I’ll have to ask our Tech guy because it isn’t on my machine. Our computers get “imaged” with a setup that he designs so we don’t actually install this stuff ourselves. Looks like he didn’t include QT Pro on this image.

Thanks for the help guys!

Hi Dave,

We don’t have Quicktime Pro. Is there a way to do this from FCP, or maybe Soundtrack Pro?

I’m sure people have different opinions on that. I’d prefer a “click to start” play button.

I always get freaked out when I visit a website that starts playing music and video stuff when I wasn’t expecting it. But that’s just me.

Thanks guys! We were able to remove the plugin and his project was saved. I’ll add “KILL THE OPENGL PLUGIN” to my curriculum.

Much appreciated,

Sorry! There is a post about 7 below this one that already answered my question. Please ignore me. Not forever…just for this question.

[Kevin Camp] “render out with as little compression as possible (lossless animation would be great, but a quicktime photo-jpeg may suffice if you can’t afford the disk space). then let dvd studio pro handle the compression to mpeg-2.”

Sorry to jump into the conversation, but I have a question about that: is it better to drop the Quicktime straight into DVDSP, or should it be sent to Compressor to be converted to mpeg-2?

Sounds to me like your mask is actually on your picture layer. Put the mask on the TV layer. That way you can scale up the picture underneath, but the mask (which is essentially a hole in your TV image) will stay the same size as the TV.

Unless I misunderstood your situation, that should solve the problem.

One more thing: I had to set it to the highest setting (Amount: Flicker Filter (max)) before it made a difference. My footage just wiggled like crazy everytime there was fast movement on the screen – like everybody was made out of gummi worms.

Anyway, let me know if that works for you. Good luck!

I don’t know if you found an answer yet (this post is a few weeks old), but I had a similar problem and (by accident) I applied a Flicker Filter in Final Cut Pro (Effects -> Video Filters -> Video -> Flicker Filter). It smoothed everything out. It didn’t look perfect, but it was usable for what I was trying to do.

Maybe that will help you. Hopefully, you solved that problem weeks ago.

Thanks for the response, Jeremy!

I want to do option 1: “deinterlace your footage and then render a progressive web movie”

Do I just change the field dominance settings in the browser window (from lower to none)? Or should I apply a deinterlace filter to my NTSC footage?

Thanks!
