Some Quality Issues [interlacing problems]

ive been tampering around with different export setting, trying to get my video looking as best as possible, while still be downloadable. It seems i have some interlascing problems on some of the effects i used. I used the premiere flicker remover, but the interlacing still is present. I was wondering what kind of passing setting on which codeci should use. This is not my area of expertise. but any advise on the best export setting would be great.

whoooooooooow!
Deflicker is a Constant Brightness Filter; your looking for Deinterlace itself ^^

In the project or export settings, under one of the last menus, there is an option for field order. Set it to no fields.

Zar is right. Its a simple thing to miss and stuff up. I had "Top Field First" enabled for my "Cowboy Bebop - Responsible For Genocide" (which I'm gonna re-do and then upload) video, and whenever it fades it does a scanline effect. Looks kinda cool.

Does it matter if you're layering a couple of clips on top of each other? I've run into the same problem, but I've been de-interlacing with both premier and the div-x codec. The video still comes out looking horrible. I'm using a pre-edited .avi as the base layer (that's the layer I right-click on to enter the "no fields" option), and mpeg-1 quality clips for the overlaying layers (those I leave alone except for some filters). I was expecting to take a quality hit on those segments with the overlays, but instead I get these huge field distortions.

I guess it doesn't really matter, I finished that particular video up and deleted all the source footage. I don't own premier anyway, just was borrowing it for this project. Can I use the Div-X codec by itself (through another editor) to try to clean up that interlace a little? The video doesn't look completely horrible, but it's annoying to see those lines pop up every few segments when I wasn't intending for them to be there. Also, anybody have a spare goat I can sacrifice so that my dial-up will actually hold a connection long enough to upload this file?

The best option for editing interlaced footage is to not edit it at all. Use a program like virtualdub or DVD2AVI to deinterlace your source, then import and use it as progressive footage.

How about no, just IVTC it?

IVTC drops a lot of frames (animation frames at that) when used with non-film footage. (Which is most noticeable in scenes with lots of panning.)

This is specially noticeable with fansubs that are ripped straight from DVDs using IVTC unlike fansubs that are captured live from TV at 23.976frps.

You get a jerky-jerk feel everytime you see something pan or zoom because frames get cut-off.

Considering that IVTC drops frames because FILM only need 23.976fps to show a progressive video...you're a moron.

He said non-film material.
