Cindy,

I didn’t understand if you made the photo animations on FCP or A/E.
If it was on FCP, then I’m really sorry. Photo animations on FCP are limited and usually end um having that effect if the move or zoom is too extreme.
If it was on A/E maybe the problem is related to codec, pixel aspect or frame rate at rendering.

Hope this helps.

Rob,

Are you editing an offline telecine? Or is it video transfer to film? If it is an offline telecine then use the sequence exactly matching your footage so that there are no timecode alterations, once you start messing with those numbers the lab won’t be able to print correctly.

If your doing a video transfer to film, then you can use any sequence you want that will keep end result quality the same or better than the shot material.

Hope this helps.

Jason,

the best thing to do is to set your timeline to the smaller fps rate. If you do it the other way around ( putting your 24p footage into a 60i timeline) your making FCP duplicate frames for you 24p footage.
In a 24p timeline, your 60i footage that has a lot more information, will loose the extra data that you actually don’t need.

Always scale your timeline by your smallest footage, never by your largest.

hopes this helps.

Laura,

depending on what frame rate the video was shot, and how much you are slowing the footage down, it will get choppy even with frame blending. Try slowing it down less, so that FCP doesn’t have to duplicate so many frames.

hope you solve your problem.
