Is this Interlacing? Pictures included.

As I said early, even the poor Adobe deinterlacing quality doesn't explain your screenshot. There must be something else causing that (something you're doing with your workflow or settings).

avisynth based deinterlacers provide much much better quality than Adobe or Vegas. Bit of a learning curve to use, as it's a scripting language and frameserver.

What happened to the mini-test results? same?

Try clearing out the media cache in the options before rendering, and make sure you are NOT using preview fiels in the AME fly out menu
 
I've been doing some tests with short 10 second clips and this is what happens.

Strangely the combing is gone when I output to h.264

when I export to .wma with allow interlace processing checked I get the severe combing.

When I export to .wma without allow interlace processing checked I don't get the combing.

Isn't that backwards?

That's the way it's supposed to be

"allow interlaced processing" encodes it as interlaced

So whatever settings you are using now, should work for the main sequence
 
OK, that makes more sense. Hopefully I'll give it a shot and all will be ok. One last thing I want to bring up. In an earlier post you asked me if there was a red line above the sequence. What exactly is that for. Something to do with render preview?

Red render bar means that section has to be rendered

If it's red it usually means the sequence settings don't match, or you've added things like layers/effects that need to be rendered. I asked you about it "as soon as you placed it on the timeline" because that would tell us right away if you were using the wrong sequence settings for your footage

BTW this is all explained in the manual or the pdf help file. So refer to that for the further explanation
 
I missed the part about the red bar in the help file. But what I didn't miss is the part about the 'allow interlace processing'

Maybe I'm wrong here but I copy-n-pasted the text that made me to believe that I need to check that option.



Quote:
Allow Interlaced ProcessingSelect this option if the video content in the sequence is interlaced and you are exporting to a noninterlaced medium, such as motion picture film or progressive scan video. Deinterlacing can also make it easier to apply high‑quality effects in another program, such as After Effects. If the sequence content does not have fields, don’t select this option; instead select No Fields from the Fields option. (I can also just be misinterpreting all the new lingo)
 
Interesting. I don't use WMV (at least not using AME), but I assume the documentation is correct .

I know for a fact that exporting using AME and mainconcepts' h.264 that setting to progressive will activate the deinterlacer
 
Money !!

Money !!

After lots of reading on DVXUSER last night about Pixel Aspect Ratio I figured out a few things.

First, I found out why my h.264 renders were looking 'squeezed'

Second I got rid of the combing that was discussed in the thread. I set my pixels to 'square' and now my renders (.wma) and (h.264) are looking great!!

I'm not sure how that would take away the combing, but nonetheless it did.
