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

    Posted by Tonycity on May 26, 2005 at 8:55 am

    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?

    Yes, I’m having the same issues, I unfortunately have no answer as yet. There is a “Motion Filtering Quality” setting under the Video Processing tab of your sequence settings. I found no change with that.

    Update: This was posted two days ago by Dave Simon…

    The issue of the jagged edges has been RESOLVED! Whew. It is that damn Render Filter setting in the Video tab of the sequence settings. The funny (read: not funny) thing about that setting is that when you open a project that was done in 4.5 with FCP 5, FCP goes through a conversion process. In that process, it asks you want kind of filter you want to use (Best, Normal or Fastest). Obviously, we want Fastest for two reasons. One: We’ll eliminate problems similar to what I just went through with jagged edges. Two: The conversion dialog box that you are presented with when opening an old seq in 5 actually tells you that the old sequence was done with the Fastest filter! “Yeah, we know you did it this way before, but what about trying something new?” WHAT?

    None of these helped, I switched to RT or Unlimited and Highest quality Video Palyback and REcord – still has the same problem.
