Boris Title 3d Flickering in Final Cut 7

[David Bogie]

Unfortunately, this is a known issue. You can search here for similar threads but I do not recall any solutions being offered. I’ve stopped using most of the Boris plugs.

What’s the format? How long is the roll?
David, do you use only Motion for text now? I still use Boris for down and dirty.

Hi,

Thanks for the replies. The format I’m using is HDTV 1080i 59.94 – Uncompressed 8 bit. The credit roll I’m dealing with is around 30 seconds or so nothing too fast, and in the past it worked great.

Thanks,

Ben

“

My down and dirty text is just built with the regular text tools in FCP. Anything with any elegance is done in Motion.
I still loathe Motion.

The boris text movement tools no longer seem to create fields and the sub-pixel interpolation seems to have been rounded off to whole pixels. It’s a mess and no one at apple or Boris is admitting it’s a problem. Lots of us just stopped seeing Boris in the menu for text objects; it’s invisible, sort of, since it’s useless.

First let me acknowledge the problem. It first appeared in FCP7. We believe it was fixed in FCP 7.01. Please check which minor version of FCP you are on and see if an update solves the problem.

Sorry for trouble,

Thank you Boris! Dave, sorry you don’t love Motion, I do. But then again, I’ve spent a lot of time living in it. It’s got some damn cool stuff in Motion 4 you simply can’t ignore.

I forgot to mention that Motion 4 has a cool Behavior for rolling titles called “Scroll Text” which works like butter. Check it out.

No, the problem persists, even in FCP7.02 – completely random flickering of entire or single characters within a line. These are completely static graphics.

I have just inherited to fix a very complicate 28:30 timeline, riddled with Boris 3D text graphics.
You can break the render, re-render and it will stop flickering in that spot but move somewhere else. To replace all the graphics would probably take a week. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr on Boris and Final Cut. Please provide a solution!
