I encounter a few known issues (tools disappearing, UI all grey, keyframe hickups….)
In my last project, however, there’s something new – to me, anyways.
I needed a frame, a regular basic frame really, to overlay 6 clips for a few seconds.
This has taken up most of the day.
The frame was ok, not 9 – but 6 measured to fit 6 clips on the left side of 16:9.
It seemed to be no way I could fit/snap the 6 clips in place. Movement jumps out of
reference, and for a long time (don’t exactly know/remember how I got rid of it) there was
a distinct bright yellow line on the right side of the clip(s). Of course I checked if I had touched freeform or other tabs and buttons. In the end, I sort of hid that yellow line behind the frame,
and I settled for how the clips were displaying inside the frame.
Next; the were dotted lines alongside the frame edges and the clip(s). I am now working
switching between preview and Modify. Very confusing. What is this about?
I went back to my photo editor and changed pixel size for the frame, strokes and image size.
Any difference if the stroke is 3px? 5px? 7 px? My mind kinda told me that could be it, but PD didn’t.
Being an oldie with PD, I then produced the different made seconds- and yes,
they all came out OK. Problem is; while one is working in the working area, one gets something
odd, and one tries to correct it – which means extra work – while all along one could….shall we say “test-produce”….to find out what is going to be the result in the finish.
Next, having not finally decided what to do further with the framed clips, I went ahead and
put a green colorboard behind it in case I want to chroma key it out over something else.
Then, both in preview window and Produce window, there was a glitch down at the right,
giving me, I think, the message; this is not correct!
Again, I couldn’t get rid of it - so I produced (or should I say “test-produced”) the seconds.
And yes, yet again it came out right, no glitch in the produced file.
So, my observation in todays waork is that it is a discrepancy between: what I see – is not what I get.
Another observation, this has been there since first install; Un-checking hardware in preferences
“Produce” totally ignore, which means I have to double check in “Produce” for every move I make.
Also, when 30fps is chosen (and NTSC), UI ignores that- and no matter from where I bring a 30fps clip in, I’m told this is not 30fps, but 29.97. I’ve learned to utter “whatever”….
Now, someone will perhaps post that I am not doing this right, and I welcome correction.
If someone posts there is something wrong with my system….I think not. Everything works fine
on this new rig, and I have been pushing it quite hard lately, also PD.
I am on v 2109 as the new patch-not-good didn’t appeal to me, and I have no urgent, critical issues
like the ones the new patch is supposed to fix.
