slow motion

I need some help. I shot some hd (sony z1) and captured footage as hd, dropped into standard definition timeline and during close up slow motion it has a lot of banding and like a blur, not smooth at all. Loks better in timeline than the final dvd. Is there a different setting to encode at. I am encoding to sd best quality. Maybe a field order problem. Never had one to look this bad. A lot of jagged edges. I am sending file to motion for optical flow filer, but around 20 hours of rendering. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

charlie branham

Are you sending an interlaced file to compressor? I export at 30p for DVD's.

Yeah, try changing your field order to "none" in the sequence settings, assuming it's interlaced. I usually edit in HD even if it's going to DVD and I've had luck just leaving the frame rate whatever it is natively.

Banding

I've had the same problem before. First, I would suggest making sure that your frame rate matches in both the sequence and the footage. A workaround that I found was to export it off the timeline as a movie and drop it back in. Then, you can slow it down. Hope that helps!
