  • stop frame ghosting in fcp

    Not sure if this is an fcp issue or an aftereffects’ issue?
    I’m making a stop from animation. I have used after effects to assemble all the images and scale them and position them, as I would like. I imported them as a movie sequence. I’ve exported this as apple pro ress 422.
    In fcp I have slowed it down to 25% some clips I will want at 100% some less.
    It appears to have a ghosting effect on it when slowed down. When going though the clip one frame at a time on any thing less than 100% speed it appears there is a cross dissolve going on. The only way I’ve been able to remove this by using optical flow but on a 13 second clip its taken 36 mins and then in fcp its taken 18mins.
    Am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks for any help or advice.

    When you do slo mo with FCP alone, you’re introducing frame blending. That’s what you are seeing. Only way around this is to use optical flow in Motion. Faster computer=faster renders too…

    Under Motion tab, Time Remap, turn off frame blending.
