Throbbing gristle text
Hi,
I cut a 3 minute video in FCP : footage with basic inter-titles with white text on black. Pretty simple . I export with current settings to create a big QuickTime in full DV format. I want to convert to PAL using AE’s frame blending feature, so I import the file to AE, put it on a timeline and export in PAL format. The images are beautifully blended – footage looks nice. However the white text throbs on the black intertitles.
I tried exporting from FCP with field dominance set to “none”, thinking that would do something (my random illogical thinking) but alas no go. Is there a way to fix this without re-creating the titles in AE?
Most grateful,
zilago

Sounds like a case of chroma crawl. Try reducing the opacity for te text to about 80%. DO a test on a short segment of your original video.

Well thanks for that. I didn’t try the opacity adjustment. I did use the flicker reduction effect, but it basically just softened the whole video (which by the way was not a bad result, it just didn’t solve the gristly text). Effectively the video looked nicer! I did try de-interlacing the text in FCP (duh, it just re-interlaced when I exported to QuickTime DV file) … But eventually I just solved the problem the hard way – Exported the video from FCP without the text and re-did each inter-title in AE.
Crawling chroma! sounds like a band.
