Deinterlacing in Premiere 1.5 and 2.0

[havash]

I've been using Premiere 1.5 to Capture HDV footage, then convert them to MPEG-2 DVD.

I thought I'd try it out in 2.0, and I use the same settings, but when I use 2.0, it has those Interlace lines. So I click Deinterlace, it seems fine then.

Anyone noticed this? I tried Deinterlace once in 1.5, and the footage came out bad.

I'm going to do some more tests, but I though I'd ask around, and see if anyone has had a similar experience.

If you are encoding for DVD, you should leave the clip interlaced. Your TV and player will fix the problem for you, and you won't have to lose quality deinterlacing in Premiere.

Yeah, in 1.5, that's what I understood. All the footage comes out good, but in 2.0, the footage needs to be Deinterlaced, the DVD player and/or TV doesn't fix it up.

Then there is something else wrong. What exactly are you seeing ?
If it is shimmering and jeky movement, check your field order. DV is bottom field first. If this gets changed to top field first you will see interlace lines and get odd image behaviour.

Go the project settings and set the correct field order. Premiere does not require deinterlacing, and it is absolutely not suggested.

I've been making field order progressive, but it didn't cause a problem in 1.5

I can't test out using different fields at the momenet, but I will when I get the chance this week.

You don't want it progressive. If oyur source is DV, it should be bottom field first.

Actually, if i understand correctly, his source is HDV....
If that's the case, then it's already Mpeg2..

The source is bottom field, your Project settings should match your source (HDV in your case), and the export should stay interlaced (Bottom Field first)...
AspectHD has a plugin to allow for better manipulation of HDV material...
Premiere Pro doesn't natively support this format..

I've exported heaps of HDV footage the past year using 1.5, using progressive, and it has all turned out wonderful looking.

Then this changed in 2.0.

Is this strange for the footage to be good if I export it as progressive?

And pijetro, in 1.5, the HDV footage gets captued in AVI, not MPEG (like in 2.0).

What would be the major difference if I got AspectHD? I am currently very happy with how my films look when I use 1.5.

I just thought I should start to use 2.0, as I am about to work on a project soon and I need to use 2.0 for that.

Is this a Sony product??
Unless there's some sort of cross conversion happening on the fly (which i doubt) i can't see Premiere accepting it as a native .AVI file.

Sorry, i'd like to help you further, but haven't lurked the Premiere Pro 2.0 forums...

You should definately go to the Adobe sight and see what's going on over there..
