  • stills are shaking after export/render

    Posted by Ziga Zavrl on October 10, 2010 at 6:43 am

    hi. i am working on a web video project – HD 1280×720 in FCP (6.0.5) and i need to include still pictures (size 1180 x 2000 at 72 dpi) with zoom and ken burn effect. when rendering/exporting still pictures are shaking (only when still picture is moving – when zoom or ken burn in used).

    i try some solutions found on this forum (de-interlacing, uncheck frameblending and flicker filter) but without success. Any solutions to this problem??

    Thank you for your answer!

    This worked for me for imported tiff logos moving with scrolling credits… (in FCP 6.0.6)

    I added tiffs to the Timeline. Made them into freeze frames (i.e. select tiff in Timeline, then Modify then Make Freeze Frame). Replaced tiff in Timeline with freeze frame (resize if necessary etc). Then applied De-interlace filter with Flicker Filter (max) to it.

    … thinking about it more, I’m guessing your ‘shaking’ problem is slightly different to mine described above which I think was more to do with ‘jaggies’ caused by field issues. So not sure if my suggestion will solve your problem ..

    The ‘shaking’ thing I remember experiencing with titles created within FCP, when I put a slow zoom on them. My mistake was to create the zoom by changing the font size, rather than using the Motion tab within FCP (and making sure that the font size was correct for the point at which they are biggest on the screen).

    Dave is right that your images are too small, but that shouldn’t give you the jumps that so frequently occur in FCP. Try what he says about motion (or after effects), but perhaps also try bringing your images in and PNGs or tiffs rather than JPEGs (im guessing?). FCP hates JPEGs it seems.
