Have added another picture using Mocha within BCC. What size picture did you use? I just grabbed a pic (1600x1067 )

Yes, your picture you added looks fine. The image I used was 3060x4080 bit depth 24 and taken with my cell phone. I think you could see where my image jittered. I think I'm using the right description.

I just tried another still image which was 2160x3840 and it looked fine. Very strange...

. I think you could see where my image jittered. I think I'm using the right description.

@Roger Bansemer Watched it a dozen times, I see a picture that stays exactly in place because of a rock steady track, the image is pixelated/noisy. 🤷‍♂️

Can you describe what you mean by 'jitter' ?

@Roger Bansemer  I would first try reducing the image size in Photoshop or whatever to about the size it's going to be in the video. I've seen my high resolution images with a lot of detail when scaled way down in NLEs sparkle, jitter, make noise, look over-sharpened, or whatever you want to call it. I suppose you could also try a small amount of gaussian blur before pan/crop.

yes, the borders of the image is solid but the photo itself is jittery, pixalated or whatever you might describe it as which is unusable.
I've just never run across this before so it was a surprise. The solution is not to have an image with a resolution larger than what the video resolution is. This is strange because I shoot in 4k and the images don't jitter even though I have my properties set to 1080.

@Roger Bansemer Hmm, can you share the MediaInfo of the image you were using?

This image of sky that i replaced my name with is a jpg 12000x9000, no problems

4K png, again no prob

I'll use the term "glitter" instead of jitter as the image looks like it's made up of metalic glitter like you'd put on a birthday card. Hope that clears up the description. Please let me know if there is an actual term for this.

The image I used was 3060x4080. bit depth 24 on the far right insert.
I reduced the resolution on the middle image and it's still glittery.
I tried yet another image on the left side and still glitter.
This is baffling.

When you rendered it you used the render quality best setting (project properties)?

I used Voukoder which always works fine. That "glitter" appears in my preview as well even on full so I'm quite sure it has nothing to do with the rendering.

@Roger Bansemer I used Voukoder in the vids above, but I just tried again using default settings for Magix AVC (not Best), no prob, still can't create the twinkly effect 🤷‍♂️,

I redid the video because in the light of day I realised I was off the water level at the back of the boat, 😂,

Can you upload that original picture so we can have a play?

Here it is.

Here it is.

@Roger Bansemer Uploading a pic or video onto a forum is useless as it gets recoded in the upload/download, You need to upload to a file sharing site such as Google Drive that doesn't alter the file in any way..

Open Google, top right is a sq of dots - Open Google Drive.
Drag that video onto the Google Drive window, let it upload.
Right click on the file on screen - Share.
A window will pop up, General Access - choose anyone with the link - Copy link.
Then on here in a new comment at the top there's a chain button, paste the link on there

@Roger Bansemer I want to know the answer to this nearly as much as you but you need to share everything 👍

• Put a copy of the ship video & the photo on Google Drive,
• Check all your drivers are up to date,
• Share pics of your project settings & render settings,
• Pics of the full Vegas UI inc pics of any/all fxs.
• Where is the video & picture stored

Share everything even if you don't think it is important, the more info/pics the better.

If this is really what the original image looks like it has no detail and is way oversharpened (crop of a phone pic?) That may not downscale very nicely as the edges are too harsh.

But yes, share everything Gid asks for and hopefully we'll get closer to a resolution for this. Even sharing the project file would be good- we can swap out the image and see if that's the issue.

@RogerS Hi, there's something going on but I can't put my finger on it, that picture shared in the comment above isn't the best & when I first opened Mocha it seemed to glitter, not as much as the OPs but it did sparkle a little, zooming in though showed the image to be ok, & rendering from Vegas there was no prob either.

That picture isn't the orig so looks quite different to the OPs vid. & I'm using Mocha Pro so maybe there's something about the combination of Vegas Mocha or something to with how it inserts, I can't comment on that.

This is Mocha Pro & Vegas's timeline then the finished render is at the end.

The image there looks like it's playing back in preview/draft mode as if it's 90% interpolation and 10% image data. Like a mosaic pixelation effect.

@RogerS Not sure if you're talking about my version.

In Vegas the project is 1920x1080, Preview is set at Good (Half), On my 32" screen for that size project it should be at Good (Full), that's my fault, I normally work in 3840x2160 & (Half) plays better then (Full), I forgot to change it but that shouldn't affect the final render.

I did try changing Preview & a few other settings in the earlier videos but still couldn't make the picture jitter glitter, that's why i want to know more details from @Roger Bansemer, this also could be a Vegas Mocha thing which means I'm out 🤷‍♂️

The one on the right, which I think is the original.

I do have VEGAS Mocha and can test if there's a sample project with the same media.

@Roger Bansemer Yep the one on the right is orig, I'm off to bed, been up all night,

All I know is Vegas Mocha has to be transferred through PinP (is it?) where the picture might be getting altered 🤷‍♂️ It'd be interesting to find a resolve to this 👍

Almost certainly due to PiP. PiP resizes things pretty poorly ... and using Mocha Vegas and PiP I was able to match the 'glitter' effect. Mocha Pro and its Insert module don't have the same problem.

I've uploaded the two files to Google Drive. Haven't used it before so hope I got it right.
I've also uploaded (below) a new render of the issue showing the same still photo as a pip moving across the video which has no glitter effect.

Here's the link to google drive (hopefully) to the two files used in the issue.

ps. My drivers are up to date as of this morning which includes this latest sample. The video and still are stored on my laptop and not on a stick or something like that. My render settings are fine I think as I've rendered it as an MXF and also mp4.
