Can we all just appreciate how cool of an effect that was at 1:44. Watching a fullscreen video and having youtube recommend a video on top of an effect was actually really cool. It's 2019 and you're the first person I've ever seen make an effect work with the pop up "i" in the corner. Just another reason you deserve more subscribers. Keep up the great work!
Don't get too comfortable. It works at the moment, but TH-cam will change where/how cards work and it'll break. See real old videos where people point to the information in the "side bar" back when the description was to the right of the video. Or remember when you used to be able to put colored cards up on the video itself either as a "correction" or to add links to the video, then people put a scrillion of them on screen at a time and they got gone? TH-cam doesn't hold still.
@@greggleason8467 It's also a reference to subscription-based software, specifically the Adobe suite, and how it's more expensive in the long run than just being able to buy the software outright.

@@migueeeelet Big movies were and still often are recorded on film stock. Higher framerate doesn't mean lower resolution in that case, but it does mean more film stock is used, which can be expensive. Movies today are still 23.967FPS because it's more 'cinematic' as people say.
@@Kaopoke "cinematic" i.e. looks like complete shit. a standard made by boomers who insist their archaic standards be pushed on the masses forever because to do otherwise is "improper".
@@migueeeelet Movies were shot on film and intended for showing in cinemas via projectors, so TV broadcasting was irrelevant. The VHS tape releases were a adaptation of that film. Also various gaming consoles back in the 80's and 90's (NES, SNES, Master System, Genesis) ran at 60FPS interlaced, showing differing frames for the A and B fields. Game devs could of course choose to run the game at 30FPS if they wanted to favour more complex visuals.
One deintelacing method that seldom gets mention is to convert 30i to 60p, but extract the half res fields to their own frames so you retain the 60 hz refresh rate. If you fiddle with how it renders the pixel high difference you can still maintain the full vertical resolution for stills and non moving backgrounds and objects. I used to make slowmo shots like that back in the days of DV and HDV.. it was better than nothing I'm so glad we are finally putting interlacing behind us...
That is the proper way. NTSC is 60 fields per second, and when converted to progressive, should still-be 60 fields. 60p preserves the 480 vertical resolution, where other techniques reduce it .
@MrHappyBollox I mean, he's not debunking anything, but he's explaining things in such a clear way. I've rarely came across such well crafted explanations of complex subjects.

honesty i think this is the first epilepsy warning i've ever seen on yt. not that i personally care, but its a nice thing to see. Keep up the hard and good work CD!
There are actually pretty good de-interlacing algorithms, which neither halve the resolution nor make it blurry. They are quite CPU-intensive, though. What annoys me most is that even many "professional" youtube channels don't know how to handle old interlaced material and include the nasty interleaving artifacts.
Captain D - you're hands down the most skillful Creator on this platform - thank you thank you thank you for making these videos! I know how much time and effort you put into them! They're priceless. 🙌🙌🙌

The amount of work you have put into this as a mere hobby alone is absolutely, DROP DEAD astounding.

Interlacing is evil. I've hated it since the 90s. Yes I'm that old. That and screen tearing (no v-sync on computer graphics, usually) drive me up the wall.
strangely i've never experienced moments so bad, even if i played like anything on anything (technically speaking), the only thing that changed my life was the "clear type" on winXP for LCDs... honestly i think that there is too much concern about technical poverty, likewise never wished for things like 4k etc (but it's an obvious upgrade at least), no offence but like in Hi-Fi there's audiophoolery it's kinda the same for video and other stuff, just harder to point as useless or semi-useless, i'm on a PC VGA screen of like 15 years ago and i hope it lasts some more
screen tear is the bane of my existence. i found out that if you play an old old ass cartoon on an old dvd player to a shitty mobile projector that the image tears so annoyingly bad its unwatchable. not sure why either. i know it has to do with a frame rate being too high for a system or something. but why is it that this one cartoon from the 40s is the only one that does it?
