Ok so i've added to my clip and rendered bu there seems to be these wierd lines accross the footage now. Is it because of a certain format.

Any help on fixing it. ...Please!

weird lines? could you be more specific? Can you post a screenshot? It sounds to me like you are are talking about interlace sawteeth, but it could be anything.

Yes it's an interlacing problem i believe, how do i fix it ...?

You believe? Well if it's lines on the contours of moving things, on every other pixel-line, then it seems to be an interlace thing. Basicly I'd say: That's ok, don't remove them, don't deinterlace a movie, because if you once gonna play it on a TV or Video Beam for PAL or NTSC Signals (any standalone DVD Player), it will expect interlaced Material. The lines you don't like now will make the movie sharp and liquid in motion! So you should not worry about the lines. They need to be there, if they are not there, something is wrong.

Now if you have finfished your movie and you want to release a web version without these interlaced lines, you still can Deinterlace a copy of it. Please note Deinterlacing will allways reduce the Image quality of your movie more or less. MOst times it will blur your Movie a lot.

It may be the best solution to reduce the size the movie by 50% and save it in Progressive mode (means it will be deinteralces automaticly). But you should do this with a copy of the main product only. If you burn a DVD, always burn it interlaced (bottom frame first).

Det Films ais in NTSC format, if you need it for PAL get a converter.
