  • Animations in FCXPRO – bars and strange effect

    Posted by Lukasz Pressluk on October 2, 2012 at 6:41 am

    Hello,
    I produce movies with Motion 5 animations. I export animations from Motion, import to FCXPRO and try to export in current settings. Final in this part, when I’ve got animations I can see some bars and strange effect – I think it’s something with resolution. Then I convert with iSKYSoft to avi (for clients needs) and this effect is stronger. Can anyone advice me?

    If you don’t mind, a screengrab would help as well as an explanation of the settings you use.

    Jeremy,
    thank you for interest.
    I’ve got 3 screens to show:
    motion 5 screen with preferences: https://fotozrzut.pl/zdjecia/f294f47fa9.jpg
    project preferences in FCXPRO: https://fotozrzut.pl/zdjecia/f9e971bfe1.jpg
    effect with bars – so what bad in final movie – especially in speed parties of movie: https://fotozrzut.pl/zdjecia/11be0389e7.jpg

    Is that something with resolution?

    Regards, Lukasz

    That’s interlacing and perfectly normal for broadcast.

    If you are to work progressive, you can choose to render out 25p movies from motion.

    If you have interlaced footage and are working with interlaced footage, what you have there is normal.

    Jeremy,
    can I change motion project to 25p?

    In the export settings you can turn field rendering off.

    I’m not in front of motion, I can get a screengrab to you later.

    Yes! Sorry about that.

    When you go to export your movie (Share > Export Movie) you are presented with a dialog box.

    There’s a “render” tab there and you should see an option for “Fields”. Make sure this is set to “Off”.

    You can also set render quality to Best here as well.
