It’s ‘Moiré’ and there are various ways of getting rid of it depending on the shot.
You say you are getting it using ‘motion in Avid Pan & Scan’. Try upgrading it to ‘HQ’ (High Quality).
If however you meant Avid Pan&Zoom, you can simply change the Render Filter drop-down menu to any of the lower options (the lower you go, the better the render normally). -
Alex,
What a great Library.
Thanks again. -
They look great Alex.
If you can get download site for them, I’d love them! -
If you post your email I’ll send you what i did. It will need tweaking.

I made my James Bond BloodWall by adapting a Snow emitter. I can’t remember what it was called originally (as I renamed it unfortunately), but essentially it was one of the generic snow emitters (not one with the ‘snow flakes’, just white dots). I then made them fall very slowly and made them very big. Then turned on the ‘Don’t Erase’ option. And changed the colour. It wasn’t perfect, but looked good.

Great work Jeff.
I think everyone appreciates the time and effort you’ve taken to make this.
You might want to send it in to Kathryn at the Cow for the Illusion Tutorial page so everyone who perhaps doesn’t read the forum as often will see it. -
Ha, now I see the problem.
Tim wrote ‘Probably need to mask around 5 pixels tops’ and I read it as, top 5 pixel (lines).
My mistake sorry.
In THAT case, I’d simply do it in Paint Effect. Zoom right into the pixel(s) and apply a very small blur (feathered) on each pixel. Once you’ve made it, you can reapply the same effect to all the shots from that camera.
This is a process we use occasionally for ‘dead pixels’ which works great and is unnoticeable.
My apologies grinner, should have knon better… -
Very true.
Something you’d have to tell the Online guy about, not much point in the offline. -
For the first time ever, I’ll have to disagree with grinner.
It’s really diff’rent strokes, but if you have as many shots as you suggest in a sequence that need the same correction, Resize is by far the quickest and most satisfactory way of fixing your problem.
AniMatte, Cloning and Scratch Removal are all great tools for fixing particular shots, but Terence is correct, depending on the shot, often repeating part of the shot again is ‘obvious when there is motion in that area’. This can often look like a technical mistake and cause problems in QC.
Also, the amount of work it would take to individually work on each of these shots, deciding which tool is best, experimenting etc…, would make it very time-intensive.
Knowing the turnaround of Idol, what you need is a fast drag and drop solution, and that is Resize (HQ optional), in my opinion. -
Unless I’m mis-understanding your problem, wouldn’t just be easier to ‘Resize’ the shot slightly. If it’s just the top 5 pixel lines then a very slight Resize would be needed. If you have the render time, you should upgrade it to HQ.
Any Onliner will be used to blowing up shots slightly in Online to get rid of a myriad of rubbish around the edges.
