After Export, Moving Stills flickering

Hello,
I've shot a project in AVCHD, imported into FCP and exported through Compressor using H.264, 464 kps, Keyframe Auto, Deinterlaced filter added.
The still images (whether Tiff or JPG) sometimes flicker with black frames in between, or drop out altogether with just a black background.
I'm not sure what's going on here.

Thanks for your reply, David. My deadline's coming up fast!
Shot on a Sony HDR-SR11, which is interlaced 1440x1080 HD. I brought it into FCP Studio 2 Apple Pro res 422 codec, on a 2x3.2 Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac.
The resolution of the stills vary, most of them around 2-3mb files.
Some of the pics are dissolving fine, others aren't. And if I re-export, the same pic that dropped out before, may only flicker this time, or not at all. So it seems to me to be an issue of interlacing... but I don't know. I'm an editor, not a software wizard (sorry, I'm from the Beta tape days in news... I saw one of those in a museum last week.)
I really appreciate your help. Can't figure out why this is not reproducible over the same zone of the timeline, nor why it exports fine with short renders, but not the entire documentary.
Thanks!

  • Problem with exporting moving still images

    Hello.
    I would like to create a sequence where the movie is made of still images (photos in .PSD format, reminiscent of a old-fashioned Polaroid photos) with added motion.
    Now the problem is that after rendering and exporting (DV format, both interlaced and progressive) these moving-images somehow bounce or leap on the edges, especially inner white edge. It doesn't matter if I turn on or off the "optimize stills" option.
    I attached short sample but it shows what I mean.
    The file is 1MiB, 5sec, progressive, compressed with XviD with constant quantizer=2, resized to 640x480.
    But all above modifications of exported file do not matter what so ever. It's the same with original export.
    What shoud I do to improve fluency and smoothness of the movie?
    I use Premiere Pro 1.5.

    Hi,
    I'm a newbee...brand new at learning premiere pro cs3....so I should not give you advice but others here are very very good at this stuff. I like the effect of your sample video. When I first looked at it I thought only the bottom edge was slightly jittery, but I can now see that the entire image inside the white border does jump...the jittery-ness is the vertical (not horizontal) movement of the image about 1 or 2 pixels up and down as it is interpolated at certain points in time.  The larger the screensize of the image the more noticeable it is.
    I found this help file about keyframes and animation and interpolation...
    Change transition settings
    In the Timeline panel, click a transition to select it.
    In the Effect Controls panel, adjust settings:
    Edge selectors
    Change the orientation or direction of the transition. Click an Edge selector arrow on the transition’s thumbnail. For example, the Barn Doors transition can be oriented vertically or horizontally. A transition doesn’t have Edge selectors if it has one orientation or if orientation isn’t applicable. 
    Start and End sliders
    Set the percentage of the transition that is complete at the start and end of the transition. Hold down the Shift key to move the start and end sliders together. 
    Show Actual Sources
    Displays the starting and ending frames of the clips. 
    Border Width
    Adjusts the width of the optional border on the transition. The default Border is None. Some transitions do not have borders. 
    Border Color
    Specifies the color of the transition’s border. Double‑click the color swatch or use the eyedropper to choose the color. 
    Reverse
    Plays the transition backward. For example, the Clock Wipe transition plays counterclockwise. 
    Anti‑Aliasing Quality
    Adjusts the smoothness of the transition’s edges. 
    Custom
    Changes settings specific to the transition. Most transitions don’t have custom settings.
    Maybe the anti-aliasing quality adjustment will help?
    I put your sample clip into VirtualDub and tried a filter called "Field Bob" (compensates for field jumping in field- split video by applying bob-deinterlacing techniques). In the filter setting I tried "smooth" for both even and odd fields.  It didn't really help.

  • Small black bars on the top and bottom on video after exporting?

    I'm using 1280x720 video footage in Adobe Premiere. The problem is, whenever I export my finished project as 1280x720, the newly rendered file has small black bars on the top and bottom.
    These black bars are not there in the Premiere preview, only after the project is rendered.
    The video file created after export is still 1280x720(16:9).
    Is there any way to get rid of these black bars, as they are quite irritating because I make youtube videos regularly.

