Pixels in Space-Effect works strange

Post by baustellen »

Hey folks!
Ive got a problem with the "pixels in space effect". i want 6 fields which each show the clip in the same way.
the problem is, the pixels having a different brightness and are flickering.
ive recorded a small clip to show you what i mean

the 6fields are good, but there not equal...
heres a screenshot of my setting. ive got only a random clip and the effect.
maybe i am dreaming, but some time ago i had exactly what i wanted with that effect, but its not working out for me anymore.
please help me :(

Thanks for the screenshot and the video! It really helped to recreate your setup.

The thing with the Pixels in Space effect is is it uses the brightness of the pixels to display and/or extrude them. So if the pixels of the original video are black, the Pixels in Space effect won't display anything in that area. This is causing your 6 'screens' to flicker.

If you want an effect like this without flickering, maybe try the Videowall effect?

Hope that answers your question!

Thanks for the fast and good answer! The videowalleffect solved my problem perfectly.
But the pixels-in-space-effect is still working differently in different times, sometimes the pixel flicker, somethimes not.
