mov exporting issue 2012-04-29 06:57:33 Reply

My last project is done by exporting the scenes in quicktime and editing them with premiere (i think that flash couldn't handle such a file on my older computer). It's all done, but i noticed that some characters are a little bit "flickering" when walking (attached pic). So i tried to re-export the scenes from flash (now I am on a macbook). The flickering issue is better but, i don't know why they live a kind of trail behind them. look: http://youtu.be/Li2od5XB30I . Do you know why?

thanks

Yeah, flash is weird when it comes to quicktime format. You kinda just gotta fuck around with it.

The following has been known to fix the problem:
-(If you're using 24fps) Export at 12fps, and see if the blur is gone. Obviously, you don't want your movie to run at half speed though, so you'll need to use another program to speed it up. Watch out for audio sync problems though.
-Export an image sequence, then using QuickTime Pro (Or Mac OSX's Quicktime), you can import an image sequence to compile it into a .mov

It's a lot of hassle though, I'd recommend using a .flv instead.

You could also try freeing up as much system resources as possible when exporting. Or attempt an export on a higher processor machine.

thanks!
never thought about the 12 fps thing, it seems a good idea, I'll give it a try.
even if the problem now seems more the one depicted in the youtube video, but who knows it could be the solution to it to.
a png sequence won't work, with the vcam and the movieclips.
as for the flvs i wouldn't know how to import them on premiere or final cut

Strangely, the 12 fps thing works, but when i speed it up 200% on premiere it does again that flckering thing.
What do I do?

just to let you know. i finally got it: I had to export the mov in 1 fps. then convert the mov into a png sequence (setting 1 fps there aswell) and then i just converted the png sequence in a new mov at 24 with no flickering whatsoever.
i little long but it works.
