ghosting effects in the sequence
I have a client that is having some weird problems. He has a G5 dual proc 2.0 and a G4 laptop both running FCP 5.1.1 The biggest problem he has is that every dissolve he does comes out just a little bit brighter than the clips, which make the clip at the end seem to pop in color. The second problem is the he gets what I can only call ghosting effects. Random clips are showing dissolves and test renders where none existed before. If I delete the clip it seems to go away, but, if I put a slug in it’s place the effect comes back. I got it to go away by placing a slug on a different track just above the ghosted effect but since it happens more than the client would like he doesn’t want to do that all the time. I can also copy the seq, into a new seq, and the ghosting goes away. However, when I do the renders that were done in the old seq. go away and I have to render again. I trashed the prefs but it didn’t help. It all seems to be a render problem but I can’t figure what it is. Any help would be appreciated.

My first thought is that this sounds like a “White vs. Super White” issue.
Touch the right-hand Canvas window (to activate the timeline you are working with.)
Hit “Apple-0 (zero)”
Click the “Video Processing” tab.Make sure your Process Maximum White as: is set to “White”
and select “Render in 8-bit YUV”.
Then re-render your effects. -
What are the specs on the clips? Where’d they come from?
All the best,
Tom

Hey, Tom
The clips are in JPEG. He likes to use that codec for his offline work.

I don’t know what the footage was shot on but it was captured in this codec. He is using white and not super white but I didn’t look to see whether he is rendering in 8bit yuv. I’ll check with him.
