  • HELP – ASAP – jitter/pixeling with slow scale of videolines

    Posted by Tonycity on May 31, 2005 at 3:40 pm

    Hello, in a jam …… I’m experiencing a jitter or pixeling in most my photographs I captured using a Document Camera or any Jpeg.

    The whole video is a bunch of still shots, boring right, so I addedd slow zoom ins using the scale feature etc. in fianl cut pro. I noticed that even after rendering, I get pixeling in detail areas. It looks like the image goes out of focus, then it focuses, then it goes out of focus again … looking also alot like pixeling in peoples faces etc.

    My deadline is just around the corner….

    Using Final Cut Pro4HD, in DVCam preset 10bit uncompressed.

    HELP!

    PS, I thought maybe the Jpeg where too high a resolution …. but then I thought, most of the photos where captured as video’s via the document camera…

    Just an update, no problems with any images that are Jpeg. Only problems with photos captured via document camera.

    I removed the Motion-scale attributes, it is now sharper than ever. Of course, now the video doesn’t look as appealing without the slow motion scale zoom ins.

    What can I do to reacheive this, or what am I doing wrong?
    Render Filter setting in the Video tab of the sequence settings/”Motion Filtering Quality” setting under the Video Processing tab of the sequence settings. I found no change with that -did nothing.

  • Where/how are you VIEWING your output?

    You must only judge QUALITY on an external Video Monitor (not on the computer).

    And every effect must be RENDERED before full quality can be attained.

    How LARGE are your images?

    If they are too large (say, over 2000 pixels across) they can cause image “jittering” due to extra-high resolution.
    Adding a .25 to 2.00 amount of Gaussian Blur Filter in FCP can reduce these artifacts on high-rez images.

    Hello, yes I’m aware of this and I’m viewing it via an external Sony Video Monitor.

    And obviously, when I view it for proofing or pressing to video or DVD for distribution …. the entire project has been completely rendered.

    Images I’m having a problem with are not the Jpg’s they are videos of a still photo, captured via a document camera.
