Soap opera effect

The soap opera effect makes it appear as if the viewer is either on set or watching a behind the scenes featurette.[1]

The soap opera effect (SOE) is a byproduct of the perceived increase in frame rate where motion interpolation may introduce a "video-look" (instead of a "film look").[1] The image has been described as "too realistic" or "too smooth" and therefore undesirable for viewing films.[2]

This term is a reference to the distinctive appearance of most broadcast television soap operas or pre-2000s multicam sitcoms, which were typically shot using less expensive 60i video rather than film.[3] The "soap opera effect" is not a glitch or a defect, but a purpose-built feature found in many modern television sets to make the image more smooth and to compensate for the display's motion blur.[4]

Conversely, the effect has been well-received and much desired for sports, news and video games due to the very smooth-looking action displayed on screen.[4]
