  • After Rendering Preview Still Images Jump When Motion Pathed

    Posted by Serling2389 on March 2, 2007 at 4:48 pm

    I have a series of high quality still images that are motion pathed (FCP 5.1.4) The pictures run smoothely before the “preview” render, however, after rendering the preview, the pictures vibrate slightly while moving. The file types are jpegs that were taken off the internet, but when coverted to .psd with photoshop, they still “jump”, only not as much. One of the wierd things is that although a majority of the stills vibrate, some do not. For example, one of the pictures that has this problem is 3729×2486, the resolution is 639 pixels.

    Unless you need to really go in close on a still like that, it might be better to resize it a bit in Photoshop bringing it a bit closer to the 720×486 size of your sequence. That will actually help you a bit more in your render time than it will with the image jumping, but it might help a bit.

    You should try applying the Anti-alias filter in your “Stylize” effects folder. I usually start with a value of 2. You will have to render-all to see the final quality, where you do not see a green bar over your timeline.

    Hope this helps.
