Jumping Frame

Posted by Steve D on May 31, 2005 at 2:48 am

I have a continuous shot of a room (camera on tripod). If I cut a section of the clip out, and slide the two remaing pieces of the clip together, the room seems to jump, or should I say that the two clips are not in perfect alignment with each other, even though it’s the same clip, shot, and room. Is there a fix for this.
The effect I’m going for here is the old Bewithed style “blink and disappear” which is simple enough if the room didn’t hiccup. Using Ppro 1.5

Thanks for any help

It depends on how it was shot. Can you provide us with a little more info as to your shooting process?

Hi, I shot a 2 min. clip (miniDV) of a section of a room with the camera on a tripod..no camera movement. I had the subject walk into the room at about 45 sec. into the shot and continue moving about.

I then captured with Ppro1.5…With the clip in the timeline, I scrubbed to the frame where the subject first appears, and exported frame as a still shot. I cut at this frame, and inserted the still between the two cut portions of the clip.

The shot is flawless from the first part of the clip to the still shot, but out of the still shot to the second part of the (cut) clip it jumps (upward)just a fraction of an inch, but still noticable…and looks like a little glitch.

Is this what you need?

Oh, sorry, one more thing. I realize what I described above is basically just a freeze frame. It’s while the still pic was viewing I used a mask of the pic, and a track matte to perform an FX thing, which was just stars fading into (turnig into) the subject theough the duration of the still shot.

hi
a very confusing clarification!
but if you were adding effects to one of the clips, it is forseeable that either something was moved or an effect inadvertently resized the image…
cutting out the middle of a single continuous shot will usually work perfectly if the camera and subject are motionless in relation to one another.

I don’t like exporting stills. I prefer to razor the clip, then copy and paste another version of the second part on to the timeline. Use Frame Hold on In Point to create a freeze frame. Then you can use the original second part to continue on at any point.

Thanks, I did as you suggested, and it worked perfectly. I don’t understand how copying the second part of the clip, then moving it to another track makes any difference, but it sure does!

Thanks again
