is frame blending on graphics a bug?
Hey you crazy fcp’ers!
So i have a timeline with a series of tga graphics that fade in, move slowly up the frame and fade out (phrases to reinforce key concepts)
When i render them out, some appear to be just a field, or look field inverted. After looking through all the motion tabs and maiking sure there was nothijng unusual on, i noticed that frame blending was checked in time remap. When i unchaecked it, and re rendered the move it was all good!
is this a bug? is frame blending supposed to be on all the time? is there a preference for that, so you can set it globally?
man i keep getting burned by these little annoying inconsistencies!

Since you are referring to a still frame graphic (I’m assuming) it doesn’t seem like there should be any “frames” to “blend”. Unless it affects the animation itself, which would seem a little odd to me. In fact, I’m suprised that unchecking that box had any affect at all. I’ll have to try that out myself.
Were you talking about the way that a graphic will “swim” or “crawl” around the edges as it is DVE’d around the screen? Or are you saying that one of the fields seems to dissapear altogether? I have found that the 10-bit YUV setting is completly broken in FCP when it comes to basically anything other than cutting video. Graphics seem to have a lot of problems in 10-bit YUV. Don’t try Motion Blur, or many plug-ins or you may get green or purple frames, OR… you might see a graphic that looks like it lost a field (as you described). I have anyways. Right-click your sequence and go to the Video Processing tab and select 8-bit YUV for the closest quality that actually functions correctly.
Although if you have solved the problem already with that frame-blending button…

Wow
Thanx Todd
Ya Know, this isnt the first time i have heard “…is broken” about FCP
And you would think that graphics and 10 bit would be anything but broken, seeing as how most people want ten bit FOR graphics!
thanx again
