FCP 6 stills shake when zoom/pan

Your post of March 28th. was one of the first attempts of trying to stop the flicker, if I remember correctly it appeared like I was tracking a still image that was taken on too slow a shutter speed,with camera movement.



I agree with the external monitor, but have to work within my limitations.



My first attempt to sort this problem was the image stabilizer, by the time I got here, I had already tried most suggestions, not only from this site. As your post was a combination, I thought their might be other suggestions.



I should add that I usually try the same method three times, incase I miss something, your method I only tried twice. I will make one last attempt at it.



I have now re-cut the sequence to exclude most of the stills. I will try the ones that have to stay, and if it doesn't work then I will print out the image A2 or A1 and track it with the camera.



Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Hi, after a very hard work I found the way that still images do not flicker nor sparkle in Final Cut.
1.Open the image in Photoshop.
2.Image>Pixel Aspect Ratio>D1/DV NTSC (0.9)
3.Filter>Video>De-Interlace
4.Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur>Radius 1 pixel
5.Window>Actions>(scroll down to)>Video Actions>"Interlace Flicker Removal" and "Broadcast Safe"
6.Save the image, it will generate a psd file.
7.Use tha file in Final Cut without adding any Final Cut filter like deinterlace, blur and nothing to remove the flickering because it will no flicker !
8.In Final Cut, File>Export>Quick Time Movie>Settings DV NTSC 48 kHz or DV PAL 48 kHz

I hope this will help you, Diego
