  • Crawling text – Uncceptable

    Posted by Ugo Danesi on October 6, 2010 at 11:52 am

    Dear all,
    I am trying to do a simple thing: adding some horizontal crawling text to a video. I have used Boris craw and FCP Craw. The result is not acceptable: some times the text is doubled and ot fluid in movement some times the text ha lot of non allignet micro lines. I have changed all the codec and all the dominace field (I am working in PAL). I have tryied in using Export via Quick Time and via Compressor (using FCP7).

    The footage are shooted in HDV 1080i with a SONY 270. The problem is still remaing also in exportinh in HDV (quick time format).

    I am thinking (form a series of problems) tha FCP is not a PRO software but a good amatorial software.

    Some one has an idea for fixing the problem!

    Your problem is not FCP. Probably the biggest reason pros hate HDV — it makes compositing a nightmare.

    The first step in anyone’s HDV workflow should be to convert your footage to ProRes. Even better if you can CAPTURE straight to Prores and completely bypass HDV hell.
