Removing End Credit Roll Flicker
Hi all i’m currently trying to figure out how to remove the flicker from the text on an end credit roll in a 3min, 2k 24fps sequence. I really want to avoid using motion blur is there any way to get nice crisp text that moves cleanly without stuttering. Any help is appreciated.
cheers

Search the COW for “credits” or “titles”. Or check the FAQ sticky on the “view posts” page of this forum.

Thx for the “response” Steve but this is a film related question! I found a lot of video fixes but my issue is how to stop stuttering and flicker when im exporting to cineon and even full frame quicktimes.

Watch the sarcastic quotes, pal. Credit roll flicker is a very common question, often solved by searching. If you said you had searched the COW, I wouldn’t have asked you to do so.

Who are you my dad? Sorry to offend I know u are on staff here and u have graciously helped me out before and are ususally the first to respond. It should go without saying that anyone who posts a question on here has had a look through the search posts and even google to find the answer. When u say search the posts others who may know the answer may think “oh the answer is in the forum, he’ll find it”. There is no need for you to waste your time on such a post, it’s counter-productive at the least.
I’m aware it is a common problem but i found no such results that involved 2k exports. There is a big cash difference in putting to tape a flickering credit roll and dropping $1000-2000 on filming out a flickering credit roll. I’m just rying toi cover my bases.
Thanks Dave i will pass that on to the animator, who should really know better..
cheers

The one thing that you can never count on, is that the search engine has been used. When you have been here for years, as both Steve and I have (and others who would attest to the same thing) — in most cases, we’ve learned that the search engine has not been used. So, we never take it for granted. You are one of the exceptions and not the rule, Liam.
Sorry if that seems too direct but it’s a fact and I am saying this so that you understand that Steve was not trying to be flippant with you or anything of the sort.

i totally understand Ron i have been on here in one form or another for 4 or more years. i totally respect u guys and the amount of free time u dedicate. it just seemed to me i was being treated like i was asking how to change a light bulb instead of how to change a tire on a F1 Ferrari…or something like that!

My apologies, Liam — please realize that the “lightbulb” posts outnumber the “F1” posts around here. I’ll put the brakes on before suggesting a search next time.

Just to add to this…I hadn’t tried the constant integers approach to a scrolling graphic before. I’ve had some real problems getting a smooth horizontal scroll last month where I wanted to render out progressive, but the only way I could get a decent result was to render UFF.
Is this sub-pixel rendering drawback something unique to AE? I’m sure I’ve done similar scrolls in Combustion and other apps before that have worked fine without the flicker. I did wonder if it was a perculiarity with AE..
It’s all very well being able to fix it with rendering fields but if, like Liam (I’m not getting drawn into the lightbulb debate!!..) your only option is to render progressive for HD or film then AE, it seems, leaves you scuppered unless you can accomodate the position vs time adjustments in your comp…but sometimes that’s just not feesable if you’ve got specific timing and pos constraints.

I’m not arguing that for a second – AE is my lifeline! I just find it odd that for the world’s No.1 mograph tool it struggles with scrolling text! And the no fields in preview is very annoying aswell.
Hey, nothings perfect.
Is there another dedicated tool that is good with scrolling then?
