Hey guys,

it's me again..sigh...........

I really don't want to edit the whole wedding again, it took me sooo long! I've tried saving the video in 29.97 (lower, upper, progressive), 23.98 (progressive), I've tried all those formats with the interpretation as 23.98 and 29.97, it just doesn't work!!!! :(

I've put up a clip here: http://www.mediafire.com/?c9d2u4s3lv2c4nv

Could someone PLEEASE have a look at it and try tell me why it just looks horrible on a dvd player?

I'm at a real loss here:( Really, really, really hope someone can point me in the right direction...
 
Can't really tell much from that file other than it's 29.97 and not 23.976.

Post screen shots of:

Sequence properties.

Clip properties.

Export properties.

Encore properties, including authoring.
 
you have blended fields, and duplicate fields

your settings don't match - so when you have frame blend on, premiere will insert blended duplicates to make up the difference between 23.976 and 29.97

if you have 23.976 content, use 23.976 sequence settings, not 29.97

what is format is your "Reception2.avi" ? straight from the camera (is it 29.97 (59.94i), or 24pA , or 24p standard)? or has it been pre-processed in some way ?
 
According to those screen grabs, you're editing on a 29.97 interlaced Sequence and exporting as 24p. That's something Premiere is going to bollux up every time -- and it will do in exactly the way shown in the file. One thing Premiere, for all its merits and improvements (which are many), simply cannot do well is convert 60i material to 24p, and because you're editing in a 29.97 interlaced Sequence, that's exactly what it's trying to do. It's treating the footage as 60i, because in that Sequence, it's how it's been instructed to read it.

You need to be cutting in a 24p-DV Sequence and exporting as 24p. Get the pulldown out of the equation and leave all interlacing (and Interpreting) behind. Work with 24p and only 24p.

Flip, I'm done so much to it I don't even know anymore. I just want to fix this video then follow the next one to an EXACT workflow:/ I'm going to try turning off Frame Blend and see what happens

Turning off frame blend won't help much. Instead of blended dupes, you have regular dupes

The problem is your mismatch - 23.976 progressive isn't the same thing as 29.97 interlaced

You might be able to salvage it by selecting all and copy & paste into proper sequence, but answer the question asked earlier first
 
Frame Blend does nothing for you here, because it's not the problem.

This is the workflow:

Shoot 24p (preferably 24pA, but it appears you didn't in this case, which is still OK -- just do 24pA next time).

Capture. No special settings necessary; just capture like any other DV.

Choose a DV-24p Widescreen sequence (if you shot squeeze).

Edit your footage.

Export as 23.976 progressive MPEG-2.

That's it. Really, it's easy-peasy. Do not deinterlace, do not Interpret, do not do anything to the footage which affects its frame properties.
 
I've got great news!:) I first tried putting it on a 24p sequence, but it didn't help. Then I turned off Frame Blend on the original sequence and it came out flawless!!:D it feels like my freaken life is complete!!:D thanks so much all of you, oh man I'm stoked:):):)
 
All you really need to do is drag the clip in question to the "new sequence" button. It will then create a sequence for you based on the attributes of the clip--no guesswork.
