Thanks Andy, appreciate the link. It definitely helps the issue. The filter does not alleviate the flicker completely but still a dramatic improvement. We certainly learned our lesson about Highlight Auto Optimiser. Disabled forever.

Best,
Jared

Hey Chris,

I am experiencing similar issues with interview footage shot with the 5D. The background was a solid grey and it is causing very strange gamma shifts whenever our interviewee moves within the frame. Needless to say, I’ve never seen anything like this before. I’m well versed with the 5D2 having owned it since it came out.

My team and I have been forum hopping looking for solutions and came across your AE links. As your posts are a year old those links are dead. We were wondering if we could discuss our issue further with you and perhaps see what AE solutions you may already have for it. Thanks a lot, your help and time are greatly appreciated.

Feel free to email directly if you wish: jared@alreadyalive.com

Just want to update. I created a new project and dumped all of the timelapse material there. That drastically dropped the project weight for the A-camera stuff. As for the timelapse project, it is still very heavy but I plan on exporting out movie versions of each timelapse sequence, thereby reducing the images from thousands to simply one movie file per timelapse. I am hoping I can then import those finished movie files back into the main project.

If anyone has ideas to further help this out… I’m all ears, but so far so good.

A project I am currently working on, a documentary with roughly 1.5 terabytes of material (Canon 5D Mark II files are exploding this project) is currently 130 MBs… I read in the previous post that projects over 100 MBs slow FCP down a lot. Right now, it is taking an excruciating 45-60 minutes to open the project in FCP. Even when open, it is prone to random shut downs and is constantly lagging.

Any suggestions about ways to minimize the project? I have a lot of timelapses with thousands of photos. I am sure that is hurting performance but I am not sure how to rectify the issue. Should I delete all render files for the timelapses and only render them at the last moment? Does that even help the project size?

I have 8gbs of ram and according to my activity monitor, lack of ram is not the issue.

Thanks so much!
