I can't get this to work. The photoshop files are blank in AE (CS6). They import as white files with no lines on them. I tried saving them in photoshop (CS6) as jpegs and pngs, but they don't show up properly in AE either and they don't work after completing this tutorial. I then tried finding my own scan lines image, but that didn't work either, and I'm guessing it's because you can't use a jpeg or image file, but the photoshop files aren't working so I'm stuck. Can I make my own or something?

03/02/2013

I just encountered this, hopefully your problem was the same. My problem was that my viewer window was set to display on 1/2 resolution, so the lines weren't showing and it just looked white. Setting the viewer to full, AE could show the fine lines, and the tutorial process worked fine. Hope this helps...

12/15/2012

nice tutorial..anyway...you don´t like sleep right? because i see 4:17 AM on your screen :P

12/20/2011

When I watch that tutorial I notice, if you use that approach to deinterlace video 1 px high black line appear at the bottom of footage. How you can fix that. Thanks.

10/05/2011

Thanks very much you are a good Teacher I'm a New User

06/02/2011

Thanx for doing this, mate. I have a vast knowledge of Photoshop, which helps a lot, but AE is so much different. After watching your basic tutorials, and some advanced ones, I was able to make what I wanted, and here it is... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCqQOo5TV4Q

Thanks Andrew !

must visit i am doing many work in After Effects

02/25/2011

Wow this is a great video correction technique, I have always wondered how to remove those lines in videos and this is the first time I countered an de-interlacing technique and surprisingly in After Effects since I know it is more about animation, but it's like an all around tool since it has capabilities similar to Photoshop, Flash and video editing software. After Effects is a really great tool and Andrew is a really good After Effects mentor. Thanks. =)

02/22/2011

Just downloaded a trial version of CS5. My first project is to deinterlace my 480p videos and up resolution. Your tutorial is the best if found. My problem is, extracting the turtorial video I've downloaded to my desktop. I'm I missing something...It won't extract.

02/28/2011

You should check out the 10th video in the basic training series. It'll show you how to do it there the right way (cuz ur not supposed 2 export it). :)

02/22/2011

I've been looking for this forever! Thank you so much (x100)! :)

You know what? its thanks to you that Ive learned after effects and most of all special effects and its due to you that today I have my own business, doing movies and special effects for different companies and documentary films....it might be unbelievable but I have not taken any course in after effects, though creating effects and doing video editing like a professional, Im telling you guys, this Andrew is an Alien in after effects, by that I mean superior guru in effect creation and effect Tutor.

10/03/2010

Thank you so much for your lessons

09/08/2010

Working at 4:17 AM in the night.... you really must be obsessed with After Effects! (in a good way that is)

Hats off to what you do for the entire After Effects world out there! My most sincerest wishes for all what you want to achieve in life!

08/17/2010

08/01/2010

Mister Andrew you are one hell of a genius and great guy it seems :)

05/28/2010

Great tutorial... but where do I get your scanlines.psd file?

05/03/2010

This tutorial source is very good and improve my Designe knowledge such feature.

Thank you

01/20/2010

respected sir,
you are great

01/08/2010

Thank you Andrew, i like this one very much

11/26/2009

Thanks Andrew...
This is the most important piece of tutorial...and it is always needed n helpful....
This interlacing n progressive thing blows away things easily..!!

11/25/2009

This little tutorial saved the day. A client gave me the only copy of a video that was progressive frames of interlaced fields. How in the world?!
You made me look good and made the client very happy. Thank you.

10/01/2009

Thanks Andrew. A informative tutorial.

09/05/2009

@KIDDU
You can buy the 'VIDEO COPILOT: Series One' (see Products). On that DVD you can find the first 50 tutorials plus some cool extra's. Very handy.
And, like Andrew once said, it's a nice way to donate VC when you purchase one.

08/14/2009

how can i download these..plz suggest me

08/02/2009

Thx a lot Andrew for those great tutorials, especially the basic training experience.

@Dark3nd: I bet by the time you must have figured that out; anyway, there might be other people wondering how to get the track matte: simply use the shortcut F4 to toggle between mode and trackmatte to the normal view (shy, quality, fx...). Be sure to check that your keyboard is in FMode (in case you have a programmable keyboard).

07/06/2009

hey Andrew I already watch some of your tutorials and I find it very useful,


Is this tutorial makes the footage a film look?

--

07/06/2009

Pardon me but i'm not really familiar with deinterlacing but that was a quick tut and looks interesting.thanks a lot!

