Jaggy Text after render in FCP

OK So I bring in my nice text animation that I did in Motion 2 into FCP 5. I park on it and it looks nice and clean. Then after I render it in FCP it looks jaggy as if the field order is reversed. So I went back into motion and to render out a field render with the animation codec. Place in the time line. Nice and sharp. Then after the render it gets jaggy and nasty. What am I not doing? Both Motion and FCP projects and DV 720 x 480 both are lower field. Both the Motion project and the animation QT look fine at first then jaggy after render.

The Spencer article. Be sure to match your field order, use a lossless codec, etc.
Yet this doesn't always solve the problem.
The answer is probably because FCP is just plain buggy.
The work around? Just go into Motion and change your project resolution... to anything that doesn't match the same screen res. Dumb huh? Just double the res, or reduce it by ONE PIXEL -- both seem to make the text SHARP.
Good luck!
Now tell me why the Motion text pops all over horizontally in preview mode but not not after it's rendered... (bugs.)

Boris Title - Missing Text After Render

All apologies if this is an ages old bug that everyone worked to fix years ago. I was a daily editor from FCP 1.0 until 2004 or so when a project caused me to walk away from cuts and edits and crashes all together. Like a masochist, I've jumped back in, but without the prior security that came with daily readings of all the proper forums. I've tried to do my due diligence (5 hours here, 2-pop, Cow, etc) but to no avail. So....
FCP 4.5/OS X 10.4.9
Previews of text when using Boris Title Crawl to create a crawl look fine, but after rendering, the beginning and end of each text string, no matter how long, are missing.
So the above sentence would read:
ext when using Boris Title Crawl to create a crawl look fine, but after rendering, the beginning and end of each text string a
Scrolls are no problem. Only a problem with crawls.
Again. Sorry if this has already been settled and I'm just overlooking the thread.
Dual 1.42 GHz G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Welcome (back) to the forum.
Have you tried...
Deleting all renders in Render Manager, then re-rendering?
using the crawl in a different sequence or project?
trashing preferences?
I'm unable to duplicate the behavior. Seems to work fine here, with that sentence.
How are you previewing?
Do you have improperly set 'Margins' in the 'page' tab of Boris...or any crops set in 'Motion' tab of FCP?
Post back,
K
EDIT - BTW, FCP4.5 works best with OS 10.3.9/QT6.5.2

Soft text after render, out of ideas

Hello everyone! I was making a Kinetic Typography video for a school project, and every time I render the text gets soft. The only time it rendered nicely, I was using the Animation codec which turned my 1-minute video into a 10GB file.
I turned off OpenGL, and rendered using After Effects with no luck, I sent the file to Media Encoder with no luck, and my teacher doesn't know what's wrong either. I showed her my comp preview and the final .MOV and she agreed that it's exporting soft, especially when the text is red instead of white.
This is the comp:
This is the .MOV
I'm sure the difference may look negligible at this small size, but I would like to put this on a demo reel and I just don't think the quality is high enough, let alone the color shift from red to pink. I understand H.264 compression loses some quality and some color information, but I feel like this is too much. I'm not sure what else to try. The comp settings are as follows:
CS5
1280x720
23.976fps
Square pixels
If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears! Thanks in advance.

When I overlay yiur images together and set the upper layer to Difference mode, there is almost no difference between the images. A slight gamma change in the rendered output causes some visible greyness, and there is a very slight visible edge to the red text.
Like Dave, I'm seeing very little evidence of an issue. Is it, perhaps, just compression artifacts you're seeing? What codecs and data rates have you tried that result in soft output?

I still have to render in FCP even after mpeg streamclip - help

I am using some footage from an app on iPhone 4 that is 480x360. Even after plugging this footage through Mpeg Streamclip, I cannot use it without having to render in FCP every single time I move it on the timeline. Someone save me from killing myself, please lol.

Sorry, yes. I did that step. It never asks me to conform - I can just put anything in any sequence and nothing ever pops up to ask me.
Then you have this option switched of in your Preferences. Switch it on, to make it happen. And notice it will only happen on NEW sequences. (What version of FCP are you using by the way?
As long as your sequence settings don't match nothing will ever work.
Switch it ON.
Go to User Preferences in FCP, and make sure you have this in the Editing tab:
Also, the program won't allow me to change the frame rate to that odd number. For some reason the framerates in different clips put through Streamclip range from 69.93, 70.93, 71.93, etc - so odd.
In MPEG streamclip fill in a framerate. I think you did leave it blanco. Fill all in like this:
Click images to see them full screen. Notice the Framerate box.
Then import that in FCP.
If you fixed the User Preferences, tehn dropping the footage into a new sequence would give you the dialog.
If that doesn't happen open the sequence settings. In the lower left corner choose Load Sequence Preset and choose the appropriate setting. It should look like this:
Now, does that work?

