  Basic 3D jaggy edges

  Posted by Joe on April 21, 2006 at 3:15 pm

  I want to rotate video on the y axis in a layer over another layer. I used basic 3D for this. The edges are jaggy and need better aliasing. Is there a work around to better this effect? Or another way to do it?

  Try this.

  Click on the clip you have rotated.

  Motion tab > Crop > “Edge Feather” (adjust to taste).

  also make sure that in your sequence settings under the video processing tab that motion filtering quality is set to best (this takes advantage of FCP5’s new scaling algorithm).

  having said all that you will always get some level of jaggies when you use that filter…it’s better than it was…but no where near what you would get in AE or Boris RED

  Also monitor your rendered images in the video monitor not the Canvas.

  Just to clarify, in my experience, using this or any DVE type plugin in FCP requires that you nest the item first, or it will rotate out of the clip boundries. That said, any edge smoothing/feathering would have to be done inside the nest.

  Have a wonderful day.
