  • exporting unrendered footage from fcp/distressing footage

    Posted by John Smith on September 15, 2014 at 9:29 pm

    Hi,

    Finishing a project in FCP and I want the image to appear distressed/degraded. When I was viewing during playback, i noticed that leaving my timeline un-rendered created a look i was somewhat happy with. Is there a way to export a timeline AS IS, not rendering it out? One option i thought of was to screen cap as it played, but i wasn’t able to screen cap at my full frame size. I am looking for a way to export directly from fcp.

    One affect the unrendered footage has is that it was playing less than the normal frames per second (i.e., if 1 second was 30 fps, fcp would playback, say, 15). Is there an effect I can use to do this? Not slow the footage down, but time map it so that 1 second of footage still occupies 1 second of space on the timeline but plays back at half speed?

    Lastly, can anyone recommend any good filters which emulate video distress or damage?

    FCP also has a built in filter called Strobe that will enable you to reduce the frame rate without affecting the time. Just set it to whatever frame rate looks good to you.
