Download: JES Deinterlacer

by CJ Bruce on August 20, 2008

JES Deinterlacer is, in my opinion, the best way to deinterlace your footage. If you are wondering why your footage comes out with wierd lines across it, especially when there is a lot of movement or action, then you probably need to deinterlace it. I see this all the time with amateur video where people shoot a great film, but they don’t deinterlace it and it can be very distracting.

Another benefit of using JES Deinterlacer over the deinterlacing built into Final Cut Pro is that you can do a batch deinterlace. So if you have a lot of files (say 30 raw clips from your camera) that need deinterlacing, you can just set it up and let it do its work without you having to hang out and babysit.
