Hi,
Editing a :30 spot that was looking good on v6.1. Have one shot with the SmoothCam filter. Client loves it, output the spot, done. Upgrade to FCS2009. Client wants to make a change to the spot. Load the spot up, the clip with SmoothCam has terrible judder (for lack of a better term). Try everything, can't fix it.
Weird thing is that before it's rendered - when I watch the clip with the green render bar above it... looks smooth as silk. Once I render, the judder comes in.
Judder doesn't appear on the computer monitor, only on the external monitor (via Kona3). However, the external monitor is an LCD.
Doesn't look like switched fields, but have had a lot of trouble with that in the past, so lay a field shifter on the clip - no dice, doesn't fix it. Try +1 and -1. Have an engineer in here who asks if I've tried de-interlacing - lay the de-interlacer on the clip, and shazzam, judder is gone.
1) I hate problems which I do not understand, and I do not understand this.
2) I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I don't particularly want this clip de-interlaced, everything else in the spot is 60i.
Any help is welcome.
