Final Cut Pro X playback looks distorted after hack? Solved
  • remoteworksremoteworks
    Hi,

    I'm having some issues after testing different setting's on 1080p/720p with the GH2 Cam.
    In Vlc it looks ok, but when imported in Final cut pro x, the image is distorted/blurry it's worse with 720p.
    Tried to load the default firmware, but no difference.
    If i import some footage from a none hacked GH2 from a friend it looks ok!

    Do other people use Final Cut and have the same result after they hacked/changed the firmware?

    Regards

    A lot of the hacks have high bitrate clips that are beyond the current limits that some NLEs can cope with. Its best to try and transcode these first into something like ProresHQ. Depending on what setting you may have to use pulldown and inverse telecine.

    At least Premier and Edius looks good.
    Good luck

    what if you have FCPX set to optimise the media, does this fix your problem?

    Thnx but it does not help
    See attached image and look at the white window linings.
    going to see how it looks on Premiere

    So what settings did you have when it looked wrong? Proxy media? Good to hear it works fine with hacked footage though!

    The option "use original or optimized media" > auto set to "better performance".
