little glitches...wavy things....in final video Can't Post
The video is all finished, and I've done the final render. Looking back at it again before putting it on DVD, I notice little glitchy things...like little tiny waves that go through some of the clips. Not big, nor long-lasting. Very small, and only last about less than a second....kind of like a burp. But they are very annoying, at least to me. I didn't notice them before I did the final render.
What do you think the problem is? And how can I fix it? Using fcp3, osx2.6.
Thanks...velma

Velma ... first thing you need to do is check your original footage to see if it's on tape. If that's where it's at you're probably stuck with it.
Second ... I don't know how bad it is or how tedius it might be, but if it's not on the original then you may need to recapture.

Re: Questions [In reply to] Can't Post
-Is this the final 'DV' file or is it mpeg2 encoded?
-Have you tried rendering out one of the offending sections to see if it was a rendering burp?
-Did you apply and slowmo or field changes in these clips?

Velma ... I think I'm out of suggestions on this one. I doubt that your resolution setting (found right under your sequence name) is anything other than 1 or the rest of your video would look bad.
Sorry, but I'm no good on this one.

it's a dv file. I've only encoded a short section as a test run to see if theproblem would show up in dvd. It did.
: -Have you tried rendering out one of the offending sections to see if it was a rendering burp?
no...how do you render something out?
: -Did you apply and slowmo or field changes in these clips?
some have slo mo and silk stocking effect. Some have nothing at all. Also, problem is only in the prep part. ONce the ceremony starts, no problem. Hmmmm....
thanks...velma

Did you notice the burps in the source footage? Are they there too?

Have you tried using the clips without the filters? Or just try the filters at a different setting? Or force-rerender them by adjusting the opacity up and down so it renders again...

Re: Questions [In reply to] Can't Post
Sorry about the 21 questions but...
When you re-rendered/output it, was the glitch always in the same spot or is it random? If it's random then you are experinceing a rendering glitch. If it's always in the same place I would consider the footage suspect. Maybe not the tape but the clip. Sometimes if you are using a FW drive to capture with dropouts can happen.
I would have stayed up last night trying to help but, well, 1am is my limit :)

Re: ok, now I'm embarrassed [In reply to] Can't Post
(We had a lightning strike here...internet access has been down for a few days....just now getting around to catching up on some posts.)
I got to wondering why the glitches were only in the prep part of the video....which is all from one tape. So I went back and looked at the tape, and the glitches ARE in the original tape. I have no idea why I didn't notice them until the very end. After watching that stuff over and over capturing, editing, etc., it seems like I would have noticed it before. Anyway, I guess it was just a bad tape or something. I went ahead and showed it to the client, and she never noticed it at all....never said a word about it, anyway....loved the video. It kind of makes me gun shy now. What if that happens again....how can you tell if there's a problem with a tape BEFORE you use it?
