Interlacing
A video scanning method that draws alternate lines in two passes per frame, developed in the 1930s for early television. It halved bandwidth needs but leaves distinctive combing on fast motion.
Spot it
- 01Horizontal comb-like edges
- 02Visible scan-line texture
- 03Flickering fine detail
Why it happens
Each frame is split into two fields of odd and even lines captured at different instants, so moving edges are offset between fields and show as jagged horizontal teeth.

Image edit prompt“Restyle this image as interlaced analog video: fine horizontal scan lines across the frame, jagged comb-like tearing along edges of anything in motion, alternate lines slightly offset, soft low-resolution phosphor glow, slight flicker banding and muted contrast. Make it look like a paused television frame. Keep the original subject and composition.”
