lines appearing between parts of image during a ‘cube spin’ transition
Hi, everybody.
Here’s my situation: I imported a JPEG (a company logo) into FCP 5.0.4 and shrunk it down to a smallish rectangle. I created two mattes for it: one big blue one that covers the entire image area behind the logo, and one mid-size white matte, to “expand” the image area of the JPEG (because the JPEG contains text that’s jammed up against the edges of the image, and I wanted to give the text “breathing room” on the screen).
Then, preceding this stationary logo/matte thing, I inserted a cube spin transition. The transition is on all three tracks of the logo: On the blue matte track, the white matte track, and the JPEG track.
Everything works beautifully, EXCEPT for this: When the JPEG image is doing its cube spin, you can see a tiny black line around the outline of the image. When the cube spin is over, you can’t see the thin black line anymore.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?
Many thanks,
Rumi Girl

Double click on the jpeg image and put it in the viewer.
In the motion tab go to crop
Try setting all of those numbers to 1 or .5

if not.
oopen the image in photoshop and then change the canvas size to a larger size. Fill with the white color and crop it to it’s desired size in FCP.

Ps:
using option two means you will no longer need the white matte. It will save you one layer of video.

Thanks, David. I did the first thing — the changing of the crop settings in FCP — but that didn’t seem to help. I bet option two (editing the JPEG in PhotoShop) would’ve worked, but I’m a total PhotoShop newbie and didn’t quite have enough time to experiment with that solution. So I just redesigned the transition. But thank you! Now I have to go learn PhotoShop… — Rumi Girl
