    I am still having scanline issues. It seems to be intermittent. I can’t figure out when I will get them and when I won’t. When I look at something in the viewer it looks clean … but then when I drag it into the timeline it looks awful. Any ideas?

    Please give full details. What’s the original media exactly, the sequence settings, the versions of FCP, QT, and OS?

    All the best,

    Tom

    Sometimes I open and close a sequence and when I open it again there are scanlines where there weren’t before … this is really frustrating!

    FCP 5 Intel Mac OS 10.5 7.4.5 qicktime … i have the sequence set at CCIR 40:27 for frame size and pixel aspect. I am not using compression. The video is D1 NTCS from after effects. Sometimes I open my sequence and they look fine. They seem to decay after awhile. Another note … my Hard Drive is almost full … could this be causing distortions? Thanks so much!

    Does this material need to be rendered in FCP? Make sure your Canvas is to set to 100%, or view your material on a video monitor.

    Are you using 5.1 or 5? You should be using 5.1 with an Intel machine.

    All the best,

    Tom
