I am experiencing a strange problem that I have never seen before. Maybe somebody is aware of it. I am creating a simple client logo that uses some compositing in video post. The compositing is as follows. 1. Backdrop.TGA (A dusk sky with stars) 2. [Keyframer] (Two search lights waving about) 3. Wall.TGA (A 32 bit image of a wall with the logo on it, with alpha queued so that the prior entries show through above the wall) 4. Black.TGA (A targa file that is all black and fades out over the first second so that the finished animation appears to fade-in.) My problem is this. The finished frames, sent directly to the PAR, strobes terribly. Thanks to the PAR, I can play back one field or the other (with the slow motion settings). The first field is brighter, while the second is darker. It is almost as if each field has different gamma, but that is only speculation. Thanks for any insight you can offer. — James — MAP —
