Why don't you begin by describing the procedure you used in detail. Then we may be able to see what went wrong. I would suggest your description might start with the resolution of the still photos.

Had this problem myself.

If at all possible convert to .png file outside of VV. Be aware that on your PC monitor you are seeing a progressiv rendition of interlaced video so your video may have interlace artifacts on moving vertical edges. Also becuase the proeview may be dropping frames will also add to the jerkiness.

Prerendering the clip will get rid of the apparent jerkiness on preview, in either case this will not appear on the rendered output when viewed on a TV.

Lots of posts in the past two months on this subject. Search on "jitter" and "still."

Short version of answers given in these other post:

1. Scan pictures to achieve at least 720x480 resolution, preferably more.
2. In the "Render As" dialog, click on "Custom" and then set rendering quality to best (good is fine for everything except rendering still pics).
3. Right click on one of your pictures and set Resample to "Force" and click on "Reduce Interlace Flicker."

[Edit] Removed bad advice re: supersample. Also, you don't have to set resample starting in Vegas 5. Smart Resample (the default) works fine.

The pictures are 295 * 443 * 24 (JPEG) now I realize that the quality of the picture will be degraded when rendered in 720 * 480 NTSC format (look better than I hoped). But I would sitll like to remove the jitter effect of the rendering process. When rendering I have selected Windows AVI format, and the best capture settings. Selecting the lower field first, NTSC DV format, and the default interleave every 0.250 seconds.

Then suggestions from johnmeyer helped a bit (Thanks), but didn't completely clear it up.

Aside from the jitter problem if you have Photoshop you can try an old trick to increase size without badly hurting quality. Begin by resaving in your favorite lossless format. Now take that file and increase its size by just 10%. Take it and repeat, again increasing by 10% and so on. You frequently can double the original size sometimes a little more with this method. DON'T try it while in jpeg format though. The excessive number of generations will ruin it.
