Hi, I'm working on a video of Comfest (free music fest) in central ohio, and I am trying to use Cinelerra to edit everything. I had been using Final Cut Express but I couldn't stand it.
So I started editing today and I noticed that all of the video had a line edge to all of the parts that had movement. This wasn't happening with Final Cut, so I am trying to figure out why the line distortion happens, if this is a product of DVgrab, or just the way that the codec interprets the video. I used deinterlace and it seems to fix the problem. Ok, so I did the proper thing and read Wikipedia and found out the glory of "mouse teeth" or tearing, but I'm still wondering the specifics of this as it applies to Cinelerra. I plan on editing this video so that it can be displayed via DVD. Should I just add the Deinterlace effect to the whole video ? Should I just assure the person I'm working with who knows less than me that this is fine, it'll be all right in the end, it's just because the video is interlaced, and not due to capturing the footage with a different camera or DVgrab and that it can be fixed with a simple deinterlace effect ? Just anybodys tips and tricks would be appreciated, if someone wants to point out a place I didn't find then let me know. Thanks for any help. robbt _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
