  • Glitch During Dissolve?

    Posted by Jona Taylor on January 25, 2014 at 12:34 am

    Hello Folks,

    During a dissolve from ProRes video to H264 video on a Sony XDCam 1080 23.976 timeline, several frames of the dissolve are quite pixelated. Both clips have Magic Bullet Looks filters applied. When I remove the MBL filters on both clips the the dissolve is clean and not pixelated.

    I would really appreciated it if someone know how to solve this 🙂

    Put some handles on the the MBL clips , nest them both then add the dissolve.
    Copy the clips to higher track to get the handles.

    Hi Ann,
    There are 8 clips in total. 6 on video track 1. One clip on video track 2. One on Video track 3.
    I added 15 frames to each side of the clips.
    Then I control clicked each clip and selected nest. Each clip turned green.
    Then is trimmed the 15 frames off of each side of each clip until they were the original length and fit them all back together the way they were.
    Then I tried to add the dissolves again but was only able the place the dissolve directly on the cut. Then a message saying ‘insufficient media’ appeared.
    I tried to copy the tracks to higher track and do the same but to no avail.
    I know I’m doing something wrong here. I’ve never do this an no experience nesting clips.
    Can you point to an example or provide a little more clarification please 🙂
    Looking forward and thank you one again,
    Jona

    If it shows insufficient media you did not add enough handles.

    Very good Ann 🙂

    I figured that’s what you meant and am now putting everything back together on the timeline.

    I have a feeling that it is going to work out. My guess is that ‘nesting’ makes a new sub-clip that is not so unstable when when colliding with others while using effects.

    Thank you again for your time and help here 🙂

    Sorry Anna…

    I just got all the nested clips back in place and the film dissolves applied and rendered… the glitches are still there on the first few frames of every dissolve. Just like on the un-nested clips. The images look pixelated with small blocks.

    I should mention that the affected clips are ProRes (converted from XDCam 29.98fps), H264 and some XDCam 23.976 on an 23.976 XDCam sequence timeline. One of the clips is rolling at -100 speed. Magic Bullet Looks filters applied to all clips and also an opacity on some on the clips.

    10 hours trying to solve this… I’d be grateful if you or anyone could help me sort this out. I’ve tried everything 🙁

    But wait! I’ve just made a nest out of the entire bunch of clips and there is no glitches where the dissolves happen!

    I guess this makes it difficult to easily go back in and make changes to individual clips so I’d better keep a copy of the original before nesting. Correct?

    Solved!
    I spent 10 hours trying to solve this… wish I would have posted here earlier.
    Another heart felt thank you Ann and to all the members here who continually help out… my dreams are slowly coming true thanks to you! 🙂

    If you double click on the nest you are opening the original clip in the timeline.
    Or add the effects to an adjustment layer instead of the clip itself.
