Strange “trailing” effect suffered- frame rates?
I import television commercials from all sorts of sources and change the tags at the end to suit our theatre (show times and dates, etc). Sometimes the rendered image has this trailing effect, like when you have your mouse leave “trails”. A windmilling arm for instance (on a ballet dancer) will have ghost images trailing after it for a moment. Or like an aeroplane propellor… get it?
After much experimenting I’m GUESSING that the frame rates of the original footage is different to my FCP project and that somehow either the importing function or the rendering process is causing this problem. Because we get the adverts from all over the world, it’s hard to know sometimes just how they were filmed.
Can anyone else offer an opinion or help?Cheers, Graeme.

Graeme,
When you say “import’ from various sources, you need to be more specific. I assume from the Web, in which case it is not likely that any of them are broadcast quality. Most likely mpegs, which would be horrible blown up. If you are having PAL/NTSC issues or vice versa then you need to convert those files.
Have a wonderful day.

Thanks Chris- sorry I haven’t gotten back before. “Life” got in the way! Yes, I get these adverts from all over, but these ones in particular are from a quality DVD from the show’s promoters. At this rate, by the time I figure this out, the show’s will be here and gone!
I’ll try and get some more information and specifics.Cheers, Graeme.
