Frame blending when speeding up footage?
Hi there,
I have recently been working on a short film in which I am manipulating the speed of my clips in various places. I have sped one short shot up to about 300% but when I play it back I am getting frame blending. If I select certain frames I can see how two or more frames have blended. This makes the speed look ghostly and unnatural.
I am working in FCP 6 and just changing the speed in FCP. My footage is from the Canon 7D and I have changed the codec from h.264 to Avid DNxHD.
Can anyone give some advice on how to fix this?

I’m curious why you chose DNxHD rather than ProRes – a codec designed specifically for smooth editing within FCP. If either is on, you can switch off Frame Blending and/or Motion Blur in the Motion tab. Try that.

I chose DNxHD because I started editing this a long time ago with Premiere Pro on my PC. I was much less knowledgeable back then and DNxHD was recommended to me on a forum. I have seen the frame blending on both Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro.
Is it literally as simple as selecting ‘turn off frame blending’? If so, where would I find this option?

APPLE-J on the required clip.

You can also right click->chance speed and it brings up the same adjustment window as apple+J. There is a checkbox for frame blending you can turn on and off as you desire, depending on what look you want.
