Green Artifacts after Rendering
Hi, I’m getting green artifacts, lines across the frame after I render and I just can’t fix it. I’m running Final Cut Pro 5.04 on a Dual 2 G5. I’ve reformatted my hard-drive and reinstalled everything, I’ve tried upgrading my ram (I have 4GB), I’ve tried putting the Motion Filtering to the Fastest (linear) setting, and I’ve tried rendering using every compression codec, I’ve also made sure that the hard-drives don’t fall asleep. The original footage is in 10-bit uncompressed.
Anyone have a clue what’s going on here and how to fix it?
Thanks,
David -

David,
That’s a problem (bug) that exists (used to) with the 10-bit codec. One of many great reasons to move to FCP 6.0.2.

Thanks for the suggestion David. I upgraded and re-rendered but the green lines are still there. Any other ideas?

Are you getting this with a drop shadow effect on text?

David,
I’ve run into this before as well, but only when working with text on top of video. I was using Photoshop TIFF files with text playing on top of video as part of a credit bed sequence. To get around this problem, I created a new Sequence just for the credit bed that and set the Video Processing to Always Render in RGB. I then exported that as a 10-bit Quicktime which I then layed into my original Sequence.
Hope that helps,
Jamie
FCP 5.1.4… upgrading soon or so I’m told
OS 10.4.9
Dual 2.5 G5… hopefully upgrading this as well

Unfortunately this only happens with the image, no text, nor any effects on the sequence. I just updated FCP 6 and re-rendered putting the sequence as DV (I already tried with 10 and 8-bit on FC6) and I’m still getting these same damn lines.

Can you please post a frame grab?

Hi, here’s a link to some stills of it.

Have you solved this? I’ve been running into this the past few weeks, and I seem to be getting around it by exporting 2 copies of the clip, 1 that’s been rendered in FCP and 1 that hasn’t, and even though they both are full of little glitches of green artifacts, they’re never in the same place, so I sort through and make a best of both worlds sequence. On a 2 hour weekly, this is killing me. Any suggestions? I’m on 6.0.5, running a fairly new 2 x 2.8 Quad Core Intel Xeon, with 10 GB 800 MHz DDR2 F8-DIMM of memory, on OSX 10.5.6

I did solve the problem. The hard-drives that held my project were FAT32. I reformatted the drives to Mac OS Extended (it may have been journaled, I don’t recall) and that took care of it. Best of luck.
