for Matt re: the strobing/double image graphic problem

Glad you figured it out.

Tricky stuff this, this video motion 🙂

Sorry, wasn’t watching the original thread. So this was the result of having a non-integer speed value that produced an odd number of frames?

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

Hi:

Actually, can you believe it, it did look good on my TV out of FCP 4.5, but when I made an MPEG 2 (which I need ultimately) test of the section, the same double image is still there! I posted a good result too soon. If I could send a screen grab of the graphic with its problem to someone to look at maybe this would help identify the issue.

Thanks

You have been BEGGING (!) to send someone an image of this problem since we started this 😉

(I don’t know what you think we can SEE if you send it, but no matter.)

If you want, you could POST a link to this image, I guess we can LOOK at it and maybe it will enlighten us.

To post it, just go to-

Just sign up…its FREE!
You can then uplink as many images as you want to THEM, then post back here with the LINK to the images.

I, as yet, don’t fully understand what the PROBLEM is, but a seeing a STILL of it may or may not help.

Sorry.

This looks like a NORMAL still-frame taken from a video when something is in motion.

Is this image NOT moving at this point?

[Kent Beeson]

The screen grabs were in still mode, but even on the TV from a DVD player – as it’s playing – this color bleeding and double image appears. Now if this is simply the nature of the beast, then I’ll just have to live with it.

I still do not understand what you are doing with these images.

If they are MOVING, they will always “flicker” in the paused still-frame.

If they are NOT moving, they should NOT “flicker” in the paused still-frame.

If they are on the key-frame NEXT to the key-frame when they BEGIN to move, they will always “flicker” in the paused still-frame.

As to “color bleeding” I simply do not see any of what I call “bleeding” in either picture.

My suggestion is to try this:

Do not animate the logo on this experiment.

Place a new still-frame of the logo-frame “static” (just “sitting”) on the timeline and see if it “flickers”.

If its OK, then we know its the motion that’s causing what you see as a problem.

You could then choose to do a different KIND of motion for the logo (sideways, a zoom-OUT, or anything other than a full-screen vertical motion).

Then, see if you like that better.

And please post back here with further results.

OK, I just took Picture 2 into Photoshop and applied the Filter: Video > De-Interlace.

It got rid of the flicker of the motion and allowed me to see where the gold color of the logo “ring” is riding above the rest of the image.
It looks like that layer of color is out of “registration”with the rest of the image.
If this is the “color bleeding” you’re talking about, then it looks like you have a faulty imported image (or the wrong KIND of image.)

How was this image created?
What kind of image is it? (.psd, .pct, .tif)
How was it imported into FCP?
