Sagerauru 1 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Shut the **** up. I have been supporting you guys this entire time. I think I've even made a post like yours. But the Haus of Gaga is not made up of complete video editing professionals, and I doubt whoever posted this was. Because this picture was stuck in the video for a single frame, it's very, very easy to miss. If this movie was indeed edited in Final Cut Pro, then the chances of that photo being accidentally placed in the video as a "ghost frame," which is a common occurrence in FCP, are a lot higher. The photo didn't have to be a part of the video to be accidentally placed in it. It happens a lot. Also, FCP could have inverted the photo itself. But for some reason, this photo was on the computer of the person who was editing the video, which is the curious part. Whether it was an accident or not, this photo still had to have come from somewhere, and really, that's the mystery here - what/where is this photo from? So you mean to say that FCP can and will randomly grab any photo on a computer, invert said photo, remove all detail from said photo, and then place said photo in a random position in the timeline? If I'm misconstruing your words, please let me know, but that is what it sounds like you're saying. I know FCP X had quite a few hiccups when it was first released but I can't imagine that Apple would let such a bug slip through to this point.

Mama Ru 994 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 This photo isn't just inverted it's had all of the detail taken out of it so we can't bring anything out of it. I also highly doubt being as hardworking and professional as she is she is going to have someone who doesn't know what they are doing edit a video for her. I'm sure the Haus isn't full of video editing professionals but I'm sure part of the team makes up some of that area. They better be good at what they are doing too, it's their job. Also if they had slipped it in by mistake, why hasn't it been taken down and re-uploaded? Perhaps because it was indeed put there on purpose to begin with... (I tend to agree actually that it was probably put there on purpose, but I can understand why people are skeptical. Mistakes do happen.) Im blonde, I'm skinny, I'm rich, and I'm a little bit of a bitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know FCP X had quite a few hiccups when it was first released but I can't imagine that Apple would let such a bug slip through to this point. I'm not saying it will invert or remove detail from a photo, that could have been done manually by a Haus member (for an unknown reason), but I am saying that FCP will randomly place a photo in the middle of a video clip during the rendering process. People call them "ghost frames." And I didn't read up enough as to why this happens. But I do know that it happened to me today while editing a video in FCP. However, the photo that FCP placed randomly into one of my video clips was a photo I used later on in the video - however, I read that that doesn't always have to be the case, and that often times FCP will grab a photo that is used in another project. So this error is more than possible, considering it's occurred many times before - it occurring to Gaga and/or her team is not even really coincidental. It is possible that FCP distorted the image, as is a glitch that also occurs during the rendering process to photos and video, but since it does seem that entire details from the middle of the photo, as well as from the driver in the photo, have been removed, all while it is inverted, it's also possible that it wasn't a glitch and done entirely on purpose. Either way, the fact that the photo even exists is enough to pique my curiosity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RougeLippystick 0 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 So which is it? Can FCP invert things by itself or not? Because that is what you just said... The photo didn't have to be a part of the video to be accidentally placed in it. It happens a lot. Also, FCP could have inverted the photo itself.

So, we're either having a glimpse of an unknown video / photograph that ended up there by accident or was put there on purpose to create hype. Both ways look exciting!

It probably could invert it, but more likely it would just distort it or make it glitchy in some way. So, we're either having a glimpse of an unknown video / photograph that ended up there by accident or was put there on purpose to create hype. Both ways look exciting! Basically! I just want to know what this damn photo is lol, and who is in it, and what it's from. I just hope some AP news is on the way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, the fact that the photo even exists is enough to pique my curiosity. From the quick searching I did on ghost frames, it sounds as if they are created by the rendering cache which would lead me to believe that someone placed the photo into a timeline at some point. Not necessarily the timeline for this video but any FCP project timeline. Otherwise, how would it end up in the rendering cache? Even if we were to assume that the frame was caused by another project in the rendering cache, that still doesn't explain why the video was uploaded as-is and wasn't ever replaced with a version of the video without the frame. It seems as if the fix for the ghost frames can be as simple as clearing the rendering cache and re-rendering previews so I can't imagine that Gaga's crew couldn't figure out how to do that if they really didn't want the frame there.

Anthagio 113 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Yes, mistakes do happen, but this wasn't a mistake. A mistake would be a blank frame popping up or the video freezing. This is a timelapse video that focuses on one thing the entire time. No skipping to different scenes or angles, just one focus. The image that popped up had nothing to do with the video and was purposely altered so you couldn't see what it was. And it was most likely made in iMovie like every other video Gaga has posted on her page. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
