The clip itself? but it seems no problem when i open it in quicktime and i can use it for quite a while before error comes.

Now I rendered those quicktime animation to tiff sequences,
and it works very fine.
I don’t think the clip is damaged,
so I am thinking if it is the hardware problem?

The harddisc not fast enough? to play several 3k quicktime with alpha?
or not enough ram??

I got a 7200 system drive and rendered footage at a 5600 footage drive,
6gb ram.

thanks for reply first!

did a try but won’t work…

I’m working on Prores422 25p sequence,
does that matter?

[Kazumi Hatori]

I just found the problem comes up when I export the current movie.

And I should revise that, after I add titles, the output clip have a brightness/chroma shift in “no title area”, when titles pop up, the video turns to normal.

Then I chose “send to -> Compressor” to output quicktime movie(same as sequence: Prores 422), and the problem has gone!

It’s awesome but I still wonder what could cause that shift happen?

[Kazumi Hatori]

I guess I will try with adobe first…
and different noise settings.

Thanks Walter!

oh my god I’ve been thinking compressor would be the way to most kind of compressing.

I did it in compressor by chosing Program Stream,
bitrate to 34 Mbps, and tried to turn frame control ON.

Because I’m having the short film to be digitally screened in house, that it’s the specification they gave me and MPEG-II is the only format they accept.
What way can I have a better MPEG-II output other than compressor?

[Kazumi Hatori]

It’s kind of weird that the high bitrate MPEG-II is so much different from the “look-okay” Quicktime movie.

Though, I tried to double the noise amplitude,
and the MPEG-II looks fine without banding, but slightly noise.
This is so far I can come up with, but I still wonder
how do Professional guys output a clean color gradient on broadcasting?
MPEG-II isn’t a way?

[Kazumi Hatori]

first it’s pure white lightness 100% and have black stroke,
then I tried tune it to grey…….and problem is still here.

I’m using FCP 7, iMac with OSX 10.6.2, Quicktime should be most updated one (installed quicktime player 7.6.3 and the default 10.0)

thanks!

oh I just found this problem as well,
may someone give us a help?

[Kazumi Hatori]

anyone know if there will be a CS5 version of normality?

[Kazumi Hatori]

oh i updated the driver and it’s working fine! thanks!
