Question

Deinterlace and Premiere workflow (need to nail this)

In AE one sets the (field) Interpretation for footage at the source. In Final Cut 7 there is a Deinterlace filter that can be applied en masse to clips in the timeline. Neither option seems applicable in Premiere.

If I have interlace source material and a delivery spec for Progressive, it is satisfactory to edit a native seq (interlace) then on export set it to Progressive?  Or does one have to additionally go into Field Options for every clip in the TL and set it for "Always Deinterlace" ?

If it were the easy option 1 I would be surprised why so many on-line explanations suggest the time-consuming 2nd?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Hi,

I'm almost a year late replying to this thread but have just seen it.

The best option is to edit your interlaced clips on an interlaced timeline. Only add de-interlace related filters to certain clips if you have flicker problems or similar with those clips, eg flicker on slowed down clips. When you export, let the export process do the de-interlacing for you, ie leave the field order check box set to progressive in the Basic Video Settings box that comes up.

The resulting exported video file will be de-interlaced. A lot of the presets, eg Vimeo will automatically set the check box to progressive and so will de-interlace on export when it encodes the new exported file.

Hi Paul.

To get real progressive you need to enable "always deinterlace" for all clips together with the settings level in your timeline and of course export to progressive...

Thank you Florian. I just want to confirm that this is something you can only do* in the Timeline on a individual clip basis?

* "always deinterlace"

I'm hoping that is not true as it would be so much easier to apply en masse.  But if it's clip-by-clip I'll do it that way and write up a feature request.

Thanks again,

Paul

I think that you can select them all (Ctrl-A) and then right click to do that on the timeline.
