Transitions render choppy in final output

[John Pale]

Blue is seen when using an unsupported codec (you wont see it a lot)

A few years ago I tried what was known as “The Dane Hack” which required tinkering with the FCP enabler file to allow RT using the Photo JPEG codec at full raster. You would see the blue bar a lot with that.

Thank you so much for that advice! We looked all over the internet, but this was the only trick that worked for us. We put a useless effect on the video, and when we rendered it, the blue sections (which showed a video that didn’t exist anymore) disappeared.

Here I am tracking down a solution and see your situation. Blue bars for me too for the first time in FCP. This is new.

Canon5DM2 DSLR 1920×1080 23.976 originals, slated and synced with loc master audio in PremierePro5.5 (it’s just better than FCP for so many reasons), output to ProRes422 native as sync master…Just for FCP.7 to take without effort; a client format request.

Blue lines at any short fade up as opacity, or video transitions??? Simple lower 3rd titles issues?

I did upgrade to UltraStudio3D new Blackmagic firmware last week…which has been good for HDMI output to HDTV.

My FCP project was from ProRes422 sync import.

Blue Line renders with native formats…Work more realtime in PPro…
