ProRes HQ Output Issue
ProRes HQ Output Issue
HI. I am editing a Pro Res HQ program. The footage was shot on a Sony Cinealta F900, HDCAM 1080i. I am editing on an 3 gig 8-core macpro, with 8 gigs ram, OS 10.4.11 and FCP 6.02.The project has many large stills as well.
I have been trying to output an QT movie (use same settings) to send to a post house in another city to be used as a master for an HDCAM tape.
When I play the QT movie there are glitches. Sometimes where there is a dissolve between 2 images, it sticks on the first image, ignores the disoolve and jumps some where later in the next image. Or there is a screen of lines where there is a dissolve.
Anyone else have this problem? Any solution.
Best, Connie Simmons

What kind of drive are you playing back from? Are the glitches consistent?
Do you see these glitches in your regular timeline?

Hi. I have 2 5 terabyte esata drives. It glitched there, then I copied everything onto one of my 4 internal harddrives and it happened there as well. I can narrow one part of it down – it only happens on images – all RGB, all fairly large(3000 x 4000). If I rightclick and reconnect media – to the same media! – it seems to stabilize for a while. Then it later happens again. I have a clip of the problem, if I can figure out how to upload it.
It happens on the timeline and in the QT movie. I finally output a QT movie

Here is an example of what I mean. https://www.paintingclass.us/Pages/Glitch.html

AFAIK, 4000 px is the absolute limit for FCP.
Are you using those large images for zooming or panning?
If not, I’s scale them down. If you so, try to pre-render them (maybe using a different codec) and copy the result into the time-line.Hope this helps,

Thank you for your response. Yes, I am panning and zooming on some, but teh others are just too big I guess. I’ll scale them down.
What do you mean about prerendering them in another codec before puting them in the timeline?
THanks, Connie

do your moves in an application like After Effects- that is made for that style of animation.
