  • Traveling lines on a bldg jpeg

    Posted by Sherwood Ball on September 5, 2007 at 7:25 pm

    Two glaring spots in my doc/chapter with lines traveling.

    One, a large bldg jpeg where the horizontal lines of the roof
    are a hug distraction with the traveling. Square Pixels –
    Field Dominance NONE.

    Two, a jpeg of a text document where text is underlined.
    The underlines are traveling. Square pixels, Field Dominance
    NOT SET.

    What’s the fix?

    Thnx,
    Sherwood

    On both shots I’m doing a slow zoom in via Motion tab.

    Not sure what you mean by “traveling,” but if the lines are jittering or flickering you have a few things to look at. One, is your jpeg overly large? It should be around twice your frame size at 72 dpi. Next, are you moving it with the motion tab? slower is better, same with scaling, a big zoom can cause problems. Next, try adding a slight vertical or gaussian blur to it, and/or the flicker filter.
