  • Installed 5.1.2 and getting strange frame skip at end of dissolve

    Posted by Mark on October 2, 2006 at 8:33 pm

    A recently working project was upgraded to 5.1.2 and I am now getting a frame skip at the end of a dissolve. While playing the rerendered timeline It will
    show on the incoming dissolving part of the transition frames from a few frames back and then when out of the transition jump to the correct frame. Any thoughts
    or similar bugs with anyone? It is not on every transition spot on the timeline either.. ….I hate seemingly random problems..

    Hmmmm…I saw this when people imported P2 footage with FCP 5.0.4. Upgrading to FCP 5.1.1 and reimporting fixed that.

    What kind of footage are you working with?

    So this happens when you re-render your frame? Have you trashed your render files and tried again? Maybe there is some sort of render conflict with the old version of FCP and 5.1.2.
    What version of FCP did you create this project in? How many times have you upgraded it?

    thx,

    I’m working with uncompressed 8 bit pipe pro capture from betacam. This project has been updated many times and
    footage has gone from drive to drive and recaptured and lost and relinked and soforth so it’s not a clean recently captured
    ducks all in a row project if you know what I mean. I have found a few work arounds for some of the glitches. might be related
    to some older captures working with new ones. Or sources that are used but not linked in the project. I knew I should have waited
    before installing this update to see what bugs show up. What was I thinking installing updates just before outputing. Doh!

    Thanks for all the help. I guess I’ll fix it with work arounds for now.

    I have rerendered. I now see that even with realtime no render if I drop the keyframe opacity one notch it with glitch between the
    key frame jumping about 15 frames. It might be related to some older captures. For now I am throwing in some work arounds
    to get some files for the client. I’ve just cut the clip at the key frame and slip it forward. Strange but works. I might just have
    to recapture the guilty clips but wouldn’t you know it my deck is out on rental right now. ha! upgrading in a middle of a project
    what was I thinking!

    Thanks for you help.
