  Jagged frames in output video from Motion 5

  Posted by Andrew Tan on October 11, 2011 at 9:21 am

  Forgive me if this has come up in the forum before, but I really couldn’t find any related post.

  Lately I have been experiencing a problem that there are jagged frames in output videos from Motion 5, that is, once every seconds there is a frame with small but noticable jagged pixels, kind of like the scraches on the old film, this really ruins the video clip and I am here asking if anyone has had similar problems and maybe there is a solution out there?

  I run motion 5 on my Macbook Pro (mid-2010 model, 15 inch, 4G RAM, 2.66GHz Intel i7, NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512MB), I used to have Motion 4 on the same machine and it never had that problem. Plus, same thing happens when I tried to output video from Imovie the other day as well.

  On the other hand, I guess it may have to do with my hardware problem (RAM or Graphic Card), or my laptop needs a dust-clean.

  Very much appreciated!

  Any kind of help is greatly appreciated.

  hi.
  I have the exact same problem.
  I’m running on an MBP 2.8Ghz i7; 4 Gb memory; with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MB; Lion OS.

  This thing it totally random. I can export the same file 3 times, and those “corrupt frames” will show up in different parts of the movie.
  Plus, I noticed that if I use Final cut (or any other program at the she time while I’m exporting it, those corrupt frames will be more frequent.

  Did you find a solution to this problem?
  thanks
