Deinterlacing
Removes the effects of interlacing. However, if you need to deinterlace video, it’s recommended
that you use the controls in the Frame Controls pane, instead. The deinterlacing controls in the
Frame controls pane provide better quality than this legacy filter. For more information, see
on page 172.
The (legacy) Deinterlacing filter contains the following controls:
•
Algorithm: Choose one of four deinterlacing methods from this pop-up menu:
•
Blur: Blends the odd and even fields together. This setting gives more importance to
temporal data and preserves motion better, but because individual frames consist of a
composite of both frames, they don’t look good when you pause playback.
•
Even: Keeps the even fields and ignores the odd fields, avoiding motion blur.
•
Odd: Keeps the odd fields and ignores the even fields, avoiding motion blur.
•
Sharp: Looks at both fields to make all edges sharper. This setting gives more importance
to spatial data.
Fade In/Out
Adds a dissolve from and to a matte color at the beginning and end of the clip.
The Fade In/Out filter contains the following controls:
•
Fade In Duration: Sets the duration of the fade-in.
•
Fade Out Duration: Sets the duration of the fade-out.
•
Fade In Opacity: Sets the opacity of the clip’s video at the first frame. A value of 0.0 sets the
clip video to be completely covered by the matte color. A value of 0.5 sets the clip to be 50
percent covered by the matte color.
•
Fade Out Opacity: Sets the opacity of the clip’s video at the last frame. A value of 0.0 sets the
clip video to be completely covered by the matte color. A value of 0.5 sets the clip to be 50
percent covered by the matte color.
•
Fade Color: Sets the matte color. When you click the color well, the Colors window appears,
and you can choose the color to fade to and from. (The Fade In and Fade Out colors must be
the same.)
