Thanks for the reply. Those are the ones that don’t work well, at least with this level of noise. I didn’t know if the other filters might have one buried in there where you can do a noise sample.

I wish I’d found that when I was searching the forum. Excellent work.

I will note that I didn’t have the adjust any handles, at least with just two keyframes. Just add and delete keyframes at these 1/4 points. And 3 seems to do the trick.

Thanks.

I think I’ve figured this out. Set your beginning and end keyframes, set to Linear. Add and remove new keyframes at about one quarter, one half, and three quarters thru the clip. This seems to remove the unwanted extra motion.

These are all 3-5 second clips, don’t know how this would work with longer ones.

[Jim Giberti] “[Alan Okey] “Editors who dislike and do not use FCP X are not necessarily old and inflexible. It’s not that they “just don’t get it,” or that they are dinosaurs; they just don’t like it, and choose not to use it. By the same token, editors who like and use FCP X are not necessarily any less “professional” if it fits their needs.”

Perhaps Cow could make this into a carved sign and hang it at the top of the forum.”

Amen.

Jerry,

I *think* I have the VM parts somewhere in my basement. I’ll try to check this week.

[John Godwin]

Well, at least I found my elbow when I got there.

[John Godwin] “I certainly understand that FCPX may not work for everyone’s workflow. From my probably excessive reading of this forum I haven’t seen anyone claiming that, though you like to pretend they have.”

“I don’t know what you’ve been reading John, because this is the number one complaint of most broadcast editors here, and it has been since X was first rolled-out. I’ve certainly been saying it since day one. Walter Biscardi, Shane Ross, Oliver Peters, Chris Harlan, and Richard Harrington have all been saying the same thing right here since June 21st, 2011. And, two weeks ago, Mark Raudonis of Bunim/Murray, one of the largest creators of reality programming in the world, said the same as well, when he announced his company was moving back to AVID.”

I phrased that clumsily in rewriting this on my iPad, sorry. But if you read it in context, my point was that I don’t see the supporters of FCPX claiming that it will be right for everyone. I’m well aware of the people you mention.

But your comment was about Apple forcing millions of editors to retrain or die, as you said. I certainly understand that FCPX may not work for everyone’s workflow. From my probably excessive reading of this forum I haven’t seen anyone claiming that, though you like to pretend they have. I’m not certain it’ll work for mine in all cases, for that matter. But my point was that the essentials of understanding editing are common to all platforms. And that a smart person has the capability and the choice of learning one or several or all.

Why bother? Because every tool in your toolbox makes you more valuable. And I have survived enough changes in this business to appreciate that. (I’m trying to match you in condescension but I don’t think I’m capable of that.)

[John Godwin]

So two million editors can learn Avid or Adobe but aren’t capable of learning FCPX? I have more respect for their capabilities than that.

Best,
John

Works fine here. Any current projects are online. Any completed projects are archived to cheap backup hard drives (2 copies) and would have to be reloaded to my raids in any case if I needed to work on them.

Best,
John
