  • I don’t understand.. FCP adding black frames on Export…

    Posted by James Veitch on October 3, 2005 at 8:16 pm

    I’ve checked and can’t find any other posts on this.

    When I export as a self contained Quicktime movie using DVCPRO NTSC it adds in black frames. It puts them after a cut.

    I’ve fiddled with the timecode (as I thought it might be the problem) but to no avail.

    It didn’t do this when I exported as non-self contained.. .
    any ideas? I’m at a loss…
    Best wishes,

    James

    How many? I have never encountered this issue myself. I assume that your original sequence is a DVCPRO sequence, not a DV sequence, correct?

    And I know that this is a dumb question, but I will ask it anyway…are you sure that you out point isn’t a few frames after picture ends? Often I will go to the end of the sequence and hit out, but the end of my sequence is black with a few dwindling seconds or frames of music.

    Dv an DVCpro are the same. It’s all D25. Just the record playback tape speeds are different, the data is the same. I have never had this problem, and I only use the DV settings in FCP with my DVCPRO deck.

    Just making sure it wasn’t DVCPRO 50. That has a higher data rate.

    It’s not just a few frames at the end though; it’s putting in a black frame after pretty much every cut (between those I’m not fading between).

    It doesn’t play this way in my timeline; only happens when i encode it.
    Could this be to do with the timecode?

    Wow, I don’t know what the issue is then. I have never seen nor heard of that.

    Hopefully someone else has…
