Frame jitter in Premiere 6.0…HELP! (I know, who is still using 6.0, right?)
First….yes, I am a newbie and yes I am using *gasp* Premiere 6.0.
But I’m hoping someone will be willing to help anyway 😉
The Background Details:
A section of my timeline consists of 4 stills that are zoomed down to 30% and displayed one in each corner of the video frame. The sequence is only about 10 seconds and involves some keyframing with colors. Each stillframe is on its own video track and has the white alpha matte applied.The Problem:
When i render the sequence (after making preview file from hd) each of the frames within the frame has this jittery, jumpy appearance. The frames aren’t supposed to move at all. There is no “motion” applied, however i did use the motion settings box to resize and reposition the stills. I tried using the deinterlace option for each clip, and also flicker removal, but the same thing keeps happening. The stills keep shaking.I know 6.0 sucks as a whole but is there anything I can do, via a plug-in, settings I haven’t tweaked with etc?? ANY help would be much appreciated! Thanks!!

It is possible that your stills need deinterlacing if they were taken from video originally. Best do this outside Premiere. If my guess is correct, that will probably fix your problem. If not, come back for more help.
If you have not done so already, get the 6.01 upgrade (or 6.02 if you are on XP and have problems with 6.01). 6.01 fixes several significant issues with the basic 6.0 version.

You might also try adding a slight blur to the images. Many times this can remove the overly “edgy” appearance.

Thanks for the suggestion. So I tried using the de-interlace filter option on the pulled stills in Photoshop, but that still didn’t help either. What is curious is that if I zoom them back to 100% (filling the entire frame) in Premiere, the shake goes away (with the deinterlacing turned on of course). It is only when they are zoomed down to a smaller size that they seem to be jittery.
Ah, so it goes…

You might therefore want to try resizing the images to 1/4 screen in PhotoShop and see if that stops it.
