Steve, this is how I set it up initially but keying it by hand doesn’t work as the centers will overlap as they are rotating in. This is the perfect example:

go to about 56 seconds in where the sidewalk folds in.

I think that John isn’t realizing that you are talking about the 3d shape extruder and thinks you are just talking about 3d layers. As far as I understand the shape extruder should let you see it from the side. However, I am getting the same problem and getting an error that says that I am missing the effect, even though I shouldn’t be and it seems to be working from all angles other than direct side. If anyone has any info please help.

Gary,
I realize that this is an option, but I have had problems in the past with text overlays and still frames in FCP 5 when I have the sequence set to anything but none.
Also, because we are rendering None (progressive) from After effects, won’t that still be looked at incorrectly by fcp. Even though it seeing the render as lower, its really progressive.
Any advice…

Thanks for the advice, but in our workflow that means that about 30 times a day we will be manually changing every clip that we edit. If anyone has any quick work around or at least a way to quickly change multiple clips that would be great. Thanks again.

Gary,
We are working in 8 bit uncompressed, progressive renders.
Anyone else have any ideas, or at least a way to change the way final cut brings the clips in without having to change every clip we edit.
-
There was no captured footage, this is purely generated material. It is either completely from After Effects or from a 3d package then into after effects, either way the initial source should be inconsequential.
-
The same happens for footage that was imported in 5.1 and footage imported in 6. As Jeremy said, no consequence in 5.1 and there is a consequence in 6. There are no filters on these clips.
Does anyone else have any ideas. And why should we all just settle for FCP importing our clips incorrectly, this is basic stuff!
-
Well, I should mention that this problem is new to FCP 6. In 5.1 we did have clips being interpreted wrong, but didn’t seem to show this display problem.
We did check our render settings and it wasn’t related to that. Also, I would really like to know why the clips aren’t being imported correctly anyway. There is no reason a progressive clip should be seen as lower field first.
-
Yes, so when the footage is being interpreted wrong it causes problems. Mainly when I have other layers or titles above my incorrectly interpreted footage is when the problem occurs. Essentially the video just gets crappy looking in these areas. Everything is rendered if it needs to be and quality settings do not change this (real time settings). Once I change the footage to none, and rerender everything looks fine. Its the lower fields that is causing the problem. (even though the sequence is none and the clip is not rendered with fields).
