slo motion causes stuttering

dvideo2 wrote on 4/15/2009, 10:03 AM

I'll try reposting this question....can anyone offer some advice?

When I slow down my video clips, I notice many times there is a resulting stuttering effect on the video. Instead of the image being smooth, I see several mini "stutters" (quick hesitating stops on the clip).
Any advice?
thanks.....

how are you doing the slow motion? i.e. in the sample rate or have you stretched the clip....

On Vegas 5, which is the version I still use, there is a default setting called "Smart Resample". For slo-mo using velocity envelopes, try "Disable Resample".

Any major difference between "force" and "smart" resample?
thanks again...

I'm afraid I don't know what the difference is between "force" and "smart" resample. Presumably there is a difference, otherwise they would be redundant....

Whatever, if your Vegas is set to "Smart resample" and you are having trouble with "jittery" slo-mo, just do the experiment--switch to "Disable resample", at least for the clips that you've slowed down, and see if that helps.

If it doesn't help, it doesn't cost you anything...
