video look / soap effect


Explanation:
Motion interpolation:

Side Effects

Several Side effects can be introduced by the use of the technology.

* Stable Image (Positive)

According to CNET.com executive editor David Carnoy, with Sony's MotionFlow motion interpolation objects look more stable when the feature is turned on. This is sometimes accompanied by a glitch in the picture.[2] Not everyone likes the effect and some complain that it gives film a "video" look.[9]

* Artificial look (Negative)

The "video" look side effect is also commonly referred to as "Soap Opera Effect" after the way those shows looked, having been shot on cheaper 30Hz video instead of regular broadcast equipment or film. [10]

If IFC is enabled, 30p contents are converted to 60p via the use of MCFI where intermediate frames are created from the original image. So the subfield remains unchanged (60x10=600), but motion will appear fluid (aka soap effect).

Low-level MCFI/MVFI creates new frames from existing frames to smooth out the motion, which results is soap effect.

treadmilling


Explanation:
I thought I would suggest this even though I know it's not 'technically' correct. It's a slang expression that I've seen/heard and I thought that it fits. As far as I know, there is no 'hard and fast' expression.
