    I looked at this thread

    But this is dealing with something possibly even more basic. It’s not video I’m dealing with it’s just a still photo.

    Have you ever been key framing a simple photo for a slide show video, and that particular photo you’re keying just jitters for no reason?

    I’m creating a very simple animated scroll for a photo. Starting the scale out very small, and increasing the size over about 5 seconds so it looks like you’re zooming into the photo.

    In the middle of the zoom the picture will do a very noticeable blip, or jump, or something that’s causing me to want to rip FCP out and bash it on the ground if that were possible… sorry.. Italian temper.

    I haven’t trashed user data and prefs yet so that might be a fix to something. I’ve removed all attributes and started over. And the other times it will not blip in the exact same spot, but it will still jump a little in a different spot.

    Thanks,
    Vinnie

    Hi res stills can create aliasing as you move or zoom. A slight gaussian blur wil slightly soften which reduces jittery artifacts.

    Also have a look at Walter Biscardi’s tutorial on working with stills and how to understand pixels and dpi.

    Make sure your keyframes are whole even numbers. Hi rez photos will jitter.

    Try Motion.
