Freeze Frame
Hi Everyone,
I am sure this question is easily answered but it has been vexing me for over a week. In the credits for my movie I used cameos of the “stars” in action and then froze them into a still. The problem is that the still flutters when shown on television (from a DVD) but not on a computer. Does this have something to do with de-lacing?
I really appreciate this site.
Thanks,
Bill

Apply the De-interlace filter to the freeze frame.
All the best,

Yep. A frame of standard def video is made from two half frames, called fields, which are recorded a 60th of a second apart. When you make a freeze frame the two fields are displayed together and the motion difference recorded during that 60th of a second causes the flutter. The picture is alternating between the two slightly different fields every 60th of a second. De-interlacing will stop the flutter.
