  • Flickering that occurs in cross dissolves after compression in FCP 6

    Posted by Ashley Brook on August 10, 2011 at 3:29 pm

    Help! After I compress a sequence with cross dissolves of images (JPEG) with motion for the web (h.264), there’s a weird flickering effect on the cross dissolves. Never had an issue like this before.

    INFO:
    FCP 6, Sequence is in Apple Pro Res 422, 29.97 FR- Compressing to: h.264, keyframe every 30 frames, restricted to 5000 kbs, de-interlaced.

    Thanks so much.

    [Ashley Brook] “keyframe every 30 frames”
    Why do you set that value?

    I keyframe every 30 frames because the video frame rate is at 29.97 fps.

    [Ashley Brook] “I keyframe every 30 frames because the video frame rate is at 29.97 fps.”
    The time-base has no relation with the number of k-frames you need to set for a good compression.

    Set “Multi-pass” and “Key-frames: AUTO”.
    The “Multi-pass” process will set the key-frames where needed.
    You are restricting already the data-rate; restricting the k-frames won’t help.
