Ghosting with wrong frame rates in Premiere Pro 2

Post by Douggie » Fri Nov 02, 2007 11:12 am

I have a really old project which I started editing in Premiere Pro 1.5. As of that I didn't know much about the technical side of video and thought that progressive NTSC would be 29.97fps, because that seemed logical (2 fields for each frame - but I didn't know about 3:2 pulldown yet). So I started the project settings with 29.97fps progressive, but using 23.975fps progressive material. Well, that wasn't a problem in Premiere Pro 1.5, because it turned out looking pretty much fine.

Now, I never exported the project (while it was done) due to upgrading to a newer version of AMVapp (stupid me) and I couldn't open the project properly. Recently I decided to export the project and because I didn't have AMVapp on my new installation I installed the old version. The NLE I have currently is Premiere Pro 2.0 and while the project loads up fine, it displays serious bad ghosting when playing, because of the difference in source and timeline framerate. I noticed this after I made some changes and stupidly enough, saved the only file I had. That means that I installed Pro 1.5 after I noticed the ghosting, but couldn't open the file yet (it says that it is damaged).

So any idea how to remove the ghosting in Pro 2.0 OR open up this project again in Pro 1.5? Interpreting the file as 29.97fps (which would make the ghosting disappear) will (logically) mess up my project (even though using that and "redoing" my project seems to be the only solution at the moment)

On a sidenote, maybe CS3 is the solution?

Thanks in advance people!

Right-click on the clips, hit Field Options, and deselect "Frame Blend Speed Changes"?

Oh yeah, that is what I'm talking about! In Pro 2.0 it's just in the right-click menu of a clip in the sequence, but for some reason I never noriced it. I was more looking in the project/bin part and the user preferences.

Thanks Scintilla, this is the second time you've saved me! Now I can finally release this video!
