Camera trails on Active Camera edit
When I cut between cameras in ‘active camera’ mode, i.e, I have one 35mm cam getting one shot, then it’s part along the timeline finishes and a 200mm camera part comes in- instead of a clean cut, I’m getting a sort of morphing effect from one camera to the other (which is actually quite cool in a way-but I don’t want it here!)
This is very frustrating, is it just an option somewhere that I don’t know about?
Any help would be greatly appreciated……
many thanks,

what’s the 3:2 pulldown issue? Also, how can I have conflicting frame rates if all of this is happening inside one comp?
many thanks…….

Hi Dave,
Thank you for your detailed response. My apologies for the lack of info…..let me fill you in.
I’m running the latest AE CS5 on a 2.8 i7 iMac. The comp is at 25fps in 1920×1080 res. I’m just using Trapcode Particular / Video Copilot’s ‘Optical Flares’ plug-in and a few PNG files which are being animated. There is no captured live action footage used at all.
There are a few proxy videos in use to ease the processor load. Not sure if this would cause some anomaly. I finished the animation in full and was then onto the process of doing the cinematography on the piece when I ran into the problem.
I’ve got round it by getting my various shots and bouncing them out separately to then edit together in FCP. I actually wouldn’t have used this method and so wouldn’t have achieved a few more subtitles to the piece which I really like. So from that perspective, it’s a good thing! 🙂
Am still very curious to know what the problem might be though, as I’m sure it’ll make me swear in the future! 🙂
Many thanks,
Jack
