Flicker & distortion of photos

KHolle wrote on 5/30/2009, 8:09 AM
Still having problems - when keyframing a photo to move - parts of the photo will flicker - kids braces on teeth, trees parts of shirts. Tried the suggestions of Gausian Blur Adj Horiiz to 0 and adj veftical to0.001 to 0.003 - doesn't take care of problem - only eliminating keyframe, obviously fixes it - but it makes the photo boring!. Any suggestions about "reduce interface flicker" - that didn't work either. Please help

Where exactly did you apply the Gaussian Blur??

The exact way you do this can be critical. It has to be applied before any scaling.

Not sure I know what you mean by scaling - can you walk me thru it?

Am adjusting range - horiz 0.000 and vertical 0.0001 - seems to help but definately a lost of quality (sharpness) to the pic - Is this one of those "take your pick - which problem would you rather have?" I have a video project with over 1000 pics - kind of daunting to go change

also, do you notice a difference in rendering to WMV or AVI?

What version of Vegas are you using? What size are the photos?

I found that on version 8.0c, the photos had to be close to the resolution of the output format to eliminate the noise you describe. I resized them in Photoshop Elements. My originals from a Nikon D70 were 3008 pixels wide, I resized them to 800 wide.

However, in version 9 (32 bit) I don't need to do that.

We are in 9.0b.

Since there is not yet a 9b in Vegas Pro can we assume that you are using a Studio version?
