    By the way, I realize this post is old, but the problem still happens today. Before finding something that worked for me, I did a search and this was the first thread I could find on the subject, so I figured if I found it two years later, somebody else with the same problem probably will too and it would be nice if this thread at least gave a partial solution.

    Hopefully new cameras will make this post irrelevant someday soon, but until there, folks, here’s weak, albeit working Band-aide to help you through.

    I have a simple trick to at least mitigate the effects of morié. I understand that sometimes reshooting isn’t an option. I have used this with positive results on shirts with lines.

    In After effects simply add 2 adjustment layers above your problem footage. Add the “median” effect to each one. Set the blend mode of one to “color” and the other to “luminosity.” Play around with your radius settings on the effect for each one.

    Depending on the type of morie that’s happening, you may not need one or the other layers, but then again you could need both. Massage the numbers until your morié is lessened.

    Unfortunately it probably won’t go away entirely and you’ll still hate the footage, but if you do your A/B comparisions, you most likely will like your “B” results better than the original.

    If you’re problem is in an isolated part of the shot (e.g. a person’s shirt), then you’ll need to isolate the problem area (I use rotobrush to quickly fix shirts with good skin contrast) and apply the Median effected adjustment layer(s) to JUST the problem area.

    And, with all roto, have fun!

    I would say no. My 4-core iMac i5 with 16GB ram stalls like crazy.

  • Couldn’t agree more! Apple no longer cares about its old prosumers. iPads and iPhones is where it’s at.

    Adobe with Mercury Playback Engine is where it’s at! Now, if Adobe could only figure out how to do more than 4 multicams I’d be happy. That’s the only thing it’s missing that FCP can do. Woops, forgot only FCP7 can do multiclip. FCPX can’t even do 4 now!

    Nice job Apple. I’m OUTTA’HERE!

    Sure wish I could get a refund.

    Total disappointment. No multiclip in Final Cut Pro X. Are you serious? Most everything I do is multiclip.

    UNREAL, Apple!

  • Once the card is in, turn on the custom preset feature and then just press the SELECT button on the custom preset area (the two buttons on the bottom right as you’re looking at the dial face on.)

    ¿Me entiendes, Mendez? Son los botones del lado derecho y abajo. Préndele primero (ON/OFF) y después preciona SELECT para ver los presets. Very easy, actually.
