Low quality on computer screen-Deinterlacing with Bogart7.1?
Posted: Thu Sep 03, 2015 4:41 am
I have just started working a week ago with Bogart7.1 for Windows - after many years of standard definition editing with a Cassy Classic first, then a Prestige. To my dismay, I've found that, while my films look good when played on tv screens, the quality on my computer monitor leaves much to be desired. If anything, some footage actually looks better after editing in standard def with the prestige.
My footage is shot primarily with a Sony XR550 an CX550 which shoots 60 interlaced frames. Would deinterlacing improve the quality of my finished films? As per Chet's - wonderful - tutorial on the Bogart 7 (or was it 6.3?) there was an option in the import menu for deinterlacing. However, I can't find any such options in the 7.1 version, the only choices being, in the format box of the "project" menu, "on (Interlace,i)" and "off (Progressive,p)". I've got the latter selected as, with the "interlace" option selected, the finished films weren't playing on tv screens.
All rather confusing as my camera shoots interlaced frames but I have to select the "progressive" option on the Bogart to be able to complete a project which, while playing fine on tv screens, doesn't look that good on my computer screen.
Any input welcome, thanks.
