Still photos unstable when adding key frame motion

[Rafael Amador]

Hi John,
Stills photos are progressive, so there is nothing to de-interlace.
Don’t set your sequence as DV..
Set your canvas at 100%..
Don’t use too big stills.
Render..
There are few hundreds of previous posts about how to make work stills in FC.

Mac OX 10.5.2-FC 6.02-QT 7.4.1
G5 2x2Gh 4GbRAM-BlackMagic Extreme
PMBP 17″Core2Duo 4GbRAM-AJA ioHD
JVC DTV-17″
SONY EX-1 . SONY PD170
..and always a big mess on top of the table.

John,

First, how are you monitoring?

Second, do you have “Full” checked in the render dropdown?

Third, try applying the Directional Blur filter, set it to vertical (0 degrees) and try a 1 or 2 as the amount, and render.

For the record, deinterlacing and field order is most likely not the issue that you’re up against. 99.9% of the time deinterlacing is completely irrelevant to most editing situations unless you require editing an interlaced source into a progressive timeline (or unless for some mysterious reason you desire to cut your video resolution in half, which is what happens when deinterlacing is used incorrectly.)

Hope the Directional Blur helps…

I think this is a QT bug. Or a FCP bug. I just had the same thing happen. I got it to stop, but not sure why. Try trashing prefs. I tried a bunch of stuff and eventually it stopped, but I couldn’t recreate the problem, so I’m at a loss as to what the problem was.
