Realistic grain effect in Final Cut Pro X problem not covering entire area evenly…
Using the Realistic Grain effect from Final Cut Pro X effects looks great and covers the entire area on a 2028×1024 (RED)frame, except it leaves a band on each side of the rendered frame that is a stop lighter.
I don’t have that problem with the Aged Film effect, which also produces grain covering the entire area without such banding.
I wonder if any of you have run in this problem before and/or know of a solution? Much appreciated,
Thx,

Hi James, I posted a clip here: https://reels.creativecow.net/film/red-clip

Can you show what your timeline looks like there- it’s possible the aspect ratio of your RED clips is mismatched with that effect somehow.

My timeline is set for 1440×1080, combining various imports at that size and at 2048×1024. The grain effect covers everything up to 1440×1080, but not the extra width for the larger imports.
I suspect that when the timeline is set at 1440×1080 the effect only covers that size. I’ll try starting another timeline at 2048×1024 to see if the applied effect covers the entire area. I’ll post the result.
Thx,

Well, that was interesting, the effects filters apparently cover only the format specified in the timeline. When I applied the grain effect to a frame on a 2048×1024 timeline it covers the entire area just fine, that same 2048×1024 frame imported onto a 1480×1040 timeline does not cover the entire frame. Problem solved.
Thx, James!
