    Wavy Effect on Verticals

    GESYMSB Community Member

      Hello, I never have a problem capturing from my

      Premiere Pro CS3, but when I try to capture

      video with Onlocation CS3, anything
      that is vertical have a wavy effect.

      Color, Brightness, etc is ok.

       

      But vertical borders of a building, trees
      a pole, whatever vertical, will be wavy.

       

      Thanks

          Can you define what you mean by "wavy"?

          If it's that the edges are jagged, or "aliased," then that's most likely a result of the Visible Lines setting (third panel of the Field Monitor menu), which defaults to Odd or Even. The tradeoff is that Odd/Even eliminates the interlacing artifacts that result from viewing interlaced video on a progressive computer display, but it introduces aliasing artifacts. If you switch to All, then you'll see interlacing but edges will be smooth.

            Here is a picture I did with Photoshop

            simulating the effect.

             

            ANYTHING Vertical will have those "moving" waves on the borders.

             

             

            ( Those waves will move up or down with the video, they are not fix on the spot )

             

            However I do not think Onlocation will do what I was looking for...

             

            Changing the brightness of the video coming into the pc.
            Sometimes the video lets say is just a little bit too dark.

             

            I was hoping I could control this in the capture program

            but the only thing I managed to do is to change
            the brightness of the Onlocation-Monitor, not
            the capture video........
