Hello,

I had to take a commercial from 1 year ago and update it, its an annual event type spot. The original was the last spot I produced on Ol'blue and at the event last year I shot some new footage in HD. This years spot combined the two, SD from last year and new HD footage.  The Timeline is a standard def DV timeline. the HD Clips brought in a scaled to fit both x-y the HD clips are 720 30p

The spot is very simple and contained a Logo at the head and tail with a RT Lens Flare effect. Everything plays back Perfectly on Liquid and on the Computer Monitor (ie Progressive scan)  However, when I play the spot back on a TV (interlaced) the parts with the HD footage and lens flare go Crazy with this Flicker with Green hue.

At first i thought that it was a problem the Non-Intrelaced footage, so I FUSED the timeline, minus graphics and effecst to make a clean video layer that would be all Interlaced.

This did not work, same problem.

So next I removed the RT Lens flare effect and the problem was solved. 

Why would the Lens Flare effect cause this problem with the HD-converted to SD footage???

this is on my Laptop Editor, running a Nvidia Quadro FX 1600m and the release service pack for Liquid 7.2

 

 

I got the green-and-flicker on effects when my copy of Liquid got corrupted and had to be reinstalled. but in my case it was happening consistently on all transitions. If you use some other SD footage, say two instances of the same SD footage, do you still get the error?

Make sure you have the DX10 patch installed.

I have the new patch installed, thou I do question some things about this VGA Card. Some RAW footage, and this happens in my EVERIO player as well, the footage on the screen in "hot" or "Saturated" areas gets that "Solarized" look to it. So I don't feel that I have the Laptop setup properly.  I don't know that these issues are related. I'll try to do some tests to narrow down the problem.

 All Suggestions welcomed and appreciated.
