Text jerks
Hello,
I am fading in an outline text and it moves down one frame a couple of frames after it fades in maybe 5 or 10 pixels causing a noticeable jerk. Does anyone have any idea why this is? I am looking through the ntsc monitor. Also i am noticing a flicker on plain white titles over black and ways of solving this?

make sure to render all of your rt effects. Go to the sequence > render menus and make sure all of the options have a chekc mark next to them, especially full. After checking all of those options hit render all.

Thanks, that stopped the jerk but I am still having shakiness or flicker on my white titles over black, I applied the flicker filter to the text which seemed to help somewhat but not solve the problem 100%.

I imagine you are working in the DV codec, no? Them’s the brakes with DV graphics. You can try and make the text a little thicker (more bold). You should also reduce the white to 85-90% white (RGB value of 235) which might take some of the scream out of it.

Hey, who you calling a jerk?
You must render everything completely and you must view the output on a video monitor, interlaced. Your computer shows progressive and is being processed by the display card.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

I am working in 8-bit uncompressed…how do I adjust the whites? I have rendered everything and am looking at an ntsc monitor.
Thanks for the help,

you can use the 3 way color corrector and turn the down the highlights on your white BG. how are you creating the white background? Did you try and make your text more bold?

Sorry if I was unclear it is white text against black background and I am using 64 font (pretty large) text so I don’t think making it bold will make a difference.

Oops, sorry, I misread. What font are you using and what text generator are you using? Boris 3d is the way to go as it produces the best results. If you need to move the text around the screen make sure you do it from inside the filter, and not from the MOtion tab of the clip as Boris will then keep it as vector based material. Click the little cross button (from the filter tab) and change the center value. You can option drag the little red cross hatch around to the position you want. Render and you should be good to go.

If you use the pen tool to fade out your text (you’ll have to have the transparency overlays on as well), you won’t get that jittering that seems to happen when you use a dissolve to fade it out.
