Also, just for clarification, for my keframes to not stop, but to have a smooth transition from one to the next, I need to use smooth and change the setting to 0.
OK, I may be very very wrong here, but looking very very closely at the TM Diamond on T3, there "appears" to be a wee bit of a shadow. This always indicates to me that there is a pesky, lurking K/F creating mischief . .can you see it? It maybe nothing .. but then again it may be setting the whole "off-alignment" you speak of? Yes?
Zero setting has been covered recently. JM - may not be him . . . -produced a neat script for smashing this! ! ! Does it work at TRACK level? Discuss?
Grazie,
I see what you are saying about the render being smaller than the project settings. I am not in front of my editor and won't be until tonight to check. But I would bet that is right. I am pretty sure that I rendered out to avi dv 720x480 or something similar. Again, I am not in front of my editor. I will render out some 5 second tests tonight and see what I get.
I have had documented problems where things would move, no keyframes involved.
What happens was the rendered output was to a different ratio than standard, and the scaling on graphics caused them to move somehow. I was using one of the default WMV formats. It was very annoying.
My work around was to render out the "layers of video" to a new track first. Then render to WMV so the rescaling would not take place.
Grazie, you were right. It was dealing with the aspect ratio... I think. The project is set to widescreen DV NTSC. I changed the aspect ratio of the event to widescreen dv NTSC at 29.97, but it distorts the event in the preview window. When i do a prerender it distorts it and makes it shorter but taller- exactly the opposite of the way it looks on the timeline/ preview window when it is not prerendered. I am prerendering to widescreen DV NTSC. I also tried other settings, but they do not give me the widescreen look I am after.
I am sure I have done something dumb such as render something to the wrong format or changed a setting that I shouldn't have. Any Ideas?
But, if I change the project to DV NTSC (not widescreen) and the event to the same, it looks how I want it on the timeline and the preview window and prerenders correctly... although, the footage is/was widescreen (unless I did something wrong). I am trying to expand my knowledge past my normal workflow and this seems so basic but I keep messing it up.
Hmmm .. . So the question we need to ask is, just what IS the difference between 16:9 and 16:9 Widesctreen? AND, more specifically, the very importance of it when it comes to Rendering?
My thoughts are that 16:9 [WIDESCREEN] is for widescreen LCDs . . but I must be completely wrong!!