Screen tear (aka non-vsync) is another one of those 'we didn't think things through' issues. For gaming to 'feel' smooth you need low latency. Thing is on modern systems there are many sources of latency. Mouse input latency, message queue latency, frame processing latency. Most modern games/APIs (DX/OpenGL/Vulkan) also render 2-3 frames ahead to keep parallelism high and keep the GPU fed. Also modern TVs also have frame buffers that can have 1-2 frame delays while they upscale/denoise/process the input. This has meant that while gaming graphics and processing power has gotten orders of magnitude better, latency has gotten worse. This is why most pro gamers play at 120 fps (or higher), not because it looks better but because it 'feels' better (ie. latency). This is why old SNES games often play better than modern games (in terms of feel/control), because they are running lower latency. Course even 120fps can 'feel' slow compared to old school games (which ran at 60fps with almost no additional latency, no frame buffers, no queue's, just blasting the pixel straight out to the screen) and screens can only update so fast, so the next obvious solution is to just turn off v-sync and let the GPU pump out 100's of frames per second. You still have the TV lag and input lag, but at least you've minimized the GPU lag. It's not a hard fix but video card companies need to justify pushing new generations of video cards out, and people care more about FPS than playability, so nothing changes.
I hate vsync, it creates an input lag for mouse/keyboard which is very noticeable. For games that don't require a mouse, or use a controller it's not quite as noticeable. So I bought a TV that supports vsync with my Nvidia card, now I get no screen tearing and no noticeable input lag. Technology can be great
You're such a localization of the positive, potent human attributes. Intelligence and humor, honed skill sets and bases of knowledge, humility and wisdom; how fortunate to have drawn the Alan card! And that you leverage all that in an attempt to help people by informing them and making them laugh- that's a service to the species and thank you because we need that. My kids watch youtube exclusively and so as a result i despise around 90% of what emanates out of the living room display at any given time for many reasons. So i was really glad to note my 11yrd old son binge watching you while i made dinner recently, and i was laughing my ass off. I was also gladdened to learn of your seeming friendships with SmarterEveryDay and Mark Rober. While it obviously can't be the only truth it seems like the internet connects, coordinates and amplifies assholes and trash most of the time, so the whiff of the occasional opposite was also appreciated. I think all three of you are amazing people and it's reassuring somehow to see you come together..a justice league of sorts. I think i heard you use a sample from a song on a compilation record I bought last year from a label called Inner Ocean Records. The album is called Bless Vol. 1. The artist is named Lost Pages and the song is called U End Me (i may have the reversed). You slowed it down but, did I hear that right? It's during one of the introspection monologues during the skiing ostriches debunk around minute 5. I've also noticed several mentions about the racial inequities in our culture. If in fact you do have that record and it's because you're into that kind of music, you might give Vast Aire a try. It's an intersection of that perspective, that music type and he adds clever facets to established human entertainment formats just as you do. Captain- I salute you.
WOW!! That didn't take much work at all... Very creative Captain as always.(Editorial note) I meant going back and forth between the videos to see the corrected version.

@@doctordothraki4378 Even if it was only one channel, i bet it would still be fine, as you have all the frequency spectrums in the cable, instead of having to get into a knife fight with the other channels for bandwidth.
You always distribute the highest quality content possible. Not only that this is also the clearest and most self-explanatory lesson about interlacing I have ever seen and it's even short and funny, keep it up!
Thanks for the great video CD! It's interesting to note that in my country, we are still on Analogue Broadcasting. We only started digital transmissions in 2013 and the latest news is that they want us to be totally digital by 2020. Crazy!
The third option is to interpolate the motion in each field to fill in the missing lines, giving (mostly) full resolution at double the frame rate. But that takes a good deal more computation.
I just binge watched about 30% of your content and the only question I have is why have you not been in my recommended sooner? I missed so much great content! Love the quality
4:00 No no no no... Big no! Please don't misinform people. There are many ways to deinterlace, but you NEVER discard or blend. You split, interpolate and double the frame rate. No information is lost and you end up with a clean, deinterlaced video with the original framerate in stead of half.
