Rendered transitions “jump” in HD timeline
Hi again.
More questions pertaining to the below-mentioned HD project.I have a timeline, Kona1080i @ 23.98fps. When adding a few dissolves to various clips, the will play just fine in realtime preview. Most of the clips have a CC filter on them, so I render the time line when finished rough cutting. After I render, the clips with the dissolves “jump” in time both at the oncoming and outgoing points of the dissolve. It looks altogether like a bad match cut edit from the old linear editing days. The weird thing is these jumps do not show up while playing in preview only after rendering. I’ve even tried putting the clips on different layers and ramping the opacity rather than using a dissolve. Same results! No matter how the transition is performed, it still get the jump. The video jumps back at the beginning of the dissolve and jumps ahead at the conclusion. I’m considering just jumping off of the nearest tall building.
Actually, I believe that this project is cursed since I’m seeing problems I’ve never seen before…and hope to never see again.
DVCProHD @ 23.98, FCP 5.1.4, Kona 3
Any ideas from the herd?
Thanks again…and again…and again…

in your sequence -> render all drop down is every option checked?? especially “Full” If it isnt,, check it off and render again.. see if that helps.

Hi Peter.
I checked the converted files in the browser info and the field dominance is coming up as “none”.
These were shot at 24fps progressive. Even when converted, if they are progressive would they even have a field dominance?
Guess I’m a little confused with all of the conversions these clips have been through today.
The sequence preset is DVCPro 1080 @ 23.98fps. In the preset info window, the field dominance is grayed out for this preset. Is this how FCP shows a progressive timeline?
Whew!
Tired but still kickin’ this thing around. Long day…

I had an issue with frames jumping at the beginning and end of my dissolves. To resolve it, I went into Sequence–Settings– and changed the aspect ratio from “NTSC DV (3:2)” to “NTSC 4:3”. I had to re-render my entire timeline but my jumps were gone. Hope this helps.