Motion 4 (upgrade) Templates Taking Longer to Render in FCP?

I've noticed that templates created in the Motion 4 upgrade when used in FinalCut -- more specifically those with text -- take much longer to render... in fact, up to 10x longer.
I have text-only templates used for the lower-third, after trying to figure out why a 10-second sequence was taking 12 minutes to render in FCP, I removed the video-track containing the Motion template, which result in a render-time of about 20 seconds.
Using a very-similar text-only template from Motion 3 (created before the upgrade) resulted in a negligible increase in render time. So I opened the .motn file in the upgraded Motion 4, exported as a new template... and the render-time jumped back to 12 minutes. Same text, same transition, but the Motion 4 created template significantly increased render-time in FCP.
Is anyone else seeing this? And is there a solution/fix/workaround?

I want to use some Motion-designed templates for some specific text transitions (nothing too crazy, but which is much more simple to use in a template, for a regally occurring webisode project) in a lower-third.
A 20 second clip with a "Text-A template" saved from Motion 3, takes less than one minute to render in FCP.
The same clip, with the same "Text-A template" saved from Motion 4, takes nearly six minutes to render in FCP... with the same render settings.
It appears to be only related to templates that contain text... I've not noticed any new slowness with templates that contain drop-zones for photos or video.

Pixles/artifacts showing up after render?

Ok. so working on final cut 7. Cannon 5d footage, hootage is in H.264 (usaly edit in pro rez, but its happening with both formats)
Using magic bullet looks to get the grain and tilt shift look, looks good before i render, but as soon as i do render...well its looks like the image below. Any ideas?

Bullets and Numbering "Text After" attribute

Hi Everyone,
I need to grab "Text After" attribute of and existing bullet list in InDesign document and change it to my text. I think, I need to get access to "kBNBulletTextAfterBoss", but I don't know which boss agregates it.
Thanks

I've found it a much better practice, especially in heavily numbered documents, to look for a paragraph style that can be set to start at zero. I usually apply it to any headings or subheadings where the numbering below remains consistent. But that's just my experience.
You can also right click and restrat or continue numbering.

How to add text after number in the same cell? "200 units", "3Kg", "17 sqm"

Dear Sirs,
I have problem with adding text after a number in the same cell.
For instance, in excel I am able to do this:
200 units -----> this is on the same cell. Any number I type, "units" will follow automatically.
I know that we can just type "200 units" but its in text format so it cannot be calculated supposedly I want to multiply it by others number.
I know that we can do this by splitting into two cells, one on the left for the number "200" and another one on the right for the text "units".
It would be helpfull if we could do this function such as "20 years", "3Kg" etc.
Sorry to trouble you all.
Thank you
Q

This is a case of uneven implementation in Numbers. This sort of functionality is available to format numbers used to label axis ticks on various charts, but not to format numbers in a cell. This feature should be requested.
As an aside, perhaps a spreadsheet that actually managed numeric units as part of the calculation would be powerful and useful in avoiding formula bugs, something like is available in Google calculations. If you are unfamiliar with this, try one of the following examples typed into any Google search entry field:
150 miles per gallon in liters per 100 kilometers
100 * 20 yards / 40 minutes in mph

File size extremely high for .avi after render PE 9

I'm very new to PE and have tried to learn quick to redact info (faces etc) in .avi files for a government agency. I was able to open the file (in the trial version) and make the track matte by dragging the original file to the timeline then dragging it again to the video 2 timeline for the top layer, Question 1) is this the same as copy and paste or am I doubling the size already? Anyway, I was able to get the matte and everything done. Now, to Render and save... I choose computer/avi again (I need to keep it the same) and it took 1 hr 45 min to render it, that seemed long to me but maybe not... but mainly the file size was then 100,883 kb! Starting with a 29.7 kb file. This is what my question is about....could this be right? I can't use it if this is what I get. So, here are the particulars as I got G-spot and looked it up, as per serveral suggestions I saw here. I'm trying to understand the CODEC info but I fear I have a ways to go before I can figure out what I did wrong. (This is my test computer, the future work would be done on a newer, better computer). The videos I would be working with come from various sources and will vary in length but will probably all be a kind of avi.
Intel Pentium processor 1600 mhz
221 mhz, 2.00 gb ram
Microsoft windows xp sp3
video:
length: 0:27.261
frms: 817
Kbps: 28770
pic: 720x480
codec: dvsd dvc/dy
I appreciate any help you can give

Thanks for you response and the information was very helpful. I was able to choose and output that gave me a good file size and I do want DV-AVI (I don't remember what I chose but it worked) but, I don't see an option for DV-AVI - is that a general DV output selection, because there seem to be numerous (AVCHD, NTSC, DV STANDARD) acronyms (I have tried to understand what each is) which do I want?

