A few thoughts here… shot disparity plays a large part in the success of the transition, so if the last/first frames of the adjoining clips are substantially different, weird stuff will happen regardless.

I’ve also made a habit of parking the playhead on each instance of the Flow transition so that FCP can calculate before playback, which has helped with output anomalies.

Can you post a short clip with the artifacts in play?

How many source video clips did you start with for the edit? Is that just one file, or a bunch?

Hey Jonah,

I don’t really need anything other than the project file itself. Offline media can be re-linked once it’s converted – I’ll import it into a fresh library and do a quick visual check.

dmetz at daltonagency dot com. I’ll keep an eye out for it.

Judging by the ‘floating’ emblem, it looks like there’s a second instance of the original video stacked on top, with a shape mask applied to the emblem on the upper copy. It was probably then keyframed for scale and offset, and back again. Additional mask on the original around the emblem to bring the opacity / brightness down so it’s in ‘shadow’. Shouldn’t be too difficult.

I’ve got an old MacPro with FCS7 installed and functioning. If you’re comfortable sending the project file, I’ll export an XML with media offline that you can use to re-link. Do you still have the original media and render files / folders?

I’d recommend exporting a master file (defaults to the timeline dimensions) as ProRes, and work with that file in Compressor to zero in on the desired output.

Sounds like she might be hitting the keyboard shortcut inadvertently… which NLE does she typically work in?

Very strange. Could you post a screenshot? I’m curious about the context, and how you are getting to that panel.

I’ve got a Destination set up in FCP prefs for this, and it handles the transfer just fine.

6 months later, and this issue persists. I am baffled at the choice of forum software that doesn’t include a basic search function. Used to love this site, now it only pokes me in the eye every time I come back. Visits are fewer and farther between, because the utility is GONE.

Help us, Searchy-Wan, you’re our only hope!

Still no sort options in search – I hope you’re not still holding your breath!
