Nattress effect is giving me "blur" during quick moves

I'm relatively new to film effects. I've been working with the natrress film effects, specifically G-film, and I'm getting a strange "blur" or "ghosting" during quick moves. Specifically a character is sitting in a chair and shifts forward to the left and then to the right and back and it looks "odd", giving that ghosting or blurring look I mentioned. I've read through the forums and also googled for the last few days and can't seem to figure out how to stop it.
The footage I'm editing was shot with a Canon XL-2 at 30p. I'd like to get it to 24p since Nattress is recommended as a really great prgoram to do this. Any help that can be provided would be very appreciated.
Thanks for your time

Film Effects is for the look of 24p while keeping your timeline as 29.97fps interlaced (60i). It's 24p is also only for interlaced material - not progressive material which you have.
I don't recommend you shoot 30p if the end goal is 24p as all conversions I've seen have not been what I'd call successful. 30p is a rather strange format in that it is neither the video standards of 60i or 60p, nor the film standard of 24p. It sits between them all and is relatively incompatible with both PAL framerates of 25p and 50i, and the Film rate of 24p.
For 30p footage the best thing you can do to it is leave it well alone - don't alter it's frame rate at all. You can try compressor, or optical flow solutions in Shake or After Effects, or Nuke or whatever, but I've not seen fully successful results.

  • Best Settings For Video With Quick Movements?

    The video project I'm working on contains a lot of quick movements. When I try exporting it into a Quicktime file, most of the video looks fine, but any of the quick motions have a strange choppiness to them that I've never seen before. The choppiness exists only in the isolated areas of the movement.
    What settings would you recommend? I have tried numerous. Or has something gone wrong with my Final Cut Express HD?

    Try the Deinterlace Filter on the dodgy bits. I can't promise it will work but it's worth trying.
    Effects>Video Filters>Video>De-interlace.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Turbomedic.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
        1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
        2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
        3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
        4.    Open iTunes.
        5.    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

    Thanks for tell me the step by step.
    Regards.

    Hi,
    Following are the general settings to take the printout of any materail document posted by MIGO:
    Go through these steps you can get the GRN Printout
    1. Maintain the Printer Name in SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Print Control->Gen Settings->Printer Setting
    Enter the local printer where you want to print your Goods posting document
    2. Ensure that in SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Print Control->Gen Settings->Item Print Indicator, 1 stands for Matl Doc print out
    3. In SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Print Control->Gen Settings->Print Version, maintain Print Version 2
    4. In SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Print Control->Maintain Print Indicator for Goods Receipt/GI/Transfer Posting Documents
    Here for Particular mvt type 101,201,121,311,541 etcu2026 Maintain the Print item as 1--Material document printout
    5. In SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Output Determination->Maintain Output Types, for the Output types WE01, WE02 and WE03, ensure the following--
    Select the particular Output type then goto Details
    a. Default Values: Dispatch Time is 3 or 4 as per reqmt. and Transmission medium is 1
    b. Print Parameter is 7
    6. In SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Output Determination->Printer Det->Printer Determination by Plant/Str Loc, Maintain the Output device for all your Plants
    7. Go to MN21, for Tr Type WE, Print Version 3, maintain Print Item as 1.
    Now the settings are ready for Printing Material doc
    8. While doing MIGO, ensure that in General Tab, you get "3 Collective Slip" beside the Print Indicator and you tick mark the field.
    9. Now depending on the setting in 5a, the Matl doc is printed. If it is 3, you have to print it using MB90. If it is 4, it is printed immediately.

  • How can I hide non visible layers during test movie ?

    Flash CS5
    I have a layer I am using for construction purposes, it shows though in test movie. If I go to publish settings and untick include hidden layers on the flash tab, when I test movie, my cars don’t appear along the guide lines at all and just pop into view as movie ends.

