Strobing Lines?

New Topic Respond to this Topic

Hi guys. I have just finished a long time ongoing project. The past two days have been a mess with me fixing problems and sorting out the conform.

The problem I have is when exporting from Premiere Pro all of my pencil lines seem to become ... weird and warped I will hopefully link in some pictures.

Any way to solve the problems without going back through and changing the lines strokes of everything frame by frame?

Thanks

PS EXTRA INFORMATION
Animating in Flash and conforming in Premiere. The pencil has a 3 pixel stroke (I think :S) and as you can se the blue brush to the from of the island doesn't have the same problem.

There's a number of things that could be causing that. What video format are you rendering it out to? You mentioned the pencil tool so I'm assuming you drew that straight into Flash, you didn't import those drawings from another program?

Yea its drawn directly in flash and exported either as a still or a mov and sometimes a Jpeg-Sequence. It is then imported in premiere and looks stroby.

Side note - It is to do with the export settings from flash. The Export looks stiped when viewing the images.

Actually it must be to do with the premiere pro settings. It isn't half as bad on the raw footage.

Export the file from Flash as a .swf first, then import it into Premiere or AfterEffects.

If there are sounds, import the sound files into Premiere as well.

Then export it out as an .mp4.

Though if you somehow still have QuickTime installed, then export as a .mov

Its 1920x1080 on both. Its confusing me, its as if I have an interlaced project somewhere down the line. (I edit video so should know this hah)

Im not confident with the SWF workflow. I really should read up on it.

I fixed the problem It was the premiere pro project settings. I started a new project and pasted the timeline to it. Sorted, Thanks for your help Celshadad!!

Spoke to soon... It is now causing problems in the premiere export. what is the best way to conform flash files into premiere. At the moment I have a green background on my Jpeg Sequence, and I am currently keying out in premiere because I have to move the images across backgrounds and other elements.

I just want this Movie to be smooth as butter.

I just export the movie as an swf and then convert it to either Quicktime Animation or H.264 using swivel.

I stopped doing image sequences all together after I go my hands on swivel.

Uhh.... Your lines are just too small for 1080p. Lines that thin won't show up unless you view the video in full res, or it'll stripe like that.

Thicken your lines up.

This has saved me! Why haven't I used the SWF workflow before!?!