Hey Captain, great video as always! You forgot to mention the other better method for deinteralce a video: double the frame rate to create a full frame from each field, so the result is going to be almost as good as the original. (25i to 50p or 29,97 i to 59,94), the only thing is if the video is for youtube is better to upscale it to 720p to make available the option of 60p in the player.
i love your stab at adobe at the end.

the video editing REALLY REALLY helps in understanding the concepts. Thank you so much. And thank you for making it less than 5 minutes. And all the animations. I can't praise it enough.
Your funniest CD yet 😊 Thank you for entertaining and educating!
For the fist time I can comment on a newly published CD video.
Your work is awesome, your channel is one of the most underrated of TH-cam and I felt ashamed not to have known this channel albeit its 10+ years of existence. Keep the good work!
Shoutout to H3 for giving cap some of the recognition he deserves :D
honesty i think this is the first epilepsy warning i've ever seen on yt.
not that i personally care, but its a nice thing to see.
Keep up the hard and good work CD!
I would say they are way more common than not, I rarely see videos with things like this that dont have a warning
@@StarmanDX i guess we see very diffrent content, because i really cant remember this warning on a yt vid. sure trailer's and such.
then you guys have never watched TH-cam poops or other memes lol
i've never seen an epilepsy warning way before the actual thing happens
its always like
AHHH EPILEPSY WARNI- *Blinding flashing lights*
ok this is the greatest series
the explaination is so clear i could actually learn very well from this
Always amazing to watch your work, capt!
There are actually pretty good de-interlacing algorithms, which neither halve the resolution nor make it blurry. They are quite CPU-intensive, though. What annoys me most is that even many "professional" youtube channels don't know how to handle old interlaced material and include the nasty interleaving artifacts.
Captain D - you're hands down the most skillful Creator on this platform - thank you thank you thank you for making these videos! I know how much time and effort you put into them! They're priceless. 🙌🙌🙌
*"It's not a competition cause Europe would be the winner."*
You know, I always wondered how old TVs worked. We have one still sitting in our basment. Thanks for explaining!

Haven't even read this comment, already know it'll be accurate
Edit: Still have to watch the video
Edit Edit: It was
By minute 1:30 you have learned the equivalent of a multi hour electronics course. Well done sir. Well done.
I know its stated by a large percentage of your fans, and I am well in late commenting this on a video of yours, but I have been following you as a fan for just over a year now. The amount of work you have put into this as a mere hobby alone is absolutely, DROP DEAD astounding. You are one of the most skilled people on this website for visual effect experience and explanation alone, let alone the creativity you have perfected on top of this just showing different variables of video media. I hope to one day see you rise to the peak of something grander than this shit heap of a website and have the praise you deserve for the skills you have learned. Brilliant, absolute excellent work. Thank you.
_I hope to one day see you rise to the peak of something grander than this shit heap of a website..._
Don't be too harsh on TH-cam. After all it's people like Captain Disillusion an people like you and me who make this website so shit.
@aaronsdavis And do you think those aren't connected? Hm?
I did what anyone would do. Skip right to 2:03 before watching the whole thing
Flicker!!! *_AAUUGGHHH! AAAAHHH! AAUUGHHH!!_*
Keep up the good work Captain D! Love to see more uploads.
Interlacing is evil. I've hated it since the 90s. Yes I'm that old. That and screen tearing (no v-sync on computer graphics, usually) drive me up the wall.
strangely i've never experienced moments so bad, even if i played like anything on anything (technically speaking), the only thing that changed my life was the "clear type" on winXP for LCDs... honestly i think that there is too much concern about technical poverty, likewise never wished for things like 4k etc (but it's an obvious upgrade at least), no offence but like in Hi-Fi there's audiophoolery it's kinda the same for video and other stuff, just harder to point as useless or semi-useless, i'm on a PC VGA screen of like 15 years ago and i hope it lasts some more
Interlacing was compression in the analog domain.
screen tear is the bane of my existence. i found out that if you play an old old ass cartoon on an old dvd player to a shitty mobile projector that the image tears so annoyingly bad its unwatchable. not sure why either. i know it has to do with a frame rate being too high for a system or something. but why is it that this one cartoon from the 40s is the only one that does it?
