ok, i found the problem with my jitters
i never used the trimmer window to edit
i would trim video on the timeline
and sometimes when i laid one track on top of the other i wouldn't trim unwanted portions of the underneath event.
as a result, when i overlapped video, my final project render was JITTERY
i just discovered this
i am changing my editing technique as of right now
...from now on i am:
1) rendering best quality
2) printing to tape from the timeline
3) using the trimmer window
4) making sure i trim all unwanted portions of all events
i hope this helps someone because this drove me crazy
ok, i was already crazy--but it drove me crazier

Oh boy. VV3 is great except if you have to edit on the timeline. Your solution: Don't edit on the timeline. Let's hope this one doesn't get out.

1) overkill, you shouldn't get jitters using the good quality (maybe a bug with good setting ?). The only thing that "might" be better is anything you scale (Your PIPs for example). You can prerender these areas of the timeline at the best quality and save some mucho rendering time on everything else. That only applies to printing from timeline though. Maybe ver. 4 will save prerenders when rendering to avi.
2) Not sure what's going on here, still using ver. 2. Plan to update to ver. 3 in a few weeks. I'll do some test (track motion, slomo, hidden clips) with the demo and see what I get. Yes, I've found a way to save avi's in the demo. The demo doesn't use the SF DV codec. You guys might try a problem project with the MS codec and see if you can get clean AVI files rendered. Just uncheck the SF codec box in prefs and your good to go. Leave Ignore Third party codecs checked.
3) You can edit on the timeline if just don't do what your were doing. 90% of my editing is on the timeline.
Glad to hear you licked most of your problems. Good sleuthing on your part.

let me clear this up a little
i am a sloppy editer
if i lay down multi-tracks i lose focus
vv3 is awesome!!!
i luv it
but the way i edit--if i lay down 20 tracks--lots of picture in picture and track motion--i need to keep it clean as possible
the trmmier window is for me
thnx to all
