What am I doing wrong? at DVinfo.net

Chris Leffler · July 6th, 2008, 12:21 AM

I film paintball w/ a HV10 and wanted to take advantage of Vimeo's HD. I followed their FAQs to the tee and my video has ghosting. At least thats what I think it is called. I was hoping some people on here who know a lot more than me could help me out. I hope my problem wasn't just fast pans with a consumer HD camera.

Also, I exported a video a couple of months ago exactly the same way and the file is 400MB, but the video bellow is just 128MB and is the same length and exported the same exact way.

Here is the video I am talking about:

Hi,

I must say it looks great!

BUT - I do see the "ghosting" - but I don't think its so bad. My 2 cents on why it looks like it does:

1. It only appears when you PAN quickly
2. On fast action

For me that indicated a interlacing/deinterlacing problem OR if you shot in Progressive - the framerate is too low - hence the "jerkiness / ghosting".

Overall I think the video was super!

Thanks, I am glad that you enjoyed it! I had other people tell me that I needed to deinterlace however when I did so it didn't really seem to fix anything. I don't have a deinterlaced version on Vimeo yet.
