What is Deinterlacing and Why Should I Use It?
If you shoot video with a camera, most formats will be interlaced, a system that dates back to the 1950s which involves showing every other horizontal scan line in the picture first, and then “interlacing” the other half of the scan lines a moment (usually 1/60th of a second) later. Although necessary for TV, interlacing looks bad on the web. When you output a version of your video to upload to Crackle, be sure to choose the option in your editing or compression application to De-interlace the footage. This will avoid the “combed” look in your video.
