an "interlaced" version....are you referring to the breaking up of the image when it shows things that move faster on camera? I swear, every time I export an HD video, I make sure to check "deinterlace" but it seems to do no good. I also try playing with the data rate. This video was set to 4000 I believe. I should go higher?

The voices are from a podcast I subscribe to on iTunes called "The Hollywood Saloon." You should check it out if you're into podcasting. Very informative stuff.

I'll check that out.

Yes thats what I was talking about. Although last night I had edited a video that did the same thing no matter what settings I did. What I had done differently was took my original HDV MT2 clips and rendered them to a Cineform AVI (it gave way better realtime preview in Vegas)and then edited the video but no mater what I did I got those same lines.

I started all over with just the original MT2's and it was fine.

Im not sure what program you edit on but see if there is a field order which I set to none and a frame blending mode which I usually set to interpolate in Sony Vegas.

I usually put my bitrate at 5mb or if it has lots of motion I do 10mb.

Hope that helps

Well...it helps a little but I'm not using Vegas. I'm using Final Cut Express 4 and just exporting right from there. Maybe I should just export a self contained movie file next time and then import that into a program like VisualHub and do my compression there. I didn't even think to do that this time...hmmm...I wonder

PS - I keep getting email after email of your same comment on this video. But it's not posting. Weird.

yeah, use VisualHub... thats what I use. You can interlace from there.

sweet thanks Blake. Im a bastard for not doing it that way the first time

Yea...I guess it's happening to some other people too. I posted this on the "bugs" forum. your emails are still coming in. Every few minutes I have to go in and delete your messeges or my mail will fill up. haha.

I seem to have stopped getting them now

yea me too...

I did color correct. Just used the basic color corrector in Final Cut Express 4

Well it looks really sharp man! Good work! I really need to upgrade my equipment to HD.

From what I can see in your photo, looks like your using an XL1, right? Still a great camera but the future is HD for sure.

Yeah, I've only used the Xl1 on a project or two and a Sony Z-1U for a documentary (non-HD). The camera I currently own is a GL2. What did you shoot this video with?

A Sony HDR FX1 which I am totally in love with.

Thanks, it's Bones too by the way, and yes, Explosions is pretty sweet :)

Thanks. Yeah, When I heard this I suddenly realized that what I was editing went along to everything they were saying. Plus it kind of goes with what I've been doing recently with my videos, just testing things out, molding a technique.

Handy info, Mark. Thanks. I'll keep that in mind

NO REMYYY@!!!! thank you :)

Why thank you :)

Thanks Arnold. The Villages. Lake Sumter to be exact

Thanks a bunch. Yeah I was listening to this podcast from the "hollywood saloon" and thought how what they were saying was so perfect to what I was editing. Love your tutorials by the way. You make it fun to watch while keeping it really informative. So for that I thank you! More please :)

Thanks a grand J.R. I appreciate the support though I can't help but call you out on my "attention to lighting..." I know nothing of lighting to be honest :) I've used all available light for most....all of my stuff. That's one thing I really do need to learn is 3 point lighting. I DO get meticulous, however, with framing and setting.

It's a jot to have you here with us "vimeons" and I can't wait to see what you've got up your sleeve :) Cheers friend!
