ALL HELP NEEDED DUE TOMORROW!!!
I cant seem to fix this flickering im having in this project its due tomorrow, I have delayed it for a week trying to fix. Any suggestions, the shot is of 5 pictures moving through the screen, and also throughout the film theres different areas of flickering.
I used the flicker filter, no help….
Field Dominance is Lower, and its a DV NTSC 720 x 480 project.
HELP!!

What is the SOURCE of the pictures?
What image size are the pictures?

did you happen to upgrade to FCP 6 recently? i’ve heard some are having flicker problems, but so far only with 1080i material, which wouldn’t affect you. also, i just now upgraded to 6 and have had no flicker problems with my already-captured 1080i material.
have you moved the clips recently? it sounds like they might be playing off a slower drive or at least “slower-connected” drive like via firewire?
any idea what changed just before the flickering started? full drive maybe???
thanks for helping out a bonehead!

Make sure you center value in the motion tab starts and ends with whole even numbers.
0,128 not 0,127 or 0,128.65
Again, make sure all keyframes start and end on whole even numbers.

really? i had heard of the centering part to be on even numbers (i’ve even heard some say they should be multiples of 4 or 8 – anyone with an official answer here?), but had not heard that keyframe numbers should be even as well…

WEll, if you are key framing the center value (which is how you move the stills around) and it’s on an odd or fractional number, then FCP screws up the rendering, if you keyframe an odd number then FCP thinks it’s an odd number. Makes sense right? You can’t have a keyframe on an odd AND even number at the same time/place, know what I mean?
never heard about the multiple 4 or 8 thing, sounds like a fib to me.

Is the “flickering” in the motion only ? If an image is moved too far too fast a sort of strobing can occur.

Once again…
What is the SOURCE of the pictures?

Yet another “I NEED HELP FAST” outcry with the urgency suddenly not so urgent…