Screen tear (aka non-vsync) is another one of those 'we didn't think things through' issues.
For gaming to 'feel' smooth you need low latency. Thing is on modern systems there are many sources of latency. Mouse input latency, message queue latency, frame processing latency. Most modern games/APIs (DX/OpenGL/Vulkan) also render 2-3 frames ahead to keep parallelism high and keep the GPU fed. Also modern TVs also have frame buffers that can have 1-2 frame delays while they upscale/denoise/process the input.
This has meant that while gaming graphics and processing power has gotten orders of magnitude better, latency has gotten worse. This is why most pro gamers play at 120 fps (or higher), not because it looks better but because it 'feels' better (ie. latency). This is why old SNES games often play better than modern games (in terms of feel/control), because they are running lower latency.
Course even 120fps can 'feel' slow compared to old school games (which ran at 60fps with almost no additional latency, no frame buffers, no queue's, just blasting the pixel straight out to the screen) and screens can only update so fast, so the next obvious solution is to just turn off v-sync and let the GPU pump out 100's of frames per second. You still have the TV lag and input lag, but at least you've minimized the GPU lag.
It's not a hard fix but video card companies need to justify pushing new generations of video cards out, and people care more about FPS than playability, so nothing changes.
I hate vsync, it creates an input lag for mouse/keyboard which is very noticeable. For games that don't require a mouse, or use a controller it's not quite as noticeable.
So I bought a TV that supports vsync with my Nvidia card, now I get no screen tearing and no noticeable input lag.
Technology can be great
Ugh, your editing, man. Top notch as always! I swear it's almost wasted on TH-cam.
This is the best explanation of interlacing available. And until now I had no idea it was done to give the glass phosphors time to fade.
Always a good day when Captain D posts!
Hey just wanted to say I love your videos, that is all
Out of well over a hundred subs, he's one of only two TH-camrs I have notifications turned on.
Well that's nice.
It goes w/o saying, but your videos are in-flippin-credible!!!
You put so much effort
I have never quite gotten 3:2 pulldown until that graphic @ 3:09. Thanks, Captain D!
I’m not even into VFX but he makes it look cool👌👌
OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done Captain!

You're such a localization of the positive, potent human attributes. Intelligence and humor, honed skill sets and bases of knowledge, humility and wisdom; how fortunate to have drawn the Alan card! And that you leverage all that in an attempt to help people by informing them and making them laugh- that's a service to the species and thank you because we need that. My kids watch youtube exclusively and so as a result i despise around 90% of what emanates out of the living room display at any given time for many reasons. So i was really glad to note my 11yrd old son binge watching you while i made dinner recently, and i was laughing my ass off. I was also gladdened to learn of your seeming friendships with SmarterEveryDay and Mark Rober. While it obviously can't be the only truth it seems like the internet connects, coordinates and amplifies assholes and trash most of the time, so the whiff of the occasional opposite was also appreciated. I think all three of you are amazing people and it's reassuring somehow to see you come together..a justice league of sorts.
I think i heard you use a sample from a song on a compilation record I bought last year from a label called Inner Ocean Records. The album is called Bless Vol. 1. The artist is named Lost Pages and the song is called U End Me (i may have the reversed). You slowed it down but, did I hear that right? It's during one of the introspection monologues during the skiing ostriches debunk around minute 5.
I've also noticed several mentions about the racial inequities in our culture. If in fact you do have that record and it's because you're into that kind of music, you might give Vast Aire a try. It's an intersection of that perspective, that music type and he adds clever facets to established human entertainment formats just as you do.
Captain- I salute you.
Rewatched this video after many years and it gave me an idea for how to massively simplify a project I've been working on. Thanks Captain D!
Who ended up getting distracted while finding the corrected section and just watched the whole video again?