    FAQ: How do I get rid of black bars around my movie?

    We can not see your computer, your settings or even know what your source files are because we are not in the same room as you are!
    We cant see what you are doing wrong ...so you will have to tell us a lot more and show us some screen grabs of your settings.

  • Still frames in project turn blurry after exporting to QuickTime

    My sequence (standard definition) looks flawless when I play it back in FCP7 -- but after exporting it to QuickTime (export to QuickTime, self-contained movie, recompress all frames) a few of the still photos throughout the project are now quite blurry.
    Any solutions?

    ah I see, well the freeze frame is just taking one field of your material (half the resolution as its interlaced not progressive) and inventing the other half to make up the rest of the information so I'm not surprised its looking blurry on output, the reason you're not seeing it before on your screen is that you never see full res on the canvas until you output unless you use a third party output device like Matrox or Aja.
    I don't know if there are any tricks to sharpen this up (other than sharpen). I guess you could try de-interlacing the rest of the footage first? but stills out of dv res material are never going to be crystal clear.
    good luck with it

  • After exporting in Premier Pro CS6 my text flickers in the video

    After exporting in Premier Pro CS6 my text flickers in the video, how do I fix it?

    I have the exact same problem, but I'm actually using CC. I don't have an option for "match source high bitrate." Is anyone responding to forum questions out there?

  • Flickering after export

    Hi, i have some flickering troubles after export in several videos i made.
    These videos are quite easy, short and with a few effects. Generally they are made with ten video tracks and only 1 audio track.
    These flickerings appear randomly in the video output, despite the preview was great. Normally the flickering appears not in the transitions between two video tracks, but inside one.
    Actually i found a "solution": i cancel the video track with the flickering from the timeline and replace it from the video list. After this move, the export often doesn't go wrong, but this seems more a matter of luck than a final solution.
    So, can anyone help me?
    Here i report some data about my work.
    I have a small videocamera that records in fullhd at 25fps and i use premiere cs4.
    Input: avchd 1080p25, progressive
    Output: h.264 - ntsc - 1280x720 - 25fps - progressive - vbr 1 - bitrate 6 mbps - max 9 - high profile - level 4,1
    Unfortunately i haven't a high performance pc: i5-3450, 3.1 ghz; ram 8 gb; nvidia geforce gt 640, 2 gb.
    Thanks, Simon!

    Unfortunately I can't change the video source to 25 fps, the reason for this is unknown, I spoke to a customer support person and he told me that it automatically detects the video signal detection which is 1920x1080 being displayed at 30 fps.
    This is coming from my xbox which is PAL, and I am playing a PAL game, all very confusing.

  • Quality not the same after exporting movie made up of jpg images

    Basically I made an animation sequence on Autodesk Maya and rendered the sequence as 2000 jpeg images each representing 1 frame, put it in one folder and on Adobe Premiere imported and dragged the folder into the timeline to make a moving image so in other words my video is made up of hundreds of jpg images.
    Now on the editor it all looks HD and fine but when I export it via file > export > media, in order to match the sequence to the screen I must click on 'match sequence settings' which will snap the whole movie into the window rather than have it widescreen and once I do this I can't modify anything else such as codec, etc (codec is automatically set as MPEG -Frame and the output automatically is mpeg), is this normal? Why is it mpeg ajnd not avi...
    So once I export the video with these settings (image uploaded) the quality is ok but not as good as what I see in the Premeire editor, why? What can I do to improve the quality?
    On the other hand if I don't click on match to sequence settings and personally customise the paramaters such as avi, I use max settings for many things but after exporting my picture quality actually goes worse compared tomatch to sequence settings? (which has less parameters)
    Why is this happening, all my jpeg images are high quality 720p and I should just be able to export it as normal...
    I am trying to make a cut-scene to get into Unity so the codec is important as well.
    How can I make my video best quality as possible being mpeg or avi? What settings do I need to play with?

