Still getting horizontal lines in video when exporting to 720x480 AVI with "deinterlace" turned on

Hello again fine professionals,

I'm using Premiere 6 on a Windows 7 machine.

I'm still getting horizontal lines in my video when exporting to 720x480 AVI, even with "deinterlace" turned on.

I had a question about it on another thread and robodog2 said it was interlace file lines that don't appear when using a progressive file export choice...

http://forums.adobe.com/thread/852077

So I found the "Deinterlace" check box via "Export Timeline>Movie>Settings>Special Processing>Modify>Deinterlace", but whether or not I have that box checked, I still get the horizontal lines.

Below are the screenshots of the same base video before importing in to Premiere to get a reverse effect, and after I saved the resulting 720x480 AVI file... the final file appears with the same horizontal lines whether or not Deinterlace is checked.

The lines are even more prominant when viewing the video in Windows Media Player than they appear in these screenshots below... the lines actually have very prominent edge characteristics.  The lines look like an old TV sometimes used to when the antenna wasn't getting good reception.  Also, I'm saving successfully via the "Export Timeline>Movie" path by using different codecs (this is no longer a file generated from previewing, as I was talking about in the previous thread on this topic)... so I am sure of all of the settings with this version and I'm getting this result with three different codecs, with and without the "Deinterlace" box checked... I had the same experience over and over last night while working with a different file too.

Does anyone know what is causing this?... please see the images below

Thanks,

    Have you solved this problem? I have the same thing happening on my Windows machine.

    I'm running CS6 and I'm getting horizontal lines on rendered out movie.

    I've saved the short movie I made as a MPG4, MOV, H264 file and still the horizontal lines.

    I shot a bunch of footage with a Sony FS700 (MTS files) I got ahold of Premier pro and imported the footage, added some music and tried exporting the film. But I get the horizontal line issue.

    The footage looks good in Lightroom and in Premier Pro during editing but upon export the horizontal lines start showing up.

    Forgive my ignorance if the answer is simple and in the archives somewhere.


    Hi David,

    Yes, I finally did solve this problem based on a coincidental comment on another forum.  On a different forum a guy once mentioned the "NO FIELDS" setting within the "Rendering Options" in the "Export Movie" dialog when I'm exporting my movie to an AVI file, as seen in my screenshot below.  Otherwise, I think that setting was defaulting to "UPPER FIELD FIRST".

    Mostly I was getting those terrible horizontal lines when I exported graphic effects that I had created with imported Photoshop layers in to my movie projects... in those kinds of exports the horizontal lines were much worse and far more obvious than if I was simply exporting a project with actual video that I had imported in to my project.

    But still, even with imported video, like the sample images that I posted on this thread, even then I could see the horizontal lines.

    So some guy on another forum mentioned something about the "NO FIELDS" setting in my export dialog.  It relates to something else about deinterlacing that is better for this problem than the "UPPER FIELD FIRST" or the "LOWER FIELD FIRST" settings.

    As can be seen in my screenshot below, that's the setting I'm talking about, but I was using the old Premiere 6 from around 1999, and the export dialog options in the newer versions of Premiere are different.  The guy on the other forum who mentioned that setting, which ultimately solved my problem, said that setting was different in a newer version of Premiere that he was using, but I found that setting in my "Export Movie" dialog, and that solved the problem.

    It was so simple, and I went through so many things to try to solve it, including running my files through other apps to try to pre empt the problem, and none of it worked... it just turned out to be THAT simple "NO FIELDS" setting and that solved the whole problem.

    Premiere 6, and some newer versions of Premiere, seem to have other problems, like creating an oblong, egg shaped rotating image from a round graphic after importing it and applying a rotate effect, but otherwise, once I figured out that horizontal lines solution, I did pretty well figuring out a lot of things in that old Premiere, and I got pretty good results.

    Viel Gluck!

    What avi codec did you use.

    Best i to use the DV NTSC under the Microsoft AVI format.

    Hi Ann,

    I don't have that codec available through Premiere at all... below is a screenshot of the available codecs that I have showing up in Premiere.  I tried three of them last night... the CamStudio, the MSU, and the Microsoft Video 1.

    Today I found the WMV export dialog and I am able to save to WMV successfully without any horizontal interlace lines, but I don't think the WMV is as sharp as AVIs that I've got with other profiles that I've used successfully in Premiere 6 that resulted with no interelace lines in the past weeks.  Those were saved with a custom 856x480 profile that I created in Premiere for a different project... my current project is in 720x480.

    Thanks,

    digi

    No wonder its bad, not a very good codec.

    Try using Lagarith or None, mind you they will be large files. Uncheck Recompress.

    I find it strange there is no Microsoft dv codec.

    I do not know if there is a way to get the codec.

    However i do know Mainconcept has a DV codec but its not free.

    There is also a Panasonic dv codec, but i have been reading you cannot install it op W7.
