anamorphic & ghosting/blur problem on Premiere Pro 2.0

[marcos316]

Hey I'm making a movie on Premiere Pro 2.0 and I hope there is someone that could help me out with a few questions I have.

Firstly, all of my footage is in 4:3 and I want it to be exported in widescreen to be viewed on my TV. What I was hoping for was it to appear like any HRHDTV download that has been converted to DVD, with the black bars on the top and bottom. I have made many movies before however this is my first time exporting in 16:9. When I change the Pixel Aspect Ratio from the standered D1/DV NTSC (0.9) to D1/DV NTSC Widescreen 16:9 (1.2) or even Anamorphic 2:1 and export the video it appears squished which I expect however the black bars are on the left and right instead of tob and bottom. Is this normal? when I export it to DVD and watch it on TV should it appear like any Xvid video that has been converted to DVD?

When I couldn't figure out my problem with converting to 16:9 I exported the DVD in standard 4:3 D1/DV NTSC (0.9) and watched it in my DVD player I have come across the problem of ghosting/blurring that hapens frequently in the video. At one point I had a freeze frame and a title overlay on screen, the title was fine but the free frame jitters. This is not visable in Premiere it looks the way I expect it to look, the video stops the title comes up on screen and the video just continues after that. Why does it shake after export? how can I fix it? Moving cars and, any kind of lights (sun or actual lights) or movements in camera seem to also suffer with a ghosting / blurring problem that were not visable when editing in Premiere what is the solution to fix these problems?

Thanks for any help in advance

In order to make your footage fit inside a 16:9 window you have to either have black bars running up each side, or crop from the top and bottom of your footage. A 4:3 image is taller than a 16:9 image, so you cannot simply output it as 16:9 and have it look normal. So it's time to crop or pillarbox.

Depending on what sort of ghosting you are seeing, it could be that you have exported with the wrong field order. Titles often jitter because of interlacing. You can minimise this by applying a small blur. Premiere also probably has a Reduce Interlace Jitter or similar setting that you can tick when exporting.

How much am I supposed to be cropping the video, I just did 10 off the top and bottom but will that work when exported in 16:9? If I export now im sure its still going to crop the left and right the only difference is that I would have cropped the top and bottom as well. I still have to test your solution to the blurring problem, however I found a deinterlace feature in the fields area like you mentioned. Ill try it out and see what happens the only problem is that ill have to put it on DVD again and if it doesnt work its just another wasted disk. It doesnt blur on the computer, why not?

NTSC ? 60 from the top and 60 from the bottom to give you 360 lines, then resize back to 480 lines to get anamorphic.
