Match Frame Video Files


DavidPatrick

Recommended Posts

I have several video files in a show which have match frames - i.e. the ending frame of video one is the same as the starting frame of video two. When I butt the two videos together (either on the same layer or on different layers) I get drop outs. Meaning Watchout shows a quick flash to whatever is below when it rolls past the break in the clips. To solve this, I have to overlap them between .1 and .2 seconds. Sometimes this is an acceptable workaround, but sometimes it doesn't due to the animations.

Is this expected behavior? Is there anything I can do to eliminate these flashes consistently without overlapping? Is there anything which would impact this which I can avoid or change (framerate, codec, etc)? All content is currently at 24fps, running the system at 30Hz. All files are chunked HAP. Fast HDDs and solid video cards. 

I can't say for sure, but I recollect I have done this before in previous version of Watchout and not had these issues. Currently using 6.2.2.

Curious, do you recall if those videos were also 24 fps?

I ask because 24fps requires WATCHOUT to generate artificial frames to fill out the frame rate set in WATCHOUT preferences. Wondering if the additional processing has an impact, resulting in less than clean startup of the video.
