H.264 export file looks jittery
Exporting a Sony EX-1 1080/30p file as H.264 in Final Cut. Viewed on the timeline the pan moves look perfect but once exported they are jittery during pans and beautiful when the images is stationary.
Using a Macbook Pro with an eSata external drive. Exporting frame rate as Current (29.97) and forcing 29.97. Key frames set as automatic and everything between 3 and 30. Data rate set as automatic. Frame reordering checked. Quality set at Best/Multi-pass. Please let me know what I’m doing wrong.David Dewhurst

Try it in Compressor. Export from FCP (NOT using QT Conversion) a ref or self-contained file using Current Settings. Bring that into Compressor and be sure to turn on and adjust Frame Controls. FCP doesn’t do a great job of resizing or re-timing.

John,
Thanks for the help. Just making a self contained .mov with current settings almost made a perfect file. Just some very slight stuttering in pans. Excuse the ignorance, but how do you bring the.mov file into Compressor? When I try to open the file in Compressor it won’t let me.Once opened does the Adjust Frame Controls do something automatically or do I then have to set something? Thanks again for helping a newbie.David Dewhurst
