  • Duplicate frames with graphics in FCP

    Hello

    I have a question that hopefully someone can help me with.
    Currently working on a project with a lot of graphics coming from After Effects into FCP. Green screening done in After Effects with backgrounds built in Cinema4D and now being exported through After Effects. We are exporting 2 10bit Uncompressed QTs from After Effects: one sole picture and one sole alpha. In the exports from After Effects everything comes out fine. No duplicate frame issues, jumping, etc. However, as soon as I place the image into Final Cut we get duplicate frames. Our frame rate between After Effects and my sequence are the same, 23.98 and both are set up as 10bit Uncompressed QTs. Also, as far as I know, the frame rate being brought into AE is set up as 23.98.
    If someone has any help with this that would be awesome. We have been trying to find a solution to this problem for days now with absolutely nothing working.

    Thanks

    Make sure you are rendering out 23.976 and not 23.98. Or you can take your 23.98 renders into Cinema Tools and conform them to “23.98” which will really conform them to 23.976.

    [Shaun Lavery] “However, as soon as I place the image into Final Cut we get duplicate frames.”

    What is the pattern of the duplicate frames? Does it duplicate every fourth frame? If so, the sequence probably isn’t set up right.
