    Posted by Reanimator1 on January 5, 2006 at 11:29 pm

    I’m having a real problem with a still image that I need to move from right to left with the playback. The problem is, there is almost an interlace flicker in both the RAM preview and the render. I’ve checked all the usual problems i.e. motioin blur, frame rate, render quality etc. and nothing seems to be helping this out. When I put motion blur on, the actual motion blur started to flicker in playback.

    If anyone has any ideas of what I could do to make it a smooth animation I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks,

    Sean

    On the timeline there is a ‘quality’ toggle. Make sure it’s set to ‘best’. Setting the quality to best in the render settings isn’t enough.

    I’ve tried that as well. I even tried putting a directional blur on the image as well as changing the image from a psd to a tiff to see if it was the format. Thanks for the input though.

    Can you upload the rendered video somewhere so we can look at it?

    I actually have had the same problem…its a pain. I think it might have to do with the codec that your using to compress the file. I’m still trying to deal with this issue.

    I don’t think its in the codec, it might be for the output. But it still looks the same however, in the RAM preview, unless there is some way to change the codec of that, that I am not aware of, I think the problem is some how rooted in the image file, but I don’t know.

    Thanks

    I just solved the problem, it wasn’t the codec or anything like that. It was the refresh rate on my second monitor. After 2 days of pulling my hair out I viewed the movie on my other monitor and it looked great. I felt like I was going to punch something but thats usually the case.

    Thanks for the help.
