  • Picture breathes over Crossdesolve transtion….any filters to fix it?

    Posted by Okisada Okisada on August 9, 2006 at 10:58 pm

    I made DVD based on downconverted DV clips, which were primarily shot as HDV.
    As I review it on HD TV monitor, there are a few places where pitures breathe.
    Precisely, I used Cross Desolve transions over Black background to color pictures. Whenver the pictures go in and out of black background through Cross Desolve transitions, the pictures stretch in and out!!! It looks like a wierd effect, but I wanna fix it!! Is there any filters to fix
    it with? Or any solutions for it? Please help me!!!

    I noticed something similar, a 3 or 4 pixel shift, when viewing a dissolve on a sequence of .tga files (8 second frames to show pictures)

    The shift happens at the beginning and end of the transition.

    Looks awful.

    The motion tab settings are set for high.

    The person working on it had to resize every picture to 720×486 by hand in photoshop to get it to go away.

    Can’t FCP handle something as simple as still frames that are not exactly D1 size? Vegas can do it no problem.

    Make sure everything is rendered, even full rt effects. Go in to your sequence > render all menu and your sequence > render selection menu and check all the options, most importantly full. Render your sequence and have at it.

    I have at least 100 very high rez stills in the documentary feature I’m cutting and they are not breathing during transitions. I’d be able to see it very clearly and I would flip if it were happening. As Borjis surmised, it must be something not set correctly in your rendering prefs.

    It sounds like you totally know what’s going on! But the little difference between my case and yours is that this happens over regular moving picture. They are all shot in HDV and we used Panasonic HDV cam, which creates wierd 960?720 frame setting. I exported this guy by downconverting it to regular DV format and compress is in DVD Studio Pro, and the result I got is what you know.

    Since the wierd pixel shift is happening over the movie clip, I don’t think I can fix that in Photoshop….or Can I?

    Do you have an alternative solution for this?
    I’m really stuck….

    Should I lower the bit rate of compression from 6.0 to …I don’t know….around 4.5 or soemthing to get it work?

    Panasonic does not make an HDV camera.

    Its got nothing to do with rendering.

    I would have to render it anyways to see it on the monitor.

    Without the transition it does not shift, with it, it does.

    running fcp 5.04
