adding shutter effects after the fact (XDCAM and FCP 6.02)

[Chris Poisson]

Not sure how in FCP but After Effects has frame blending which is quite good. Actually I think Motion does this as well.

Have a wonderful day.

Could you please elaborate on what filter or setting I would load up
the XDCAM footage into in Motion?

[Chris Poisson]

Mark,

I need to be in front of my edit machine to answer this, give me a half hour.

Have a wonderful day.

[Chris Poisson]

Mark,

I’m not a Motion whiz, so maybe better help on the Motion forum, but anyhow, this may be a retarded method but it would probably work. Put a retiming “set speed” behavior on the footage and set the speed to 100%. In the properties inspector twirl down the timing arrow, there are a boatload of setting you could try, including optical flow.

More I think on this, in FCP you could put a deinterlace filter on it, and depending on which one you use may get a few blendi9ng options, Fields Kit from revisioneffects.com would give you this.

Have a wonderful day.

Odd because Shutter Off would likely increase motion blur depending on your frame of reference. It may depend on what the camera calls “shutter off” but that would mean shutter is at the frame rate. 1/30 for 30fps instead of 1/60 for example.

“Stroby” as in Saving Private Ryan is due to a very FAST shutter speed which is very much not the case with any camera I know of with Shutter Off.

There’s a Motion Blur effect in FCP. Anything that moves gets blurred.

It was filmed at 24p and I checked the XDCAM Cinalta switch under the
lens and it was in the off position.
The footage was edited in Sequence:XDCAM 24p 35Mps VBR, so the sequence
settings are correct.

When a pan occurs even slow, it seems stroby to the eye on the viewer
and when a HDDVD is made, the strobe effect translates to the HDVD.

Also, all footage was brought in with the Sony XFer software, so it was an identical clone.

It really has me straching my head!

in FCP load timeline clip to the viewer

then add motion blur and set details from the motion tab

wait quite a while

alternatively in Motion app you could try some sort of time filter like strobe or even a speed behaviour

dont use the speed changes in motion as suggested here this will not make any difference unless actually asking for changes to the speed

if more nice control needed look into reel smart plugin for motion blurring

Well…. that answers the question a little better.

Your watching your finished 24p project on a 60i monitor. Any motion will appear “stroby”. That is the translation issue between 24 fps on a 60 fields per second monitor.

Have you viewed your HDDVD on a 1080p monitor? Chances are it will look stunning.

Actually, I have never viewed it on a SD monitor; only on a HD 1080p
monitor; and the footage still looks strobey.

very odd
