much better then de-interlace. If played in neros showtime it will display correctly.

And finally you should use a lossless codec like huffyuv in stead of uncompressed avi. its very easy to work with.

Hope this helps..

Thank you! I think I just found the solution. Apparently, Premiere is not very good with "deinterlacing." It doesn't have a "blend" option when exporting. I just tried in VirtualDub and got excellent results - no jagged edges at all.

Inverse Telecine is the best option if you have a very cleanly telecined film and a good capture. All forms of deinterlacing introduce artifacts. There's simply no way to create one picture out of two different half pictures. It's best to leave your video interlaced if you are going to view on TV. Use a player that deinterlaces on the fly on the computer.
