    anyone have any idea as to why a logo glitches a little after applying a transition to it, and does anyone have any idea as to fixing this eye-aching problem

    Render it.

    Make sure you did not accidentally add a key-frame that moves it to a wrong position during its time on-screen.

    [teerav] “lol, thanks. obviously i rendered it.”

    There is nothing “obvious” about rendering.
    There are countless posts here where the user did not render effects.

    What happens if you EXTEND or SHORTEN the length of the effect by, say, 15 frames and re-render?

    well, sorry. Rendering just seems like second nature. anyways though. the transition was already 5 frames long. although i did try extending it to to 10 and 15 frames. the transition is a cross zoom. after flushing the render files, one thing i noticed was that the 5 frame transition did not need to be rendered. whereas the 10 and 15 frame’s did. my sequence is set to safe RT, and im rendering all with every option checked. the logo is a targa with an alpha channel.

    Is playback set to “full” or “dynamic”? (Or at least I think that’s the correct wording — might be “full” or “sequence settings”.)

    One way to check that FCP is playing full resolution is to begin the process of editing or printing to tape, On the ready screen, if the setting aren’t right, you’ll get a message saying the playback might not be a full quality and tell you what to change.

    I’ve noticed that even on rendered disolves, if the setting aren’t right, I’ll get a noticeable drop in quality during the dissolve – including the picture appearing to shift.

    [teerav] “the transition was already 5 frames long. although i did try extending it to to 10 and 15 frames.”

    I don’t mean changing the lenth of the TRANSITION. I mean try changing the length of the CLIP(s).

    I’m trying to determine if its specifically a problem with one of the clips involved in the tran.

    Change WHEN the dissolve/effect happens on the timeline and observe what happens.

    quality is set to high and playback frame rate is set to full. there’s a button at the top of your sequence that say “RT”

    no it makes no difference where it’s placed in the timeline. i tried making a new sequence and dropping it in there. not copied, with a new transition. does the same thing. i’ve never had this problem before.

    Try a different graphic and see what happens.

    I think it might have to do with that particular graphic since the problem “follows” it.

    On another tack… Trash your FCP preferences.

    it does it with all graphics, but other projects dont seem to have the problem
