I'm going to kill something... (Interlacing problem)-Solved

[Songbird21]

Omg. I seriously wanna tear my hair out. This worked the last time I did it, dammit.

I'm trying to deinterlace (The damn thing is progressive footage. Premiere Elements 9 just seems to like to put in interlacing on every frickin' fade) my huffy of my FMA: Brotherhood vid so I can post the damn thing on this site. The problem is my deinterlace filters don't seem to be working. Here is the script I'm using:

AVISource("C:\Users\Wendy\Documents\Quicksilver Studios\Finished Vids\Huffys\Untitled_1.avi")
ConvertToYV12()
TFM(slow=2)
TDecimate(mode=1)

And the damn thing STILL winds up looking like this:


I really wanna post this vid. If you can suggest a script change or if you happen to know how ta get PE9 to stop adding the damn interlacing please help.

Honestly, I think it's a better idea to get premiere to stop doing that instead of fixing it afterwards, especially if it's only doing it on fades.

If it's only happening on fades, then my first suggestion would be to make sure your project settings have the field order set to "No fields (progressive)".

umm .. just a "wild" thought here; De-Interlace "blend" won't work if
your dvd decriptor didn't do its job correctly .. do you remember
what its settings were -- by some chance?

The source is progressive, the issue is introduced by her NLE. Did you even take the time to read her post?

Anyway, I'll echo Bashar and Scintilla's posts: definitely see if you can get Premiere Elements to output progressively, if possible. If however it is limited and won't behave, I guess this is the sort of thing you could just try to fix with vinverse in avisynth.

I would, but PE9 doesn't let the user edit most of (Including field order) the project settings manually. Which pisses me off greatly.

What's vinverse?

[mirkosp]

It's an avisynth filter that is meant to be used to fix leftover combs, especially in fades, hence why I think it would be somewhat appropriate in this case.
Download
Same old story: unzip and place the dll in your avisynth plugins folder (inb4 autoloading haters post about how you should be loading it manually).

Can you suggest a starting script for me try? I'm not good at working out my own scripts.

You just call it as vinverse() after doing IVTC (which you already are doing).