07/05/2009

hello. What about PAL as you are talking about NTSC. Does it works the same?
thank you.

06/18/2009

I have found quite interesting article about interlacing and what it is..
I think you would find it ussefull:
http://www.100fps.com/

06/17/2009

Very useful! Where can I find scanlines for a 1920x1080 resolution?

06/06/2009

Very good.

06/05/2009

Hahaha, I just saw this tutorial after watching all his new ones, he sounds all young, and stuterring at some places. I always thought deinterlacing footage reduces the quality... doesn't this method do the same?

05/27/2009

Well,very good ,i like!

04/22/2009

hi Andrew,

nice tutorials.................

04/18/2009

Hey guys/girls,

I need help with the "Track Matte" because i just downloaded a trial to see if i should buy it but i dunno where to get "Track Matte" please help!

04/16/2009

I didnt get for what this technique is used! Im a foreigner, so i cant understand everything! Can someone explain?

03/22/2009

Didn't know what deinterlacing until I watched your tutorial. I haven't tried yet but I will let you know how things go. I had so much problem with that kind video.

03/11/2009

Hey Andrew, I tried this tutorial with HDV footage from the sony fx1 and it didn't seem to work, i used the HDV scanlines psd. However when I tried it with DV footage it worked. The HDV footage is interlaced and it does upper field first b e i can't seem to see the interlaced lines. Can u tell me if i'm doing something wrong?

02/18/2009

To anyone needeng the scanlines psd...
Just download the project and will find a PAL scanlines psd and a HDV scanlines too.
AU

02/15/2009

hi,
i'm a new after effects user and i don't understand what can i do with this tutorial
what happening to the footage? is it's becoming more clearer or something?
thanx..

02/12/2009

Oh wow this really helped me fix my blurry DV footage. It was already de-interlaced, so all i had to do was add the blur :)

Helped me update my Facebook pic too lol
You've come so far in 3 years!
Thnx

02/08/2009

Indeed, as many said before me:
Why?
I understand what you are doing but why all this hassle? What's the gain?

11/15/2008

King Tut!
Thanks again!

11/07/2008

G'day Andrew

I'm from Australia and i have two questions about this tutorial. All my footage is in PAL format. Does the scan lines you provide with this tutorial work in this format. i'm also wandering if it will work in both 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios.

Cheers mate
love your work

10/19/2008

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deinterlacing

this article helps explain, for those with additional questions about deinterlacing and why.

10/07/2008

goooooooooooooooooooood ya

09/19/2008

Hi, Andrew!

Don't worry about some people complaints and you are not stealing people's time... We realy appreciate your work. People like you deserve the best in this world. I will promote you around.
Congratulations!

09/05/2008

deinterlacing means loosing half the resolution. before teaching how to deinterlacing,i think you should explain this is and why it is done. i don't think this is different than "deinterlace" command in many video tools. as david lee writes even virtual dub has this feature. also there are many options for better deinterlacing as virtual dub's smart deinterlace, which just deinterlaces the footage when there is motion causing lines. even a better solution (if you r doing this just for yourself to watch something on your computer) is to watch the footage with a player that has deinterlace option like free vlc player, which has many alternatives for deinteralces filter. i appreciate your effort to prepare this tutorial but i also think you should answer some important questions of some guy, vincet, david lee, mike and whyte myke... otherwise you are stealing people's time!

09/05/2008

So great. I am going to do like that.

08/14/2008

How did you make the scan lines? Its there a simple method in Photoshop to do this?

07/18/2008

i don't understand why you would use this tech, what's the purpose of this, i'm totally confused as to why you would use this... i understand how you created it... but just not sure WHY i would use this

07/14/2008

Is it possible to interleave alternating frames of upper field and lower field to effectively double the frame rate? Thus slowing the video down without it becoming jerky? Is the a plug-in that will display alternating frames from two different video clips?

07/11/2008

sweet........just got canon hv30 and i needed to learn that......good job.......can u make a tutorial teaching shallow dof

06/30/2008

very useful

05/26/2008

if you click on "project" you'll get a .rar of the video and the scanlines.psd file.

05/25/2008

Ok, I tried but I don't understand whay to duplicate the precomposed layer? I tries without it and seems that it works also.

05/17/2008

Perhaps to solve the problem of poor line quality in China (see above). . . can you access Real Player 11? It has a new facility. It's the way I'm holding on to Andrew's gems. Thank Andrew.

