Audio Video timing/ transitions (First Project)

ArcticMan wrote on 2/7/2003, 11:01 AM
It seems like when I zoom in or out on a section the A/V timing changes. Also sometimes the transitions don't show properly on the preview. I'm making a slideshow using .6 to 2MB JPG's. It doesn’t seem to be a correlation between picture size and when it does this. When I run the video my cpu usage only maxs out at 60%, there is also available memory as well. I'm running a AMD 2700+/333, 512MB PC3200 RAM, GeForce ti4200. I only have a 40gig hard drive but it's half full and I've been defragging nightly. Are there any setting I might be able to change to help this?

I also have two pictures that wont show a transition with each other on the preview just skips it. Each picture independently can be transition with any other picture just not between the two of them. I took one of them into PhotoShop and recompressed renamed and still the two of them won’t transition?

I rendered a clip into an mpeg2. I then ran it on windows media player and noticed some of the transitions skipping/ jerking as well. Is this also typical? Does it mean I have a bad render or will this burn to DVD all right? I don't have a DVD burner yet so I can't view this any other way besides on the computer. I used elecards viewer as well with the same results.

Well, skipping and jerking aren't typical, though I've no idea what's causing them. Is there any consistency with the types of transitions that do or don't give problems? Could you try rendering a couple of the faulty transitions as .avis and see what the results are like? (You can select a part of the timeline and just render that). I'm grasping at straws here, but I wonder if the problem's associated with lots of movement?

If 2 different viewers are giving the same results I'd suspect the render's bad - burning to cd / DVD wont improve things.
