Video breaking up? Might be a color issue, new to FCP and stuck
Hi All,
Just real quick – Been reading this forum for a while, been huge to my success with learning Final Cut Pro so far so thank you to everyone.
But now I am really stuck and hoping I can get some help.
After I render my timeline, I get a “breaking” in my video.. Almost like a hologram effect over the black of my shirt.
When I edited in HDV I never ran into this problem, but I’ve recently begun capturing from my Canon HV20 HDV cam into ProRes using the HDV to ProRes on capture method. Now my video is ProRes, and my Sequence and render settings are ProRes.
But with this change I now get this very strange issue that I can’t seem to fix. I am kind of guessing it is something wrong with my color grading, but even after turning all that way down I still see the problem.

Note those videos are from a self contained QuickTime export, and not yet deinterlaced. But even after running it through Compressor and deinterlacing I still have the issue.
More background:
I shot a batch of these videos, the first two I imported from my camera as HDV, used the exact same Color corrector settings without issue. This is my first video I imported at ProRes 422 (Not HQ). But I read that when working with graphics, and filters ProRes is the better codec to use, and I have the storage space to work with it… Should I go back to HDV?
My Setup:
MacBook Pro (Late 2008) 2.8Ghz
Final Cut Pro 6.0.5Color Corrector settings:
Highlights 264
Mids 91
Blacks -24
Saturation 109Working with a Green Screen, so trying to make the green pop for Keying
Any help you can share with me would be so great.. Been beating my head on this for a while now.. And it seems every change I make requires a render before I can tell if it truly worked.

So this breaking up only occurs AFTER you render?

Correct, only after render. If I remove an effect, such as Color Corrector, the picture in the preview player looks like it’s fixed (of course, with my color corrections now gone).
But then if I render that clip, it’s back. I’ve not tried rendering with Color Corrector totally off, because I can’t really release the video like that..
Thanks for helping a n00b!

Hmmm…I wonder if it is the color corrector. Drop on another effect, but leave the effect OFF, or set to bare minimum. Like Proc Amp. Drop it off, turn things DOWN. Render. See it?
