When I create a subtitle with avisynth, the subtitle is not interlaced. Meaning that the even and odd lines represent physical distance, not temporal distance.
Becuase of this, when I use the Subtitle command on an interlaced clip, the resulting subtitle shimmers when viewed on a TV.
Am I missing something fundemental? Or am I imagining the effect? If an image is not moving, like a subtitle, then the even and odd lines should be identical. I looked in the Subtitle documentation and saw nothing about interlacing.
Does anyone know how to take just the subtitle image and deinterlace it by duplicating fields?
I know I can do it with the ColorKeyMask command by putting the subtitles on a colored background, but I assume the anti-aliasing in the font will result in artifacts around the edges. Also, this would be very slow and an overly complicated solution.
Any help would be appreciated. Mabye there is a 3rd party plugin to do this?
Thanks,
