Jerky results.
Hi,
I have created a project in PP 7.0. I have rendered the final project before exporting Movie/Microsoft DV AVI. I then import the file into Encore 2.0 for authoring. The problem is that the preview of the movie plays fine in the monitor timeline window. When it is finally burned to DVD though, the final result is when someone moves in the video, it is jerky movements. I can’t figure out what is going on. I took the raw source material and used another video editor and the project turned out fine? Any thoughts? Thank you, Michael -

Hi there,
Your first issue is the export format. DV is not a good choice, since it uses a very high compression ratio, and is basically only used by camcorders. Even if your original project is captured as DV, exporting to DV will recompress again and reduce the quality much further, especially if you added color correction, titles, etc.
The optimal setting for exporting is uncompressed / lossless; After that, it would be Mpeg2, since that is what Encore wants, but that means calculating quality vs available space on the DVD. If you do not have at least 100gb per hour of hard drive space then use the media encoder option and choose mpg2.
Other than that, jerkiness can also be due to a mix-up in field order. DV is always lower field first.

I went to “Export Movie Settings” and this is what I found. It was set to under the “General Tab”, Microsoft DV AVI. And under the “Video tab” the comprssor option tab was set at “cinpak codec by Radius”. Now, I have the option to set these at 1. Microsoft AVI for file type and set the 2., compressor setting to none. This will probably take awhile to render, but do you think this would take care of it? Thanks, Michael

Hi,
You should then set it to 2 (No compressor). Cinepack is actually much worse than DV, a very old format used for the slower CD Rom days.
It will take a little longer, but especially requires quite a bit of hard drive space, but that is the only setting you will be able to use if you want a clean result. I would resize the work area to about 1 minute and do a test to make sure everything else is fine.
My settings may look different since I am using 2.0, but you may also be able to use Adobe Media Encoder in the export menu, if you are running out of hard drive space. In that case you would pick Mpeg2 as mentioned in the previous thread.
Again, uncompressed will run about 100 GB per hour of video.
Cheers,
Vince

I have found same results when extracting a video frame. I don’t see any jerkiness until the DVD is burned.
How I can prevent this to happen???

Any advice when capturind a video still??Please help!

Did all of the settings and still had the problem. Then, I tried to right click one of the clips and reversed field dominace. That worked! This was a analog capture originally from Hi-8 camera. How can I initally set my project so this does not happen again. I believe the lower field dominace was originally set for the project. Puzzeled.
