Smooth Cam problem in FCP7
I have a problem with the SmoothCam final cut pro 7.
I have a 2X2.26Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xenon whith Mac OS X Version 10.5.8.
when I try to use the smooth cam effect everything works in the preview but the output it does not work … Someone would have a solution or should have the same problem as me?

This might be a dumb question, but are you allowing time for the smooth cam to fully render. I’ve used Motion smooth cam feature and liked the results. Optical Flow is awesome but takes time.

I have had the same problem to the point of buying Lock & Load. It worked much better and tons faster, IMO – not to mention it worked period. 😉

Lol yes the clip are fully render …. I found many peoples whit the same problem in differents forums …

Do you guys know that Smoothcam goes back to the entire digitized clip and not just the section in your timeline. The way to make it faster is to self-export just the clip in the timeline. Then re-import it and apply Smoothcam. Mucho faster.

Yes. This is one reason I like L&L so much. The calculations are based on clip in and outs. Why the built in filter isn’t this smart is a matter of programming that Apple’s dev team hasn’t gotten to. Maybe they should just buy the L&L product and replace the standard filter with it. The results look better anyway and you have more useful control of the results.

Yeah but my problem is … All my project are already done in FCP6 whit the smooth cam on it. I don’t want to reedit my project ( just export it correctly ). But I c’ant understand why it work in FCP6 and don’t whith FCP7

My understanding of FCP 7 is that it does just apply Smooth cam to the edited clip, not the whole file. Having fixed that behaviour, perhaps there are new problems.
Last time I needed Smooth cam was with FCP6.0.6 and I used to make QT files of just the edited clip which worked really well.

Wonder if it is not liking the mtod files from 6, try applying the filter and again so it has to analyze it to see if that works. It doesn’t solve your problem but might help let you know where the problem is.

I reinstall FCP7 and I always have the same problem …. I’M the only one with this problem ?

Finally I try to reexport my quicktime in the same format … Apple ProRes 422 HQ ans put the smoothcam on it again.
All works perfectly like that … I don’t know why but it works !
