deinterlace in Final Cut Pro X

I've just found this : http://help.apple.com/compressor/mac/4.0/en/compressor/usermanual/#chapter=23%26 section=3%26hash=apple_ref:doc:uid:Compressor-UserManual-90863FRC-SW41

But I don't know if it gives a better result than a software like Jes deinterlacer.

I was wondering the same thing until I stumbled upon it after thinking a little bit differently 😝. If you go to File > Project Properties and click the little wrench in the bottom right-hand corner of the info pane, up pops the properties of your project. Just change the Format to progressive (e.g. 1080p instead of 1080i). Voila! When you export your interlaced footage will be progressive, no artifacts! 😀

Thank's, that looks great !

I can't test it right now because I don't have the software yet.

One question, do the artifacts appear during the editing of a project in FCPX or do they only appear when we export it?

Thanks for that great tip.

So happy that some people still use this forum for good.

Can you choose upper/lower fields?

Does anyone know if there is a difference between using Compressor 4 or the tips given by tjwilliams25 ?

I also would like to know this. De-Interlacing in COmpressor 3 vs in FCP7 vs 3rd party plug-ins vs Shake always yielded very different results!

As of right now there aren't any options to choose field order, it may be added later. The artifacts aren't noticeable while editing, but upon export it's pretty bad (depending on the camera that captured the footage). I'm pretty sure Compressor will yield better results, I'll do some testing after work and post my findings! :)

Thank's 🙂

After running a few not-so-intense-or-rigorous tests, I've found that Final Cut now exports a far better quality version than Compressor. It may be the settings I used, which were just stock presets, but the Compressor version had the screen door effect; whereas the Final Cut export set to progressive looked just as my old projects with the deinterlace filter added. Sure, there's less control than prior, being able to set field order and such, but it looks good enough (if not better) than my older exports under Final Cut 7.

You can choose field order from the inspector --> choose to look at INFO and change the BASIC VIEW to the SETTINGS VIEW, you can then change the field order of the clip. You will notice the other views has all the metadata we had in the original FCP7, it's just been hidden by default.

Yes,

Thanks!!!!!

Thanks David. That's exactly what I was looking for.
