Stencil Alpha revert after render??

I'm a bit neww to FCP so don't know if I'm doing anything wrong here, but as a Photoshop user I can't really think of another way to do this..
So I have a white solid background, then a clip in the background, and a white circle layered on top of it.
I set the circle to Blend mode: Stencil Alpha, and I get white background and the clip visible were the white circle was before.
BUT after FCP auto-renders my project the effect revert and suddenly I have a black background instead of a white.
Any ideas to why this is happening? Again, it looks right before rendering and wrong after..

If I understand you correctly you have a white solid generator on the storyline. You have an attached clip above it and an attached white circle shape above that. Select the top rwo clips ie the white cirle and your video clip and make them a compound clip. You should then have your white background back. FCPX composites from top down so the stencil blended circle is compposited with the video and that result composites with the white background which causes what you see. Hope this works for you.

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

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.

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.

I am having issues and permanent encounter in having my removed login items reappearing after reboot. I have very MANY of the same programs in 'open at Login accounts' eg: Messenger,Safari,Skype,Evernote,Dropbox,antivirus, but they are listed dozens of times. in this 'open at login' area.
Here's the steps I have taken:
1) Open Applications, Account Preferences, cluck my administrator acc, select program to delete, click on - and wait.
2) Remove some login items (with or without unlocking the lock, doesn't seem make a difference, tried both)
3) Login items are now fewer
4) Reboot
5) voila, the removed login items are still loaded and displayed in login item tab.

Stencil Alpha Blend mode question

Hello guys,
I would like to achieve this: video clip embeded on BLOCKS LEFT DOWN REPLICATOR with another video as a background. So I first apply Replicator, than place the "embeded" video clip into the layer below it. Then I select Replicator to make it active, go to it's properties in Inspector and apply Blend Mode-Stencil Alpha. Up to this point everything works fine. Video plays embeded beautifully on blocks as I want. So I place my background video into another layer below. Here is where the problem starts. My background can't be seen, because it's covered by black areas between blocks. Could you please tell me what I do wrong? How can I make that black area between blocks transparent so anything behind the blocks could be seen?
Thank you so much for any tip or advise,
Cheers,
K.

Don't use Stencil.
Click on your foreground video. Type ⌘-Shift-M to add a mask layer. Drag your blocks replicator into the mask well.

Patrick

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.)

Video Scope reading changes after render

I'm having problems with my wave form monitor changing after I've rendered video. I applied a proc amp filter to a video clip and made the adjustments that I wanted according to the levels on the wave form monitor. After I render the clip, I notice the levels revert back to the old readings on the wave form monitor, but the actual numerical values set in the proc amp filter seem to remain the same. Also, as far as I can tell the actual video is not effected and still has the proc amp settings applied to it. Any idea what may be causing this?

Try changing your render setting. Go to the Video Processing tab in the Sequence Settings and change it from Render in 8-bit YUV to Render all YUV material in high-precision YUV. I had what sounds like a similar problem where I color corrected a clip with the 3-way, but after I rendered the black level jumped back up about 5 points. Switching to the high-precision settings fixed it. That might work for you.
Hope that helps.

Text color changes after render while using timecode generator/VF tool

Hi,
I'm having a problem with the timecode generator/viewfinder tool. When I have both a Gaussian Blur (set on something other than Alpha + RGB) and a VF or Timecode generator effect in the filters, it seems to create a bug where the color I want for the viewfinder (REC) text shows up correctly pre-render, but changes to an arbitrary color after the render. For example, when I set the color to red, it becomes cyan after rendering. Anyone else experienced this problem or have a solution? Thanks.

Poor Quality After Render

Hello. I have been having some problems with Premiere Pro CC after the 7.2 update.
A new one has arisen when i render a video. Normally the quality would improve and i can see it in the preview window. But now after i render a video the quality is so bad and there are sort of screen tears in the video. I know its not my graphics card so can someone help me please i just keep having issues.
Thanks

they do .. a lot... thanks ..
dont forget I dont have your version .. I have cs6 on pc.
dv codec is SD ( ntsc 720x480 .. pal is something else ) and is 30 fps ( 2997).. you got source hd 60fps and your preview settings dont match stuff. .. so the first thing you wanna do is MAKE SURE of your source material ( what it is exactly .. video and audio )... then you make a sequence that matches those settings exactly... ( you probably know that already ).
Now, when rendering for preview you wanna be as UNobtrusive as possible to the orignal source material ( so you see it rendered without compromising the actual source material by changing frame rate or dimensions in px size )..... I would not use avi dv codec for HD material source.
Assuming your source material is what your sequence settings ARE ( they match ).. then I would not use AVI DV codec ( which is SD not HD ) for that. Now I gotta turn on pig computer to see what options might be better for you ..and that will depend in part on how powerful your computer is.. if it can handle certain stuff.. Jim and those guys here probably have their editing on same computer as their internet and can help you really fast... but he was right in the beginning ( I have no clue how he knew this.. ).. when Jim said it was mismatch with DV .. thanks for posting those images cause now I can actually see pretty well what you have going on.

Trouble with video quality AFTER render

why is it that AFTER i render out what is on my timeline (command - r) does my canvas view look all rough and not nearly as smooth as before i rendered it out?
the situation: i am rendering out comps from after effects 6.5 pro. the quicktimes look beautiful when i play them in qt and they look fine when i import them into FCP 5.0.4 in the viewer window. then i render it out (command - r) and what shows up is a rough, very unsmooth version. my first thought was that if i exported it as an animation at millions of colors+, it would look fine, but no luck.
my view in my canvas and viewer windows is set to 100%.
anyone?
thank you!

Go to "Sequence"-"Settings" check the Frame Rate and Resolution settings.

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
