Flickering Graphics.
I have a red graphic with a green background for a commercial (Christmas-oriented), that no matter how I attack it from in After Effects, Photoshop or Final Cut itself, it will not stop “humming” around the edges, viewed from an NTSC monitor.
The graphic was given to me by the company we are producing the spot for. I still have it isolated as separate Photoshop layers, but saving it as a .png still produces the flicker. Isolating separate layers and altering the hue, contrast, brightness and saturation still leaves me at this dead end.
Some notes after attempting to alter the image in FCP:
The Y Position is at an even number.
The scale is at 95%, but bringing it up or scaling it down makes no difference.
Altering the field dominance (command 9) offers no changes.
Flicker Filters offer no changes either.When loaded into AE, the graphic looks fine on the computer, but when routed to an NTSC monitor through FCP, it still screams around the edges of the logo.
I will provide a link for a .jpeg of the image to help show you better.

This is happening because your graphic contains lots of sharp edges and thin lines. The only way to stop this is to add a slight blur to your image. A Gaussian blur of maybe 2 or less. You’ll have to play with the settings until you like what you see.

I loaded this on my Sony BVM 24 monitor and it truly sings a happy tune!
The thought that occurred to me was to perhaps add a black stroke of 2 or 3 pixels.
Truly problematic are those thin lines.Del

I was hoping you had a suggestion for my problem. I have 4 graphics that i’m using for an intro sequence, and i’m getting the same flickering problem as everyone else. I’ve put a .25 blur on the images, and when they are UNrendered, they look great, but as soon as i render them, they go back to the same distorted images (its almost like taking a small res. image and blowing it up until you get that slight “pixalation”. Do you have any ideas?
