Jumping images in Cross Dissolve. Why does this happen…HELP!
Hi there, I have placed a series of TGA images in my timeline and keyframed them so they drift, a bit like the Mac screen saver images. I am noticing that when I apply a Cross Dissolve, or even just manually adjust the opacity to effect a dissolve, that the image will jump up and down a little bit over a couple of frames. As you can imagine it is really frustrating to see this jump in the middle of a beautiful, smooth key frame and blurry cross dissolve. Why is this happening? What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help, Simon.

Did you RENDER these effects?
You must render all effects at highest quality for them to look their best on-screen. -
I’m sure why this happens but… every now ant then I get the same error with standard video and yes… it is rendered. As a matter of fact, it always occurs after the video is rendered for me.

We just had to deal with this last week.
The solution was to make sure the pictures were as close to D1
resolution as possible.We ended up putting all the pictures scaled (with photoshop) into
a 720×540 photoshop file then exporting them .tga then re-laying them
back into final cut.The really lame part is, without the cross disolve it actually looks fine.
I REALLY wish apple would fix these bogus f/x plugins that come with final cut. A lot of them are pretty useless and these are basic things that ANY other editing software can handle with ease.

Does this happen when you keyframe the dissolve? I don’t think I’ve used the stock dissolve filters since v.1 or 2. Never did like them, except for rough offline work. I’m guessing you wouldn’t have this problem with keyframes?

just standard non-additive dissolves.
all we use really. cuts and dissolves.
we also tried setting the opacity from the start and end but fcp will not do opacity on a targa frame. it has to be video…..another bug imo since every other nle can do that.
