So you want to deinterlace that video of yours! Videos of weddings, baptisms, vacations, kids playing, or maybe some of your personal homemade NSFW ones … from VHS to even some of the newest digital formats, chances are that you have to deal with deinterlacing them. If it was recorded with an older TV in mind, then that video is interlaced.

It is a non-needed remnant of a long bygone technological limitation; a vestigial abomination with the sol It is a non-needed remnant of a long bygone technological limitation; a vestigial abomination with the sole function of inflicting torture and agony upon us.

Thank you for documenting all of this. Just today I was planning on revisiting your old video tutorial to set up my own workflow. Now I think I will wait until your new video tutorial is available.

Its quality is unmatchable even for programs like After Effects or expensive plugins like Frame by Red Giant.
