In depth

A closer look at smooth / interlace 1.0

smooth / interlace is a plug-in that provides two ways to ease the jerkiness problems encountered when slowing down a clip, and when playing digital video (i.e. a clip edited with iMovie) on analog equipment (e.g. a TV).

the plug-in provides two separate processors that can be combined (in a single pass) for even better results:

Smoothing (through blending two successive frames). you control the amount of blending from 0% to 50%. this processor should be used when a digital play-back device exhibits the jerkiness problem.
Interlacing (a technique from analog TV in which half of the next frame is intertwined with the current one). use this effect when the clip looks bad on analog equipment, but well on digital.
Smooth interlace (interlace as above, but the interlaced picture is blended with the current picture -- this is a compromise solution if you need to produce the same source for both analog and digital play-back equipment). you control the amount of blending from 0-100%
