  • Field problems in FCP5

    Posted by Kathy on July 28, 2005 at 1:48 pm

    Everytime I use text or graphics in layers in FCP5, especially shadows, my fields become misaligned, causing major flickering.
    I have to do all my titling in LIVE Type which I don’t want to have to do for every little title. I use PAL. Is this a major
    bug or something? Has any one else experienced it?

    Thanks,
    Kathy

    Have you updated to 5.0.2? Had the same problem and it has been fixed.

    If you do not already know about this trick, double click your title to make it appear in the viewer window. Be sure the “center” parameter in the motion tab of the viewer window is on an even number: 2, 8, 164, 228, etc… (in the right box, which determines your vertical position). Odd or partial numbers yield soft titles evey time. You’d think they could just design a way for the title to “snap” to the even numbered lines, saving this hassle.

    Thanks for the info. I upgraded and all seems to be well.
