Neoscene V5, Premiere CS4, deinterlacing problem

[Clemens Sauerwein]

Hello there!

I am using neoscene V5 to capture footage from my Canon XH A1 (HDV 50i).
Until now i told neoscene to deinterlace while capturing, but when I import the files into Premiere CS4 (using these timelinesettings: Cineform Tech Blog Blog Archive Setting up Project and Sequence Settings in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 (Windows)) i get deinterlacing artefacts (jagged edges) on moving shots and objects. The timeline is set to progressive as is the footage, so why would I get these jagged edges?
Any input would be appreciated.

Cheers

anybody got any clues for me? pretty please...

Have you filed a trouble ticket? Hard for anyone to help without samples, so you should go through support.

Best is to use a sequence setting that matches your footage which is HDV 1080p25
Check if Premiere interpretes the footage correct.

Hmm ... that means i do it totally wrong ...

My footage is 1080i - but i capture it through HDLink and click Deinterlace.

It means that i would have progressive footage ... right ..

After that i open a new 1080i project and import the clip ... and so on ...

So this means i do it wrongly - i should use an 1080 25p project right ?

Yeah if you are deinterlacing it through HDLink then 1080P project. I'd keep it 1080i and dont deinterlace it through HDLink because you don't know when you might need the footage interlaced down the line. If you leave it standard you always have the choice of interlaced or deinterlaced (P) footage. So for that example 1080i preset.

Thank you David. It seems that i have been wrong all this time ...

From now on i will do it right :)

I agree leave everything interlaced. Only deinterlace on export for the web.

That's my experience as well. I've come to the conclusion that it's best keep the footage as it was shot (i or p) all the way thru post production until a particular delivery format finally forces me to make a change- like 60i for BR, or 30p for web, etc.
