pan and stills... jerky

johnpete wrote on 10/20/2002, 9:32 PM

I'm using VV 3.0c and I'm panning a lot of stills (1600 x 1200) from corner to corner in about 10 seconds. Most come out jerkey when rendered to MP2 files with the standard DVD settings.

What other settings should I adjust to make the panning very smooth?

I've done that, it helps but I still have problems.

You're probably panning too fast! Try panning at 15-20 seconds per image and you should get much smoother results. Be sure to set to resample. I frequently do a combination pan/zoom from a closeup and pan out or the other way around and get no jerkyness at all.

I was affraid of that.... that does work fine but for some shots it boring (15 - 20 seconds). I've worked around it by splitting it in half (using the still twice).

Shouldn't the motion blur help?

Also, make sure to use "Best" quality (project properties) with hi-res still. The downsampler produces less high-frequency artifacts which will help out the MPEG-2 encoder drastically. A tiny bit of Gaussion blur (applied in the video preview window) can help too.