05/17/2008

yes! if tutorials are free why not downloadable too

04/08/2008

i think that if the tutorials could be downloaded will be better. the line is busy ,i can't watch it flowly. you konw ,the line in chinese is not very well.

03/27/2008

It looks like this tutorial discards 50% of the available data. Might it not be better to use AE's deinterlace filter with Pixel Motion ??


@Veloso, you can create it yourself in Photoshop by drawing a single pixel black line on a white background. Then select the black line and one white line with rectangle select. Turn that into a fill pattern (somewhere in the Edit menu I think), and fill the entire image with that fill pattern.

02/28/2008

As I do to get "scanline.psd."?
excuse! because my English is horrible.
from of already my gratitudes!

02/03/2008

I'm sorry! But I don't find the FPS Converter in AE. Where I acquire this plugin?

01/27/2008

Hey, where can I get the scanlines.psd to import into AE? I have Photoshop CS and cannot seem to find it.

01/23/2008

How can i arrenge lines for widescreen

01/10/2008

i don't get it. Great tutorial, but when i try to do it, when i put the scanlines in my timeline, it all goes white; it doesn't happen like in the video, anyone knows how to do this?

01/03/2008

Hey Andrew, great tutorial! I've really appreciated all of your tutorials and have learned a lot in AE thanks to you, Aaharon, and the other guys. I was wondering what you thought about using this method versus for instance smartDeinterlacer for Virtualdub. (which is also free, but a bit of learning curve). I noticed also this seems like it gets rid of half the information. Thanks for your priceless efforts!

01/03/2008

great work thank you for sharing your ideas with all


thank you again

12/18/2007

nice tutorials.... thanks a lot....
ur tutorials really helped me a lot.... thanks again.... where i can find ur tutorials on adobe premiere.... plz send me a link of ur tutorials.
bye

12/17/2007

Andrew Thank you so much!!

11/25/2007

for Suvir,
You should alwayse keep hd clips that you will use to edit with as an uncompressed raw clip to keep the hd quality if you try to compress it because of size it will ruin the quality.
Thats why i have to have 2 terabites of harddrive space.
If space is a problem, then do what i did, i picked up another hitache 750gig kla drive from newegg.com for $200. its sata 3 and has 3 power speeds to save life. my mac pro came with a 500gig drive but costed $500, for its mac logo, it was the hitache kla drive. :( waste of money
I just finished high school but instead of paying $200k for visual effects school i'm buying equipment to start my own business this spring.

11/24/2007

Hey AK...
I hav this Software called video enhancer... which allows conversion of SD videos to HD videos.... I get prty large sized files as out put.. A 4 secs video is 1.3gb... Is there any way to compress HD videos.???
Please need some help urgently... am working on a university project...

11/22/2007

I can't view this tutorial...
It doesn't load..

11/05/2007

For those in the know (IMHO), this technique is for people not willing to spend money on fancy plugins (which provides tons of controls). You could use the standard deinterlace filter provided with photoshop to process each individual frame... heh heh. or we could use Andrew's extensive knowledge and apply it ourselves. Me... i bought the HV20 and shot it straight away...Thanks andrew... you da man!

10/25/2007

Just wondering... Would it be equally as good (or even better) to directionally blur the lower layer UP 0.5 pixels and the upper layer DOWN 0.5 pixels -- instead of the lower layer UP 1.0 pixel??? It would seem that blurring this way might be a bit more accurate. But not sure... What do you think?

10/23/2007

thank you

10/19/2007

Hey Andrew:

I watched this the other day without knowing exactly what you were talking about. I recently bought a small camcorer and it gives me the interlaced video (on some settings). I knew this tutorial had something to do with it... It really makes a difference... thanx!!

10/16/2007

Thank you so much. You are the man.

10/05/2007

Same question as SomeGuy above. It looks like the raw footage simply was recorded as Upper Field first- selecting that option in the settings should place the scanlines in the proper order. Shouldn't it ?

10/01/2007

Hey, thanks, nice tutorial. But I have a question. Why should I use that? If I choose "Lower Field First" in the "Interpret Footage" dialog, After Effects does the Deinterlacing. I don't understand, why I should do all the work? Is the build in Deinterlacing of AE bad or what is the reason using this technique?

09/26/2007

I had to watch it again today. I had to deal with worthless piece of shit footage today. Thanks Andrew!

09/19/2007

Very handy and useful to know.