For the use of Track Matte Keying, with say a Gaussian Blur, or maybe Moasic Effect, if you have not altered the In & Out Points, then just dragging the Asset to both Video 1 and Video 2 will work fine. If you HAVE adjusted the In & Out Points, you can just click-drag from the Source Monitor, where you set those In & Out Points, and all is good. The Copy/Paste is just another way to do it.
As you are doing an "overlay," the output File Size will not be affected in any way. You are also limiting the Blur, or Effect on Video 2 to just the area "exposed" by the Track Matte, so the pixel count will not be altered.
As Steve points out, the output CODEC in the AVI will determine the output File Size. File Size is basically determined by the Timeline's Duration and by the Bit-Rate of the output file. With DV-AVI, that Bit-Rate is pretty well set, and your Timeline determines the Duration. At ~ 13GB/hour, a DV-AVI will be pretty large, but that is the nature of the beast. Also, and as Steve points out, if you are going to do additional editing, and will be Importing that file into a New Project, DV-AVI is about as good, as it gets.
Good luck,
Hunt

I am experiencing delayed typing with texting after upgrading to IOS 7 - anyone seeing this?

Both my wife and I are experiencing delayed "typing" with texting after the upgrade to IOS7. Concisely, you can keep typing, but there is a noticable delay before the text appears in the message section. I have also noticed delays with entering my 4 digit Passcode.

Mine was so bad that it was nearly impossible to type in my passcode. I finally restored the phone (reinstalled the software) and then restored from backup. All is working fine now. This is on my iPhone4. The real trick was getting past the passcode and then turning off Find my iPhone (which is required to restore) when it was nearly impossible to type my password in.
It solved my problem. After I did it I read somewhere here to try resetting all settings. That would be quicker but you may lose some settings you had. In any case restoring completely solved my problem.
My iPad did not experience any of these problems.

Error with PS text after Unicode conversion

Hi, we are having problem after doing unicode conversion with special
character not displayed correctly in a Web interface. In SAP
(transaction CN04) everything is OK, but if the PS text is displayed
through a Web interface (BSP for instance) some characters are
displayed wrong. One of these characters is the apostrophe in French
language ('). Is there an available tool to perform a conversion of
existing PS text after performing unicode upgrade ?

Greenish tinge, added after render..

I have a problem with a greenish color shift that takes place after render in color 1.0.1
my material was actuall digitized on a G5 with blackmagic decklink,
then media manag'ed' to apple uncompressed 8 bit 422 on an external drive
then copied to my mac pro, where I have an 8core 3.0, 4Gb, ATI X1900. and AJA Kona LHe with latest drivers...
what is going on?
why is the image different before and after render?
I work in PAL, and the material imported into color was Apple Uncompressed 422 8bit codec... and rendered out as the same 422 8bit uncompressed...
unfortunately I do not have a digibeta deck to capture material directly so I have to rely on capturing at another facility...
regards to all,
Elias.

Many many years ago I faced this problem when translating RGB/YUV back and forth in 8-bit files.
Try to use 10-bit files instead and make shure to render in color (internal pixel) using 10-bit at least.
Hope it helps.

Images that zoom and move jitter after render.

I have a bunch of pictures that I put to music. Some move across the screen or zoom slowly. The images move smoothly until I render them, then it's like the images are on some bumpy path or something. They jitter or bump as they move.
I have de-interlaced the images, have changed the image formats, added max flicker filter, ensured that my render settings were at 100%, have redone the motion, have doubled the resolution of the image file (just in case the pixels were conflicting or having trouble at that resolution), and have adjusted settings in the individual item's properties.
My project was supposed to be delivered to the customer yesterday, but there's no way I'm going to deliver a jittery video. The problem is also equally noticeable on the DVD I produced . I have never had this problem in the past. Like I say, when the render bar is green, everything is smooth. After render, bumpy motion. All the motion (for the most part) is perfectly horizontal or vertical.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Message was edited by: Joey Delli Gatti

I had the exact same problem and was able to overcome it using a hack... this seems to be a bug in FCE.
I fixed it by rotating all my original images 90 degrees, replacing them in the timeline, rotating them back, then applying the zoom effects. They look perfect now. (Strange but true.)
Anyone with a better solution to this issue?

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.
