i think I remember having this problem. I put footage on upper layers and then deleted them and the problem went away. it was like I had phantom layers that I could not see but they were causing weird things to happen.

i had the same problem last week. drove me nuts. my fix was to un-tick “use previews” on my export settings and all was ok.

hopefully i will post this page turn/peel video example correctly.

i do what you want to do all the time.
you will have to buy Boris Perspective Unit and also get Andy’s FREE Better 3d though….but it’s worth it.
you apply Andys 3d and then Boris perspective BCC Page Turn in that order.
shrink your pics back to 50 in the motion scale tab.
in Andys 3d apply a -6 in Z position.
go back up to motion tab scale and re-scale to suit.
in BCC Page Turn change your Offset to see if the peel doesnt get cut off. if so then adjust Andys 3d and or
the motion tab scale.
with a little diddling you will get it right.
then apply Offset keyframes to each layer.
also run your light and shadow up all the way in BCC Page Turn.
all this is on the same timeline…no nesting crap to deal with.
i did this effect in about 45 seconds.

did you ever find the cause of the black blobs ?

[Jerry Wise]

i have not used FCP7 for a few years but it might be a prefs change or a setting on the “canvas” area.

[Jerry Wise]

yep…seems that way.
i usually put sequences that i won’t use but need to keep in a bin titled “don’t use”

[Jerry Wise]

i have that plugin. it’s from FxFactory Pro Halftones

i got a pretty good key from your pic using Hawaiki Keyer.

i think it’s in Preferences/Audio/Automatic Peak File Generation.
