speed change problem

[Michael Gissing]

Did you open the speed change box by right mouse clicking on the clip or just using the speed control in the motion tab?

In FCP7 all the parameters like frame blending and a check box to reverse the clip is in this dialog box. If yo are still not happy, send the clip to motion which has better speed controls and optical flow processing.

i tried all these ways but same result
however i can do that motion off course but this process so easy process why can not i do that on final cut pro 7
i can do on fcp 6
also i tried all codecs apple proress,uncompres.mpg etc etc…

Do the source codec and the sequence codec match? If you have Dv codec in a timeline with different field order then slo mos will jitter. What is the original clips codec and field settings and what is the sequence codec and field settings. My guess is there is a problem with field order.

I am using FCP7 and do not have a jitter problem. Also are you monitoring on just the FCP viewer or an external monitor?

i use hd 1920*1080 i apple proress 422 hq codec and my sequence settings and clips the same codec. even i take the clip to a blank sequence fcp asks me this is not match. changege sequence settings to match the clip settings? i sayt it ok and now my sequence and clips are same codecs. however the clips when i play them revers or slow it jitter.

field dominance is none. not upper or lower and sequence filed dominance is none too. i always use upper but asisstant captured these videos none field dominance. before this job i use the fcp 7 too and not jittery but i have never capture videos from casette never. i taken the videos panasonic p2 cameras or sony hdd cameras fpr example (ex3)

may be can it be 10 bit???

by the way i use an external hd monitor but i look at canvas or wierver it’s jitter there.

I’ve had a Jitter problem with most of the movies done for a class that had very little FCP instruction, so I’m coming from a total novice standpoint. The instructor I asked had no idea what was causing the problem, but another student had “jitter” issues as well.
A jitter or shake or repeat or whatever you want to call it occurs when I use Transitions (for some clips but not for others––doesn’t seem to be a problem w/the length or stacking of the clips); when using the Text Generator for Titles, when bringing in a clip I’d converted the same way for another project (not using transitions, just hard cuts), and nesting sequences. I’ve never gotten the shakes when using an imported image and it’s usually okay for the longer clips, but not always, and much shorter clips are fine while longer ones jitter.
The only solution I found so far was unnesting sequences (even though the instructor said this was not possible). I just put the clips into a new sequence, rebuilding it as one sequence.
This solved every problem I had with that five minute and 19 second movie, but on the next project it was the same thing all over, using transitions with clips l(onger than ones I’d no problem with in the other movie) got the jitters.
I’m using subclips for all sequences, not nesting anything, and am being very stingy with transitions for this short project. But it gets the “jitters” (the second clip of the two shakes) just the same.
I too get the same message as Akin on every project asking to change the sequence settings to match the clip settings, and then selecting “ok.” This should now make my sequence and clips the same codecs or whatever mismatched setting or source code or whatever is being detected, correct?
Any kind of suggestion would be appreciated. The class is over, but I’m still working out unanswered questions, and this is the biggest one that ate up the most time and caused the most frustration.

I had the same problem and it was driving me MAD. Then I found this…right click on sequence, change speed, turn OFF frame blending. Boom! Wiered shakes gone.
