Don't know why its jumpy but the way you went about it is a bit unusual.

You can just drop the still on the timeline and stretch it to whatever length you want, by default its 10 seconds but you can I thik even change that in the preferences. Best bet for VV is to bring stills in as .png files, anything else will work as well but it handles png best as its a native format.

I got the same problem, but only when I render the file as SVCD,but not jumpiness when create as DVD NTSC,doesn't matter I choose lower or upper field first. I dropped still pictures onto timeline then rendered it. Please help

I think sk8boardaddict is probably talking about using frames from a video as stills, rather than importing still image files.

If you set your velocity to "0," then Vegas might be confused about just where in the timeline you want it to freeze, and it might pick the time when it's going from FrameA to FrameB (at least that's how I've rationalized it when seeing a similar effect).

It might be better to get a still effect by simply picking out a frame in the timeline and saving it as a still image. If even a still frame obtained this way shows a lot of "flicker," then you can either pick just a field or blur the frame slightly.

Try using the "reduce interlace flicker" switch.
