intermittent graphic cheese
i’m working with 720×486 graphics in a DV 720×480 sequence. i’m having a problem with graphics looking fine one moment and then looking aliased. they’re full screen graphics rendedered as animations, so they require rendering once in the project. i’m working with FCP 5.0.2.

when the footage is rendered in final cut pro, a preview is created to keep things running smoothly while you’re scrubbing back and forth that aliasing you’re seeing is not the final output. that is the preview render.
pause your footage and the image should not have the aliasing. that is what the final output will look like.

thanks, in this case, whether i play or pause the clip, it still looks bad. i have, though, redragged the clip back onto the sequence and re-rendered. sometimes this works, other times no.

Click on your Motion tab in the Viewer window. Is the images full screen? If ther are, look to see the Center is anything other than 0, 0. Sometimes, it might say 0, 1 or 0, -1. These will make your images and graphics look like crap. Just set it to 0, 0. OR if it already is, then set it to 0, 1 or 0, -1. You might even try 2. Try it, you have nothing to lose except a render file.

thanks, i’ll try that next time it happens. it does seem like it could be an x,y position problem since it happens randomly.

Also make sure the dark green FULL bar is checked in your Sequence>Render Menus and you have the RT pop up menu to Safe RT and Full Frame. These two things get by a lot of people.

I’d crop the images down to 480 in photoshop. I try to avoid letting FCP do any resizing to GFX.