    Maybe I misunderstood, but did you actually put 2000 still images on the timeline? If so, there is another way. Go to Import and find your folder, and select only the first still in your sequence, then check the box at the bottom of the import windows that says "Numbered Sequence" or something like that. This will import the stills as a "video" clip.
    Regarding Export, don't check Frame Blending or Max Render, the first being for a change of frame rate and the latter being useful for a downscale of the frame size.You are doing neither.
    Also, never use "Match Sequence Settings". Leave that unchecked, and then choose whatever format YOU want to use for the export, whether .avi or H.264 or whatever.
    Thanks

  • My project in imovie says source unavailable after I moved the events to the backup drive. It is connected and shows up in the events library. I can see the pictures but they won't play without the source. What do I do.

    My project in imovie says source unavailable after I moved the events to the backup drive. It is connected and shows up in the events library. I can see the pictures but they won't play without the source. What do I do.

    I moved it because I did not have room on my hard drive to import my latest video. I take videos my grandkids basketball games then edit them as projects. I don't have room to move the whole events library back to my hard drive. Can I move part of it at a time.
    I filled up my 1 TB back up drive so got a 3TB to move my video projects to. Do I have to move both the i photo videos and the projects to the 3 TB drive together some how. When can I delete them off the hard drive .
    I moved all the i photo library to the 3 TB drive and deleted them out of i photo. That is 87 GB which I don't have room for on my hard drive.
    I think when I use the export movie to my hard drive it works but will I still be able to edit it later if I want. Is it best to do quick time or i tunes if I use the export feature.

  • Indesign CS4 button flashes after exported to PDF and viewed in Acrobat Reader/Professional X

    Hey everyone,
    Greetings!
    I've encountered this odd problem when preparing my portfolio.
    I've created some 40 buttons in InDesign CS4 (all according to the official tutorial) to Show/Hide Fields (specificly images), and navigate through the pages.
    The buttons all have their own Normal and Rollover states, but no Click states.
    After exporting the file to PDF, I tested the buttons in Acrobat Reader 9 and Acrobat Pro 9, and both the actions and the states worked fine.
    BUT that's not the case with Acrobat Reader X or Acrobat Pro X.
    The actions are still there, showing the images and navigating, but the states are not!
    The buttons' rollover states just flashes when the mouse hover above them, and even in Normal state, they kept *blinking* randomly.
    Frustrated for a week.
    PS. I suspected and used a Indesign file with only one simple button to rule out the following:
    1. Overlapping buttons
    2. Slow processing due to large image size
    3. Mishandling of transparency
    At this moment I'm pretty sure it's an Acrobat thing...Help!

    Thanks Dave! I was in the middle of writing this when your post came in:
    Not sure if this will help anyone, but I changed the button fill color to white and it seemed to fix the flicker. I exported each state from indesign as a PDF and recreated the button from scratch. This still had the flicker. I'm guessing something strange is happening with the transparancy of the states.
    Glad to hear it's fixed!

  • Cannot Open Excel File after exporting from Disco Plus

    Hi there,
    I got a question from one user having issue with opening Excel file after exporting from Disco Plus.
    The report has been using for a while and he is using Excel 2003 version and Discoverer 10g(10.1.2.2), he never got this kind of error before, just recently got error.
    After exporting from Disco Plus he saved file on his desktop and when he tries to open the excel it says "Cannot be Accessed, can be corrupted...." but this is not from network drive since he saved file on local desktop or C drive.
    Also not for all reports, only this particular report and only specific parameter, for example for parameter 2008 Feb opened successfully, but for2009 Feb he gets this error when trying to open excel.
    i tried in excel 2007 also , i dont think this is Excel version error, am not sure.
    Also after go live last week (we upgraded database from 9i to 10g) but i am not sure this causes ,since for one parameter working, for other parameter not working.
    Actually we should get one window for Macro when we try to open excel, but he is not getting it seems.
    Any ideas/thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks for your help

    Rod,
    Thanks for your quick response on this.
    Yes, we can export to other formats as well, but actually exporting is working, after saving the file on our local desktop/drive and when we try to open we get this kind messages or we cannot open the file, we should get message window for Macro to enable/disable but for this report we are not getting this either,
    Also this happens only for specific parameters,like i mentioned above it works I mean excel file opens for one set of parameters but for some other set of parameters cannot open.
    For example :- when we enter FEB 2008 it works, if we enter FEB 2009 it won't open the file.
    This is weird
    I am still working on this issue, may be better to recreate the report again might be helpful,
    Any ideas/comments/thoughts would be great
    Thanks

