Jittery / Jerky video during pan motion

[Steve Rhoden]

Just simply do those kind of motion graphics in After Effects if you have it…Its made for it.

I understand that… but Sony Vegas Video is supposed to be able to do this. This is just a simple pan motion of one static jpg image. It would nice to be able to do something Vegas is made to do without having to use another program.

Saying just use AE is like saying just use Premiere while I’m at it.

show us the Vegas results. I’ve done this in Vegas with no jerkiness.

It’s the video embedded in my first post.

I ran into the same problem some time ago.
The only workaround I found was slowing down the pan and add a slight motion blur to the event.

The way I overcome it was to make the project with the frame rate @ 100 FPS ( or any higher number ) , None Progressive scan – Blend fields and then the timeline images set Reduce interlace flicker and Non Progressive and render as None progressive with 60 FPS and it is very smooth. Using standard FPS in the project is jerky. Worth a try for you John

[Brad Miller]

I’ll give that a try. Good idea.

Once you rendered it at that frame rate, and added the rendered clip to a 30fps project, was it still smooth in the final project?

[John Bolton]

Hi there .. I added the MPEG file to a video which was @30FPS and rendered again and it ws still looking OK.

Hey, I am having the same issues. I have a project that consists entirely of jpegs in Sony Vegas Movie Studio, and some of my pans/zooms seem to jitter or stutter somewhat. Did anyone figure this out yet?

[Brad Miller]

Unfortunately I have not, so I’m sticking with Adobe After Effects.
