Issue Mastering Combine 4:3 and 16:9 formats
I am trying to master a timeline in FCP that combines 4:3 and 16:9 footage all on a 4:3 letterboxed timeline.
I have to make a quicktime movie file and master off of an older apple (g4) because I have edited the entire project on my laptop. This needs to be mastered to a Beta SP.
The problem is the 4:3 footage is jittering whenever it is recorded. When I am watching it on the computer as it is mastering the footage both formats are playing very smoothly like it is suppose to. However when I watch the monitor that is coming off the deck the footage is very jittery (almost as though it is skipping frames or something.)
When I play the tape back it has recorded jittery.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Is this a result of make a QT movie? How do I get around this. I have a G5 that is being updated to the new version of FCP, if I can get it updated then hopefully I can skip the step of making the QT movie, and master straight from the original timeline, but I am not sure that is going to solve the problem. Any insight into this would be great!!!
I need help ASAP, the project is due today.

Hi Tiffany,
how are you pringting your clip to video?Mac OX 10.5.2-FC 6.02-QT 7.4.1
G5 2x2Gh 4GbRAM-BlackMagic Extreme
PMBP 17″Core2Duo 4GbRAM-AJA ioHD
JVC DTV-17″
SONY EX-1 . SONY PD170
..and always a big mess on top of the table. -
sounds symptomatic of a field order issue whereby the jittering footage is being rendered with a reversed field order. to overcome this check these clips in your timeline … open each affected clip into the viewer by double clicking it in the timeline, check under the filters tab and see if there is a Shift Fields filter applied: if it is already there then remove or disable it … if it is not there then add it it (Filters > Video Effects > Video > Shift Fields). Now re-render and see if the jittering issue is fixed.
hope it helps
Andy
