January 2, 2008 at 5:03 pm in reply to: motion file rendered in FCP question

Thanks for the reply Dave – I believe I have solved the motion prblm which was the 1st sign of a mac melt down. The green box in the Canvas was centered in the left 3rd of the window – not related in size or location to the imported motion file. But soon after it appeared, playing any FCP sequence from the timeline began ‘stuttering’ and audio/video were getting out of sync. Exporting, which typically takes a few seconds wanted 45 minutes, etc.

Other non FCP issues began cropping up – like all applications were running very slow, system sounds had stopped, and activity monitor showed FCP using 16.7 TB of RAM (I assume the TB isn’t referring to TeraBytes, regardless, it didn’t seem to be reporting the actual amount of memory in use)

Anyway, a lot of reading here & over at macosx.com lead me to install Disk Warrior which showed & repaired directories on 2 drives. Also installed and ran the Maintigit scripts.

All is well again.

well I gave up – Can’t seem to make this work after wasting 3 days with a simple credit roll.

ok, setting the pixel rate at an even multiple helped a lot! I turned everything else off – field render, motion blur, & reduce interlace flicker…

I’m getting close – results are almost useable!

oops – Mark, Is the Meyers book “Creating Motion Graphics with after effects”? I have volume 1 and have been going through it… I’ll try setting the pixel rate to an even multiple as he suggests.

Thanks Mark – I believe that was where I started – since I’m looking for a progressive output I set field render off, and wasn’t using the interlace flicker option. But I was rendering to avi – can I do that in progressive, or is avi interlaced by default?

Would you give me some details on the Meyers book – sounds like I need to do some reading…

thanks,

Hi Jeff, I’ve tried both with fields off and lower, neither seemed to make a real difference, but I’ve tried so many combinations now I’m losing track even with all my notes…

I’ve give it another go with lower fields on, reduce interlace flicker at 1.2, and motion blur off.

Thanks Shayder – I tried turning motion blur on but it seemed to make the problem worse.

I’m trying a render now with Reduce Interlace Flicker turned up to 1.2 (previously had it set to 0.8)

if I had any hair I’d be pulling it out!
