  Intermediate codec shifted half out of frame

  Posted by Sytse Wierenga on December 2, 2010 at 5:40 pm

  Hi,

  I converted some problematic material (h264 at irregular framerate..) to Apple’s intermediate codec, 1440 x1080p. FCP eats it fine BUT it’s all shifted to the left, half out of frame!? It actually is cropped, as manually moving it back to the right does not reveal its missing leftside parts.. moreover, Quicktime plays it fine.

  anyone an idea?

  2×2.8 GHz Quad-core, 4GB, OS 10.5.8, FCP 6.0.6

  Why 1440×1080? Are you mixing it with other footage of this resolution? What is the resolution of the video to start with?

  Thanks for the quick reply!

  I actually made a mistake myself, thanks for having me check again. I exported 1280x720p, h264 to 1080p for some reason. Nonetheless a weird artifact, that complete shift.

  It might please Dave that this actually fixed my problem of two days ago (Qt-fcp render relations) too! It was his hint to export in Intermediate codec that got me on track.

  So out of humble gratefullness, I will confess that the original material was not shot on a DSLR (which indeed i usually would have done) but on…… (you guys will kill me now)
  an iPod and an iPhone. Oops, credit gone. I thought to shoot a demo for a friend, and made it a test case for workflow. and found out these crappy machines all have slightly different framerates.. yackk.

  well, thanks for waking me up 🙂
