In-Video Movement Frame Distortion

StealthStarSwag wrote on 5/20/2023, 7:38 PM

I was working on a vlog when I noticed that my arm/hand movements looked distorted -- I attached a photo below. I checked the footage in Media Player, and this distortion does NOT occur there, so I can rule out the concern that the file itself is corrupted. Additionally, I haven't experienced this problem in Vegas Movie Studio, just Vegas Pro. Is there a way to fix this problem?

The computer I am using is the MSI GE75 Raider gaming laptop. It has 16 GB of RAM, a 10th generation Intel Core i7-10750H processor, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 graphics card. The version of Windows 11 installed is 22H2 (OS Build 22621.1702). The version of Vegas Pro 19 installed is 19.0 (Build 651).

@StealthStarSwag Hi, I think it interlaced or deinterlacing, I'm not sure but until someone better replies can you share a picture your project settings & i know you say it's not your footage but players work differently to editors , so there's an App called MediaInfo, download it, it's free & a fast download with no added adverts or any of that rubbish. https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo

After downloading, right click on the media file in your Windows folder, open MediaInfo, choose Text from the options at the top, Copy & paste the information in a new comment on here 👍

Set your Project Properties to match your interlaced source media.

Pick a deinterlace method that suits your fancy.

@john_dennis This saved my video! Thanks a bunch! 😃

@StealthStarSwag Glad you're sorted, I knew it was something like that but didn't want to give the wrong info, love a happy ending, 👍

@StealthStarSwag Personally I always deinterlace with "Interpolate Fields". Blend Fields is only suitable, in my opinion, for static shots with no movement between the fields. If there is movement blending the fields can give a ghosting effect. Also it halves your shooting framerate which can give jerky movement. With your VP you also have the option of "Smart Adaptive" but it may be a lot slower depending on your GPU.

@EricLNZ I interlaced with "Interpolate Fields" at first, but for whatever reason, the rendered file came out unusually grainy. When I interlaced with "Blend Fields," however, there was no more graininess, and the picture even appeared to be a bit brighter. I might be more receptive to interlacing with "Interpolate Fields" if it can produce the same picture quality as "Blend Fields" (minus the ghosting effect). I might also try out "Smart Adaptive" in the future and see what that does.

In this particular video, there was just minor movement, so I didn't notice a major ghosting effect thankfully.
