Hello Dino,

Thanks for the info. That is kind of tricky, and yet
simple!

One last note, I usually right click my transition in the timeline, and
set it to “Start on Edit” or “End on Edit”. but… I am doing this
on still images that are staggered on the timeline (V1,V2,V1, etc)

I will be paying attention to “getting a handle” on clips in the future!

Hello Tom and Walter,

I feel pretty dumb. How many times have I heard the word “handles” as far as clips in FCP???? hmmm. I went back and added IN and OUT points
to give each clip 10 frames (10 on the IN point of clip b, and 10 on the out point of clip a).

Need I say more?

Thanks for the response and help as always,

Hello Noah,

Well, “moving on”, I will move it into FCP! I was wondering about that.

Hello Dave et al,
Hope you see this post/reply. If I do not get a reply, I will
try re-posting on the main FCP site.

Even though this thread is over a year old, it does apply to me in a sense. I am developing a fairly long program using stills in FCP.

I do notice the images that have no motion (pans, etc) are quite sharp, as are the source tiffs. I am judging the “quality” from the FCP sequence in the canvas. I notice some “artifacting” or fuzziness on images that I pan or zoom on. You mention ProRes 422 as a way to “preserve” the still image quality. I like the sound of that.
I do not remember, at this moment, what my sequence in FCP is set for. That may be my problem. I will check that.

I plan to output the sequence to dvd, and use the 4×3 NTSC DV setting. I will assume that I should send the sequence to compressor for this.

What would be the “correct” settings for my sequence in FCP?
I am using 3 image sizes, cropped down to 720×540 for no motion, 1440×540 for horizontal pans, and 720×1080 for vertical pans, and 1800×1350 for images I would like to zoom in or out on. All these pixel settings are at 72dpi.

Thanks for a good resource on FCP.

Hello Simon,

I guess I should be “aware” of the difference you mention by now!!

Thanks, I will check it out. I am planning to put it on a dvd/tv.

Thanks,

Hello Guys,

I have semi-good news. I do not want to cut the cannon out of the image. That would be a fair amount of work. Although, after I become more familiar with AE, that would be a good exercise for me! My first idea is to just move the entire image (720×480) back a little, jump forward a very little (and fast), then back to orig position. I will guess that After Effects would be the best choice again. A “bounce” back, and then move back to orig x pos, with a little bounce.

I have been watching, in amazement, the creative cow tutorials, and what Afer effects can do!! But, it must be in the “right hands”.

Thanks as always,

Eric

Hello Guys,

Once again Cow to the rescue! I have been watching the podcasts by your panel of experts (not using the term loosely), including Ahron, but have not made it to the “boomerang and bezier” as yet, but now I will!!! – for my quick and dirty I will try Dave’s hold keyframe suggestion.

Again, thank for this great forum.

Eric
