Premiere Pro CS4, Borris Smooth Tone, Adorage transition

Posted by Saad Khan on April 26, 2011 at 1:24 pm

Hi. After use a Prodad transition in Premiere. It looks great. I export my sequence into an Avi, then, I add borris smooth tone(see settings in Jpeg below). After I add the smooth tone effect, I can see that the transition flickers. It dose’nt flicker before I add the smooth tone. I know these are third party plug ins. I’ve wrote to Prodad and they say well, it’s fine before you add the borris plug in so it’s nothing to do with us. I’m still awaiting a response from Borris. Has anyone had this issue. If not could someone suggest how I could go about solving this issue?

Here is the effect and settings for the Prodad (adorage magic) transition:

Here is the settings I have used for the Borris smooth tone

I hope these images show. Please let me know if they don’t and/or if you need more information

I’m surprised you don’t have more issues using smooth tone this way…

Smooth Tone is a great effect, but it needs to be applied to each source clip to work properly. With a master edit clip changing all the time, it has to try to smoothg varied images and it’s trying to ‘smooth’ your transition, creating some odd artifacts.

I suspect you apply the Smooth Tone effect to the source clips and you may see the issue go away.

Hi Tim, Thanks so much for your reply. I tried what you suggested and it still gives me the same results. I put them on the source clips and then put the prodad transition on top.

I’ve been trying other options such as not applying the smoothtone on the source clip where the transition is and problem solved, however it’s a tedious task. Is there anything else you can think of?

Is there some interlacing issue?

Do you have a mismatch between the footage and the sequence where one is progressive and the other is interlaced?

Is it possible that the ProDad stuff defaults to one or the other when interacting with the Boris Effect?

I don’t have any ProDad stuff. I’m not familiar with it at all. Is it something you can try to duplicate with another tool and see if there is a similar interaction problem?

Hey Tim, I was trying to give you a Kudo and I accidently pressed the solution button. Sorry.

Hey Tim, This was the reply from the Borris technical support. ‘Hello, please use the Vitascene transition without additional Boris effect.

Thanks.’

I’ve tried looking how to change interlacing settinigs on the effect and couldn’t see any.

Hi Tim, Problem solved. It was the first time I used the effect and tweaked some settings I shouldn’t have. I was just playing around to see what each one did. Your answer was very good though.

Thanks again
