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.

[CinCVS] [Bug 277] 2vuy doesn't work correctly (choppiness in both playback and rendered file)
http://bugs.cinelerra.org/show_bug.cgi?id=277 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-07-03 22:34 --- What it looks like is the 2vuy files generated by the proprietary Quicktime stuff have multiple frames per chunk, but the libquicktime used by Cinelerra only decodes the first frame from each chunk. It appears to be a bug in quicktime/trak.c in function quicktime_sample_range_size, where it is incorrectly returning zero instead of calculating the distance to the requested frame inside the chunk. I'm attaching a patch for trak.c to the bug entry - see if this solves the problem for you. --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra

I've noticed something similar in the past... in my case it was due to extra keyframes along the plugin. Have you enabled "View -> Plugin Keyframes" to check? Hi Alec, thanks for the suggestion. I've been burned by that before, especially with camera motion. Unfortunately, that is not what's happening this time. I turned on the Plugin Keyframes and nothing changed in the view. My project is a simple slideshow with photographs and music. There are crossfade video effects and titles. Only a few titles flicker, and it's quite confusing!
