We filmed a wedding using a Canon DSLR @ 1080p 30fps..edited it natively with CS5, encoded for DVD and thrown into Encore. As i am watching the final cut on a 1080p upscaling DVD player via HDMI to a HDTV player, i cannot help but think this is too clear... any thoughts?

Thanks,

Kren

Hi Kren,

I would love to help as we in interlaced non-progressive DVD delivery land know one or two things about interlace looking stuff in CS5, but...

"...encoded for DVD and thrown into Encore. As i am watching the final cut on a 1080p upscaling DVD player via HDMI to a HDTV player, i cannot help but think this is too clear..."

Is it me, or do I need an interpreter? Haven't got a clue what you're on about... Perhaps would explain why there are no takers...

:)

Sorry about that Claire.. i actually found the source of the problem ..it was the video settings on the TV's we watched the video on..they had it on a user setting that nullified the "film-look" plug-in i used to color grade the video...thanks for your input though..Cheers!

It sounds like the dreaded "soap opera effect." As far as I know it can be deactivated on all the television sets that offer the "feature."

Basically, it adds new frames in between the 24 or 30 frames of our carefully crafted progressive-scan masterpieces and makes them look like bad pornography from the 80's.
