Premiere Pro 2.0 and mixed field order...

[arminio]

I am editing two videos with different field order (one is TFF and other is BFF). Is there any way to change field order in one of video directly in Premiere Pro 2.0? Deinterlacing is my last solution - it works, but I want interlaced video to retain sharper and more quality picture in final MPEG2 file I will encode at end (and which, now, with mixed field order, produce "messy" playback).

Right click the clip and go to interpret footage. You should be able to select top field first or bottom field first. I think this is what you are looking for.

It doesn't help!
After selecting it on parts of clip I neeed to reverse, resulting, test AVI has these parts still in wrong field order!
:confused:

did you try to nest one project into another? i mean, create bff project and nest it in tff project...? didn't try that one myself, maybe it'll work...

I solved this by AVS script which I used to swap field order in problematic AVI and frameserve AVS to Premiere... Now result is perfect field order in all clips - BUT! Now I have crappy transitions!? I mean, every dissolve transition (and other like "push" etc. too) between two TFF interlaced clip results in jerky playback!?

"Blend frame" doesn't help (on or off - the same result), output is set to "Upper field order"... every option looks fine, resulting AVI also looks fine but transitions between clips are horribly jerky!?

Looks like Premiere make them either progressive or BFF instead TFF - because deinterlacing again produce correct result...

I never had these problems with old Premiere 6.0 I used before Premiere Pro 2...

Any help?

easiest way to flip field order is to move the clip up by 1 pixel :)

that means re-rendering it though, which makes for a slow export (and if you're using DV will degrade quality).

transitions are probably working in the project's field order. if not they'll be working in the interpreted field order for the clip it's applied on. not sure which.

when i use premiere i usually import all my assets as avs files - i can fix the fields in the avs files much easier, and i trust the results more (how does premiere do it's field flips? move up one? bob-then-reinterlace? temporal field-shift?)

I am aware that reencoding will change field order but I wanted to do it without reencoding... and I can but then, from some strange reason, it works well except in transitions where field order is different...
