.psd shifts on fadePosted by Steven Forster
Gurus, I've got an issue that has been baffling me for some time. I have an animated layered .psd file in my timeline that ends the project. The graphic looks fine until the fade out begins at which point the graphic seems to drop back a little and becomes mush. This happens on the broadcast monitor as well as the canvas. I have dumped render files. Any ideas?

so you are rendering this?
if you arent rendering then what youlre seeing is expected maybe you think you are but aren't: if it's a green render line, you need to hit CONTORL R to render those. if it's orange, then maybe you don't have that set to render with Apple R "render selection" go to your Sequence Menu > Render Selection nad make sure the Orange "Unlimited" setting is ticked. if you cant be bothered dealing with a separate command (Control R) for for green, you might as well tick the Green "Preview" setting as well. or maybe you are rendering at a low res. check your sequence settings (Apple zero) > Render control nick
What Nick said, and also check your Timeline Playback Settings form the Patch Panel; popup menu. Set everything to FULL, not Dynamic, which will scale down quality as needed.
On my machine, every Playback Setting requires a different render. Changing from Video Out>No Frames to All Frames also requires a re-render. often depends upon processor strength and RAM. - Loren Today's FCP keytip: Fit Timeline Selection to Window with Shift-Option-Z !

Hi Nick,
Yea, I've rendered. Checked all of the render settings. Dumped every render file I could find and re-rendered again... I'm stumped...

so am i! so these are just a bunch of crazy solutions: - make a new sequnce and copy the contrents of this one into it, and render again. (or just copy the graphic into it and try again - try rendering the graphic in various sequences with other settings: ProRes, Uncompressed. (just to see what happens) - i WAS going to suggest rather than a fade out, that you put some SLUGT over the top of the graphic, and fade that in, or keyframe it's opacity, but in your latest graphic you now have an image under the graphic. so maybe try key-framing opacity on the graphic, and see if that makes a difference. i've not idea why it SHOULD make a difference, but i'm clutching at straws here. - quit fcp, trash your preference files, open the project and re-render the graphic. nick
well........ not a clue..... I've tried it all....
So to finish the project I ended up exporting the movie without the end fade... opening that in a new sequence and creating the fade there... I have to use this graphic on a number of upcoming projects so I will have to figure this one out. I'm going to go back and recreate the graphic and see what happens.

Fade with opacity instead of a transition.

Hi Nick,
I always use opacity fades when things don't look right with transitions. I've seen it before. Kevin Monahan Social Support Lead, DV Products Adobe Adobe After Effects Adobe Premiere Pro Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro Community Blog Follow Me on Twitter!
