  Flutter in video of stills

  Posted by Larry Lancit on March 18, 2011 at 2:37 pm

  I am editing a piece in FCP7 using video from a flipcam. I MPEG Streamclipped it to be .mov files for stability. When I try to insert still pictures into the piece, it looks fine in the timeline, but when I export as a .mov file, the still pictures have a flutter in the video. Can anyone help me stop the flutter?

  Sequence settings?
  Format & Size of stills?
  Do you export “current settings”?

  Hi Chris–The sequence settings are DV NTSC 48Khz
  The format of the pix are jpg., and are too small, so I enlarge them in the canvas. When I export, I export as a self-contained quicktime movie (.mov)

  It’s comes from:

  Low rez jpegs.
  DV compression.

  I would recommend using higher and larger quality stills.
  Change sequence to DV50 or higher.
  Try again.
