Beautiful. Thank you!

I’ll work through understanding how it works but I appreciate it!

Thanks so much Walter. I couldn’t change the value for the gamma, mostly because it didn’t show any value but then when I looked at the alpha options (I’m not a fcp guy) it looks correct when set to Black.

I’m not sure I understand why this is the solution in fcp but I’m glad it works.

Thanks again!

Sorry. I should have been more clear.

I think we were confusing the word render (I work mainly in AE) I’d pressed “enter” which apparently wasn’t rendering all the clips, just the red line areas (artwork). The video clips remained with yellow lines. After I completely rendered the clips in the time line there was no flickering on playback within premiere.

No noticeable issues frame by frame.
Reading files from external drive (Firewire 800).
Previewed as described above and playback was flawless.
I exported 2 clips (422 & mp4) Both had no flickering and no visible issues.

Looks like the issue is when the video clips have yellow lines above them, some sort of realtime preview glitch. I don’t think it’s happened before with codecs other than h.264 in my case. It happens sporadically but now that I know when I completely render the timeline I can they disappear I can edit with confidence.

Thanks for your speedy replies and assistance.

Thanks Ivan. The footage came straight from the 60D (h.264 Linear PCM, uncompressed audio 16bit 48kh in quicktime wrapper). About a 45Mbit/s.

Not sure if that’s what you were looking for. As it turns out it doesn’t export in the render (both 422 HQ and Vimeo HD mp4) as far as I’ve noticed but it’s a bit irritating while editing.

The PSD is 1280×720 at 72dpi, same as the AE Comp.
The PSD is about 17megs after I originally posted I neglected to comment that I’m also using one that has about 15 folders, each containing about 20ish type layers. I know it’s a bit but it shouldn’t shut down my machine like it does.
No layerstyles are used and if they were (wich they weren’t I chose merge layer styles but to retain layer size)

Thanks Guys.

I’ll try the forum and the trial. Might just have to be a shot to let go or send off to a 3d app and spend hours on the shader.

Looks like Mocha Pro and the remove module is the answer after a bit of searching. Thank you!

[Benjamin Thompson]

I only have Mocha AE.

If you go to:

I’ve uploaded the shot. Can what you’ve suggested be done in Mocha AE?

Chris: Bravo was indeed meant to be positive and not mean in any way. 🙂

Thanks for all of your suggestions guys. I’ll talk with my DP about some possible solutions.

Much appreciated.

That might cost more than a motion controlled camera haha.

bravo.
