I need to deinterlace some 60i DV footage to intersperse with some 30P (Yes, THE 30P.) material in a Ken Burns-ish history program. Any recommendations on a really good, fast (motion-compensated?) deinterlacer that I could just drop in as an effect and take care of the 60i bits (without dropping another 1000 clams). Fieldskit looks like a good package. Nattress Film Effects has deinterlacers and other goodies. Your ideas? Thx.

Tom,
The two of them are really good. Fieldskit is mor specific about interlacing (it got de-interlacer, pull down remover and re-interlacer) and give you some options that you don't get with Nattress (like making a ful Frame from each field). The Nattress is great and come with many interesting things in the same package.
You can make a try as well with "Smart de-interlace" of TooMuchTooSoon. Is free. Works very well if you set the "Motion sensitiviti" to the top.
Cheers,
Rafael

Rafael has some good suggestions, and I have one that is expensive. Boris Continuum Complete has pretty nice deinterlacer, but if you buy it just for that, it might not be worth it. BCC is a pretty good suite of effects. I use it a lot for Green Screen within FCP.

And one more: Do a search here for it in this forum. Compression does a great job
(without just throwing away a field). It's in the Advanced Format Conversion section.

Ed,
Yep, I have used that function with good results. I'll have to weigh the advantages of a batch conversion of clips as opposed to a plug-in approach. I guess it comes down to which one saves the most time and quality and if it's a tossup, the free one wins. Thanks.

What are people's thoughts on FCP's de-interlacer? I have used it on DV and it "appears" to work very well. When going for a look is when I've used Nattress Film FX, and the included de-interlacing. Both of these options are loads cheaper than Boris.

The built-in de-interlacer throws away information. I wouldn't recommend it when there are other (even free) options.
