    Good idea, Shane. Still busted though. I wish I could show you this stuff, it’s odd.

    Well, my ProRes was transcoded. DVCPRO HD to ProRes using Compressor. Just a couple clips, so it wasn’t tthat long…1 min.

    Hmmm….do any of these machines have plugins and applications in common? As i found out, a plugin can interfere with a basic function of FCP.

    I thought of that too thanks to your geneousity, but no, there aren’t any plug in combos that are shared across all machines. Two of the machines are bare bones FCP, no plug ins installed.

    In your test, you scaled and retimed the clips, then composited them, correct?

    The timeline I have here is about a minute and consists of about 30 or so clips. I have been able to reproduce similar artifacts on other timelines with other media in far shorter of a run time.

    I did just what you listed. I have 720p 23.98 clips that I converted to Pro Res (well, one that I converted) and I have HDV 1080i29.97 footage that I converted. Then mixed and resized and did the whole “24” thing…no problem with the render.

    Hmmm…How about SINGLE plugins? You say two are bare bones? Curiouser and curiouser…

    [Shane Ross] “Then mixed and resized and did the whole “24” thing…no problem with the render. “

    Yeah but did you retime it?

    Bare Bones meaning no third party plug ins at all, and it’s still happening.

    Sounds like the processing that’s getting sent out to the GPU is getting messed up?

    I wonder if you can force a software render of the effects by putting an older plugin on one/all of the clips?

    Great thinking! I will try tomorrow.

    Hi Jeremy,
    I have the same conf than you (MaOX,QT,FC), and I’m having similar problems.
    I’m just trying to put some DV clips in an “Upper-first” sequence at 50% speed.
    The image jumps like crazy.
    If I uncheck “Frame blending” is OK but with “Frame blending” on, the image jump like crazy.
    The only way it works for me is nesting the clip and changing the speed after.

    Nesting, Hmm. Actually, the trick of putting on a filter that doesn’t do anything (desaturate with a value of 0 is what I have been using) seems to force FCP to render correctly. Thanks for that reminder, Mr Weaver. That has saved me in the past when FCP couldn’t rendered scaled 10bit HD material without artifacting.