    Hi,
    +Has anyone else had this problem? Any workarounds?+
    +I have a number of pictures that just show up in the wrong place in Places' list view, but I cannot seem to move them. For example, a photo will show up as being in state X in city Y when it was actually taken at a "Place" in state A, city B. So I click on the photo, hit command-i, type in the name of a place in A/B, and hit done. (Pressing command-i again shows the new name and a pin in the correct place.) However, the photo still shows up when I select state X and city Y from the places browser. This persists even after restarting iPhoto.+
    +Any ideas?+

    Im not sure why this has been closed as it is an issue for me as well,
    eg, Trafalgar Square photos appear in the London Eye pushpin, but when checking the photos individually they are correct.
    I am fully up to date with my software and this issue only appears to have raised itself on the latest version of iphoto (8.1 (415))
    Removing the locations and re-adding them does not fix the issue you just end up with the same result or a different mixture of incorrect pictures in the push pins.

  • Cannot Export JPEG still picture from MPEG

    I am trying to use Quicktime Pro 7.1.3 to export a still picture (in JPEG format) from an MPEG video, but this is not working. I followed the directions in the QTPro User Guide: I play and then pause the video once it reaches the desired frame. Then I select FILE->EXPORT and in the "Export" selection box, I select "Movie to Picture". Then I click on the "Options" button, and select the Compression Type of "Photo - JPEG". I must say I am puzzled as to why I then see a ".PCT" extension added to the filename. Also, I don't understand why, in the "Save as" selection field, there is no selection for "JPEG" file extension, and instead there is but a single type available which is called "All Files (.)". It makes me think I am not understanding how to use this function. After I click on the "Save" button, a small popup windows appears, and it shows that a file is written. When I try to open that file (on my local hard drive) with my Firefox browser, I get a plain text message in my Firefox screen which merely names the file. I also tried specifying other compression formats under "Export to Picture", and also tried using Firefox and other programs to open the files written by this Export operation, all without success.
    If I use s different Export operation (Export to BMP instead of Export to Picture), I can get a usable BMP, and I can use another tool to convert this BMP to a JPEG, but the resulting JPEG is only a little over 30k in size, and I believe I am getting a lot lower picture quality than what I might get if QTP could directly Export to a JPEG.
    Here is some info on my environment: I am running Windows XP Home Edition with SP2. Hardware is a Dell Pentium 4 with 2.8GHz cpu, 512MB ram, and over 50GB of free space on the hard drive. I just installed QuickTime Pro 7.1.3 today (and I have already tried de-installing it, and re-installing it, and this did not help).
    Am I mis-understanding the instructions in the User Guide? Can anyone suggest how I can get QTP to Export a still image from an MPEG video directly to a JPEG file? Thanks!

    QT Pro does not export to jpeg or other image formats. Instead, the picture export (Movie to Picture) creates a PICT format file which contains the frame in the specified compression inside the PICT file. PICT is thus a container file format which can contain image in many different compression formats. If you need an actual jpeg format file you will have to export to one of the uncompressed formats and then use some other graphic utility to convert that file to jpeg format.
    Alternately, you can use QT Pro to Copy (Edit menu) the frame to the clip board and then a graphic application to import that frame from the clip board and export it in jpeg format.

  • After exporting screen recording, just shows a black video.

    I've recorded an hour and a half of screen recorded footage. it plays back just fine. It exports fine too! the problem is, once I try to open it after exporting it to desktop,iTunes etc., it doesn't have audio or video. Just a black screen for the whole duration. it'll still play, but it plays all black, no audio... Ultimately, I just want it on my third generation iPad. It wont play back with iTunes, on my iPad or even with Preview. I've tried exporting it in iPad format and in normal 720P mode.  so .m4v and .mov .My iMac is 1080P so I should be able to export a 720P screen recording. I was thinking that was the problem. it wont show video to a 480P video when I exported it 720P.. i didn't wanna export 1080P cause it was like 9 GB! any help please? i've messed around with this for days.
