    Hi Jorrit,

    In the CS3 workflow, what exactly is the difference in result compared to just setting the right field settings in your Interpret Footage window and rendering to a progressive format?

    Thanks!

    Very nice! It is going to my presets folder :D
    But link seems to be broken :/

  • toth

    What’s the difference with the Fields and Pulldown, and setting your seperate fields to Lower or Upper Fields?

  • marcel van berk

    Hi Jorrit,

    i have the same problem, it asks for a user and PW, but this not part of the tutsplus, right?

    NL too ;)

    • marcel van berk

      hi Jorrit,

      thanks, now it worked!
      no user or PW asked.

      cheers,

    I think it’s great that you made a custom deinterlacer!
    But whats wrong if you use Interpret footage. Works great and is so much easier to use? Or am i missing something?

    • toth

      indeed, also my question. Interpret footage is much faster and only one click. Don’t really see the use of this one.

  • Sjoerd

    A really cool, a dutch person :D Finally ;)
    im dutch too
    Keep it up , nice tuts!
    greetings
    Sjoerd

    Much simpler to use quicktime pro and check the deinterlace tickbox. . . . .

  • http://luckypixel.posterous.com Treisprazece

    …..useless
    why i whant to complicate such a simple thing??????????????

    Click on file, Ctrl-F / Separate Fields/ Upper for HD Interlaced footage and Lower for DV footage.

    If you whant some nice blending make 2 compositions, one upper and one lower and composit Upper over Lower with 50% opacity.

  • Eric

    Does this guy know After Effects?? This is useless man.

    @ Eric

    Yes, “this guy” knows After Effects. Everyone who says that interpreting footage to “lower/upper field first” solves the problem doesn’t seem to understand the case.
    The solution proposed by Jorrit gives you possibility to kind of recreate lost resolution.
    Some of you just don’t care about it, but believe me – most professional artists do.

  • http://www.bartekskorupa.com Bartek Skorupa

    Oops… It seems that this is me who doesn’t understand the case. I just analyzed how After Effects deals with the footage interpreted to be “upper/lower field first”.
    I was 100% sure that it simply duplicates the lines, but in fact the program interpolates the missing lines from existing ones.

    I’d like to apologize everyone for my previous comment. I was so sure that After Effects takes the “easy way” that I didn’t even try to see how it really is.

    Hello, Deinterlacerator 2.0 won’t import into After Effects on my computer. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help!
