Elements De-Interlace Filter

[ATR]

There is a new Thread over in one of the non-Premiere Elements Forums asking about the De-Interlace function in Photoshop Elements. My first thought was “where and what”.

I did some looking around the Internet and found what I thought was an interesting application to video.

I have not tried it, but thought that maybe someone else might like to check it out and maybe comment on it.

First, Where…In Elements 3.0 (I do not know about 4.0), Filter/Video/De-Interlace.

Next, What...a filter

About the article...Essentially the article involves the De-Interlace filter and a low resolution frame grab from a video that the person wanted to use for a publicity shot. Problem was not enough resolution for print.

You can already output a frame from your project using Premiere Elements 2.0 and have it de-interlace the image prior to output so you can edit a clean image in Photoshop if you need to.

That's how I did my example video for a user on the official forums who wanted to somehow highlight a video he was putting together for his son's college application. I went online and found some similiar sports video using high school basketball footage to demonstrate how to take a still frame out, tweak it using Photoshop Elements 4.0 and then bring it back in to really make a highlight video pop. You couldn't effectively do that without first deinterlacing the frame.

You can see what I'm talking about over here. (http://renodigital.blogspot.com/2006/07/creating-highlight-videos-worthy-of.html)
