I've noticed that in some videos I've made as well - the background
appears to change the way the title fades in. This is still
different. In the sample file
(http://www.f-forge.com/?d=EdD1UKgj9LQsCupcxJwR), the flicker is
quite obvious - it's not coming from a contrast with the background.
Rather, the title slowly and smoothly fades out until the final frame
of fading out, at which point that single last frame shows the title
at full visibility.
I can observe this flicker in cinelerra's compositor during playback
and during frame-by-frame advancement.
I haven't been following this thread closely, but it does sound like
something I experienced and resolved. The problem was that I was
using fading keyframes and setting them by hand instead of using the
slider. That is to say, I'd press the mouse when the cursor was over
the part of the timeline I wanted to fade then drag it downward until
my compositor window faded out. Because of Cinelerra 2's quirky
feature, for some of the last frames it would actually go past fading
out and back into visible again. The resolution for this was to use
the slider instead of dragging on the timeline.
I was under the impression that the video fader was broken in Cinelerra
2, glad to hear it's working! In trying just now, I've noticed that what
I'll call the 'asset fader range' (or the limits for the minimum and
maximum of the fade line) are a bit inconvenient. Audio generally fades
in decibels below zero and video fades in integers between 0 and 100.
Setting the limits to -40, 10 helps for fading audio, but doesn't help
with video (which benefits from a 0-100 scale). What do Cinelerra users
use for their limits to keep sensitivity?
Sorry for the OT wander. . . Unfortunately, my problem isn't a video
track fader flicker, but the Title effect in Video Effects.
