Strange jumping problem
I’m working on a sequence whereby in the middle of it I’ve put a timelapsed clock that I bought online. The sequence is a DV square pixel 4:3 timeline and the clip is 1080.
I needed to get the time to go from 10 till 2 and needed to break it into 2 clips for this.
I’ve repositioned the clips so that the clock face is centralised and takes up most of the screen.
The problem is that even though there are exactly the same motion values, they both have the same centre values and sizes. There is a very small jump between the clips and the second one appears to be slightly higher than the first.
I’ve checked and re-checked and everything looks fine, any ideas?

Haven’t you seen a green line? I suspect you watch it on playback without rendering out. Try to render a trouble-maker.

No, no green line and I have watched before rendering out. What do you mean by rendering a trouble maker?
many thanks

I meant preview mode that’s what happens when you add SD to HD sequence. Render SD segment and check out result.

You don’t say what format your time line is, but the clip is HD. Do you have an extra (or none) Shift Fields filter on one of the clips?

The clip is dvPAL and the clips are part of the same master clip, pretty sure those filters aren’t on either.

In your original post, you say that the clip is “1080”. Is it an HD clip? If so, using it in a SD timeline should require the “Shift Fields” filter since the clip would be upper field first. I believe this applies to PAL as well as NTSC, but I’m not certain this is the case. Worth checking.
