  • Magical Mystery Frame from Motion clip in FCP

    i have an animated graphic i made in Motion, rendered it to a QT and imported into FCP. it renders out and plays fine…except for one pesky frame. At frame 56, the graphic disappears for one frame then reappears. i’ve toggled through it frame by frame in Motion, and it is solid. no disappearing frames. i do the same in FCP, and it shows up fine in the canvas window (no disappearing frames), but at frame #56 the graphic goes blank on the output monitor, though it still shows fine in the canvas. i’ve re-rendered it twice from Motion with the same results, so my only solution has been to make a cut at frame 56, cut out that frame and scoot the whole thing one frame. it makes a slight jump there, but hardly noticable. has anyone else experienced this one?

    Thanks again!

    Yep. Last week. But it was an AE animation. Upon render, the frame was blank. I did the same repair, except I just duplicated the previous frame so there wasn’t any missed time and jerkiness.

    Do you have any keyframes on anything at frame 56? Any behaviors that begin or end around that frame?