    Depending upon what country that you are in (films can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the film from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download films or if it re-downloads with the same problem then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com

  • Stuutering during cam movement

    Hello,
    I’m experiencing some problems with converting a movie
    (DV PAL 16:9 25fps) to a flash movie. The problem especially
    appears during camera movements like panning and tilting. During
    these movements the movie starts to stutter/jump as if the camera
    moves in a bumpy way.
    This also appears with faster movements on screen.
    I tried different compression settings but nothings seems to
    help completely. Even the bitrate calculator didn’t help.
    In the help files I found something about compression
    problems during movements with interlaced video formats. Therefore
    I tried different setups with deinterlacing, but this also
    didn’t help. Even a progressive source file didn’t seem
    to be a solution.
    Does anyone know a solution for my problem?
    Compression settings I used were from 400 kbps to 900 kbps
    with a resolution of 420x236 25fps and 30fps. Both codec’s.
    I hope someone has an answer for this problem.

    After testing, testing and testing it seems to be a
    hard/software problem witch only ocures at the office....
    Proccesor speed can't be the problem...

    My apple tv  keeps stopping during the movie, I have a good internet connection but cant understand why?

    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this atwww.speedtest.net.
    1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

  • Quick movements on DVD movie has tracers and looks terrible

    When I preview the movie before burning it everything looks fine. After I burn the DVD and view it, all quick movements look terrible... horizontal lines and tracers. Please help!
    Thanks,
    -Paul

    Previewing a movie is simply a "link" to the uncompressed movie you have made. iDVD will compress this to MPEG 2 for DVD playback. It seems many are not happy with iDVDs compression schemes... HOWEVER, quick movements are the bane of any MPEG compression with any software. Although some software will be better than others. Why is motion difficult? DV, NTSC, is 29.97 frames per second. Basically 30 still images/second. This equates to 13GB/hour. Keep in mind that a SL DVD holds roughly 4.3GB. For playback on tabletop DVD players your material must be compressed to the MPEG 2 format (which also always it to fit on a DVD). MPEG 2 takes one reference picture about every 15 frames and then only records the motion difference between frames. So you go from almost 30 frames/second down to two with motion difference. So anything that has a lot of motion is very difficult for any MPEG compression because of the nature of the compression. If these are quick pans & zooms, I would suggest a more controlled pan & zoom. If the camera isn't on a tripod, I would suggest using a tripod. You could also make a disc image prior to burning the DVD and the disc image will actually be the compressed version as opposed to just previewing the sequence in iDVD.

  • Flash crashed during watching movies in YT, sound doesn't always work.

    I have many the few problems with flash and sound in my Arch Linux.
    Firstly, when I want to play a movie in YouTube, flash often gets crashed. Movies stop loading, and they stop playing at the most often in 7th second or 12th second. Additionally, the sound falters itself. When I want to do something in web browser, it stops working. I must restart it, but flash still doesn't work. I noticed, after flash's crash, I cannot work for example in kdenlive. It gets crashed too. That problem often exists during watching movies in YT.
    Secondly, I don't always have sound in games. For example, I cannot hear anything in Wolfenstein Enemy Territory, but e.g. in SuperTuxKart I hear everything. I don't have any idea, why sound works in some apps and doesn't work in the other apps.
    I downgraded flash, because I thought, it could help, but unfortnately, it still has the problems. I use Firefox, but earlier I used Chromium and that problem was too.
    Edit: I have just noticed, when after flash's crashing I want to listen to music and then I want to stop it, it falters like sound in YT movies.

    Is wolfenstein a wine game? If so There are a bunch of optional dependencies for wine. You can see them if you do "pacman -Qi wine" (same for any installed program in Arch unless installed without pacman/PKGBUILD).  Some that I have installed are:
    lib32-alsa-lib
    lib32-libpulse
    If the game is a 32 bit windows game running through wine you may need some of these. If that doesn't work you can run it through the pulseaudio wrapper like this: "padsp wine /path/to/game.exe" Where /path/to/game.exe is the path to your wolfenstein executable. You can also check your sound settings with a program called "winecfg" (the defaults work fine for me though). To verify that your game is using pulseaudio there is a program called "pavucontrol" that will tell you all of the programs currently using sound through pulseaudio. Hope that helps.
    Edit: Also found this which may be of interest I don't know: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/et-sdl-sound/
