Transition Waves–HELP!
How do you eliminate those waves of particles that move across a screen during long fade to black?
They really get exaggerated during encoding for DVD.
Those moving waves are more visible in the viewer than in the PVM 14Lxx studio monitor that is calibrated per NTSC bars from the same timeline.Upon very very very close scrutiny, it seems that all clips appear to function the same during dissolves. Most clips just don’t reveal it the way that a lightly tinted sunrise sky performs when faded to black over several seconds. Would an uncompressed (from DVCAM) media perform differently/better?
Deadlines looming!! HELP!!
Thank ya’all in advance for your comments.

Don’t think so, you could try it in your case, but I don’t see any wavy particles during any length of a fade to black, so not sure what your problem really is stemming from. I don’t think it’s FCP per se… more likely something about the files that aren’t to spec or something… this was DVCAM material captured via FW using the standare DV preset, or?

Thank YOU, Jerry!
I’m at wits end here. Suggestions are SO welcome!
ergo:
I just examined the browser for discrepencies of any kind in the clips and the one glaring aspect relates to field dominance:
None of the source clips have a field dominance indicator in the brouser. Should they?I shot them drop frame, dvcam with a pd150 and a pd170 but someone else captured them to lacie fw800 drives via the dsr25 via firewire. The sequences are set to drop frame also.
What else would you look for? Where?
Thank you very very very much for responding.

Select a master clip, then type cmd+9 to see what it’s field dominance is set to…

Same as the browser info: “not set”

I have freeze frame jpg’s if you’d like to see the culprits.
