  • Problems around the eye area in HD footage

    Posted by Heather Spencer on February 6, 2012 at 2:06 am

    Hi,
    I’m relatively new to shooting in HD footage, so hopefully, this isn’t a stupid question. I’m shooting with a Sony Z5U and importing into FCP 7. I’m working on a project in Motion, and am finding that I’m getting a type of unusual movement ( not really pixilated, but similar ) in the lid area of the eye in the some of the subjects. The rest of the face area looks fine. Does anyone know what is causing this and how I can remedy it.
    Thanks so much for any help.
    Heather

    Might just be mpeg artifacting. Does it look blocky?

    Or better yet, add a screenshot?

    No, not blocky, more like image movement from frame to frame, but only in the eye lid area. A little bit like a zebra effect, if that makes any sense.
