Ripped videos are weird in FCP

[Simon Webb]

That’s exactly it. In fact, I believe that your original problem of the ripped video sections of your edit looking “jumpy” on your TV is a field dominance issue. The solution may be as simple as reversing the field order on those clips in your timeline.

Cheers, and stuff!

There is an option in Mpeg Streamclip that lets you input the desired framerate. Have you tested different settings?

I explained how to do it for zero cost, but you’d rather be insulting to me than respond in a civil manner.

Nice!

Hi, Dave. I’m trying to figure that out right now, but can’t seem to get you an answer on this. How can I get there? Is it as simple as just ripping the video in Streamclip with default settings and then dropping that into my FCP timeline?

Sorry for the late reply. Happy New Year.

Hi, Wojtek. I’m inputting 29.97 with different combinations, but I’m still getting the same results. The one setting that seems to work best so far is to select “Deinterlace Video” in Streamclip. This makes the jaggies go away, but dupes every 4th and 5th frame. It still looks a lot better to watch, so perhaps I’ll just go with this. Thanks. I’m still messing with it, however.
