  • Animated Graphic movement not smooth after render

    Posted by Paul Harb on January 15, 2009 at 6:24 pm

    Im working on a project and for some reason when I get animated graphics from my graphics person using the animation codec, I bring it into my DV timeline, render at full quality, and for some reason it turns a smooth move that she made, into a jerky mess….any thought on why, never had this issue really before. thks in advance…..

    are you adding a drop shadow in the clip’s motion tab in FCP? that can cause this

    nope nothing added to it, I even just did another test, moving it to a 10 bit uncompressed timeline, render 10 bit high quality, motion rendering to best….still jerky….Im at a loss here…

    Hey Kevin,

    Thks for the response, at least now I dont feel like Im just being absent minded about something, which is always possible. Im stumped on this one, never seen it before with FCP 5, the really odd thing is that it plays fine in the source monitor before rendering in any timeline….its just once FCP gets its hands on transcoding it, it goes to hell. Let me know if you guys figure out whats going on and if there is a fix. Ill do the same on my end…good luck.

    Are the graphics on whole, even integers for X, Y position?

    What are the exact specifications of the file you’re putting into the DV timeline? If transparency required and/or is the file being composited further in the DV timeline? If not, why do get the animation in the correct specification that matches your sequence content?

    All the best,

    Tom

    Its a file rendered out of AE using the animation codec, 720×480, and 23.98…..uhhh….23.98fps…shouldnt that be 29.97…thats gotta be the issue no? The reason i dont want to do that is because when the cut is finished I would like to move the whole thing, shot in SD DV, to an uncompressed timeline to get my graphics to render cleaner.
