Flicker transitions during DVD playback
When I encode the video from the timeline I will occasionally get a “flicker” when using a transition, like the “Push” effect, when I play back the DVD on a tv set. It’s not noticeable when played on a computer monitor I use the presets in the Media Encoder, although I turn the quality up to 5. I have the RTX2 and use the Matrox Encoder but it uses the same interface as the Adobe encoder.
So what are some good settings for high quality, flicker free DVD’s?

The flickering could be from an interlacing issue. It could be the effect itself has a bug in the Matrox plugin. Have you tried to chat about it in their group discussions? Otherwise here are a couple of work around ideas:
-If you have the RT.x2 you should be able to hook up a tv to the PPro timeline in the output breakout box. Use that as your guide to how the effect is working.
– Matrox has WYSIWYG technology so if you are seeing it happen through a monitor connected to the breakout box from PPro timeline it will most likely be there on export.
– Is it a Matrox effect? Or PPro? Try one then the other to see if they both have the same problem.
– Blur the clip that is transitioned (got the problem) just a little. As a test.
– Deinterlace the parts of the clips that have the transition applied to them.
– make the effect shorter. See if speeding it up makes it less noticeable.
– Matrox used to have it’s own encoding interface for MPEG-2, it was under export to matrox… Try that for the encode.If none of this helps, tell me what your clips info is:
frame rate, tranistion type/length, DV/HDV, Project info (like frame rate, field domination (upper/lower), PAL/NTSC. Speed changes? Is it part of a nested sequence.Cheers, Jon Barrie
