  multiple layer film footage problem

  Posted by Jason Bindra on April 7, 2010 at 8:45 am

  Hi guys hope you can help as Im having a real tough time with this at the moment.

  Okay here goes, I am doing a music video for a friend and Im trying to be a little creative. I have 3 different footages that I want to put together to make it look like a memory in one visual.

  So I take say 3 seconds of each 3 clips, I crop them and divide the screen fitting all three images on the screen and I freeze frame the last image on each clip for 5 seconds or so. When one clip has finished the next clip on same screen appears whilst the previous clip goes to a freeze frame mode and so forth. Whilst in freeze frame I then duplicate the clip and have a sin city look where it slowley fades to black and white whilst keeping one image in colour. Great no problems. But when I do the same to the second, it seems to conflict with the first making the first clip disappear completely and so forth with the third clip. I cant figure out why. I have attached example of this. Im running FCP studio 6 HD

  hope you guys can help. They seem to when I render it. Before render all three clips are present. dont make sense to me.

  Example:

  first clip:

  Second clip whilst first clip changes colour:

  Third Clip whilst second clip changes colour:

  Third clip after renders complete

  1st and 2nd image has disappeared, time frame view after render:

  Before 3 images render and what I want:
  [IMG]https://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w186/zedrushjay/Picture6.png%5B/IMG%5D

  Time frame before render:
  [IMG]https://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w186/zedrushjay/Picture7.png%5B/IMG%5D

  Hope you can help as Ive been playing for hours on this sodding clip