Gaurav G. You didn’t follow the instructions 😂
well i did it bur it came with the cost of two phones
Loving the shorter informative videos. And still loving the sarcastic and arrogant personality of CD. Please keep them coming...
WOW!! That didn't take much work at all... Very creative Captain as always.(Editorial note) I meant going back and forth between the videos to see the corrected version. I'm pretty sure it was obvious to what I meant but there's just too many variables to be certain.. Could just be some random new viewer reading my comment however not likely considering that new viewers would probably watch the most recent video before this one although maybe it is a new viewer and they also completely understood.. I'm a moron.. Love you D
oh god oh god the real talk on subscription i'm sorry i just want adobe premiere to work with after effects man. i'll eventually learn after effects i swear
Saw the warning at the start and immediately went to the time stamp. Thank you for that amazing strobe Captain.
What I love about your videos is you can't tell if they are old, one of your 2012 videos has the same good resolution, and same sort of style. I give a 20/10 for how well constructed your videos are.
Computer CRTs are quite a thing on their own, having progressive scan since pretty much the start, but do delivering more flicker than a television.
@@doctordothraki4378 Even if it was only one channel, i bet it would still be fine, as you have all the frequency spectrums in the cable, instead of having to get into a knife fight with the other channels for bandwidth.
Dear Captain Disillusion, There should be seven of you.
Please consider inventing a cloning machine.
Thank you in advance.
I want captain d to quality control my life
You always distribute the highest quality content possible. Not only that this is also the clearest and most self-explanatory lesson about interlacing I have ever seen and it's even short and funny, keep it up!
I just had a 3 hour long lecture about broadcasting analog and digital signals. you just compressed that 3 hours into 4 minutes. Thanks!
Dude your edits are godly
Btw you should make a tutorial for interlacing videos
Deinterlacing using the Yadif algorithm in Virtualdub seems to be the best way to remove artifacts from VHS
If my education had been presented like this, I'd remember EVERYTHING!
I have a Bachelor's in film and this channel teaches me way more than I ever learned from it.
Thanks for the great video CD! It's interesting to note that in my country, we are still on Analogue Broadcasting. We only started digital transmissions in 2013 and the latest news is that they want us to be totally digital by 2020. Crazy!
wheres the link to the plugin?
1:18 i love what you did there with that i card
The third option is to interpolate the motion in each field to fill in the missing lines, giving (mostly) full resolution at double the frame rate. But that takes a good deal more computation.
My favorite TH-camr! VFX + humor + tech history lessons, everything I like.
I just binge watched about 30% of your content and the only question I have is why have you not been in my recommended sooner? I missed so much great content! Love the quality
ALL THESE UPLOADS SO RECENTLY HELL YES, CANT GET ENOUGH
THANKS CAPT
That outro killed me, haha. I hate modern software practices.
As bad as I hate to say it, all the piracy left them no choice. :(
4:00 No no no no... Big no!
Please don't misinform people. There are many ways to deinterlace, but you NEVER discard or blend.
You split, interpolate and double the frame rate. No information is lost and you end up with a clean, deinterlaced video with the original framerate in stead of half.
ok but how? with what?
@@electricarchaic Depends on codec. I use virtualdub and xvid4psp, both can split the fields and deinterlace properly.
Thank you for giving so much thought and attention to all of your videos! Every time I see a new one I know I’m up for a good time :D
I don’t know how deep you end up going when reading comments but you are honestly my favorite channel on YT.
I never knew CRT monitors were basically Star wars technology and they're like 50 years old
I leave ghosting artifacts whenever I... nevermind.
Anyway, Captain, you are a jewel.
Hey Captain, great video as always! You forgot to mention the other better method for deinteralce a video: double the frame rate to create a full frame from each field, so the result is going to be almost as good as the original. (25i to 50p or 29,97 i to 59,94), the only thing is if the video is for youtube is better to upscale it to 720p to make available the option of 60p in the player.
I’ve known about this stuff forever but I think I actually understand it now!
Your content is consistent. I like that about your channel. Educational and with amazing quality.
Dont change.
