Jittery video when burn to DVD – field problem
Hi all,
I’m trying to export video onto DVD, but no matter which field setting I used, I keep on getting jittery video. Lower and Upper field gave me jittery video, while the Progressive gave me jittery video and diagonal lines on the outlines of objects/people. Any suggestion on how to fix this?
More info: The project is a Standard DV PAL 48kHz, I didn’t use the Matrox project because it kept on crashing the computer everytime I do a Matrox project. However, I captured using the Matrox card as this it the only way I can capture it.
Please help. Thank you in advance 🙂

It sounds like you are using Matrox .avi files in a Premiere DV project, right? I work with NTSC, but my understanding is that Matrox DV uses the opposite field order than the Premiere DV preset. I am not in front of Premiere right now, but you should be able to change the field order of clips on the timeline. Try a right-click of the clip and I believe there is an option to reverse field order.
This may be the answer, and then just choose a standard PAL DVD preset for export, do not change the field settings there. Perhaps try a short sample of a minute of two and see if this method works for you

Is there a chance that the Matrox footage was re-scaled at some point? I know this can happen with NTSC (486 vertical –> 480 vertical), which can smear the fields together, and really trash things.
But, if I remember, PAL doesn’t have the issue of differing vertical resolution.-jeff

Hi there,
Sounds like you have aliase problems,
professional post-production houses have tools for this kind of problems, you are not going to fix in
Premiere, sorry.try to open your rendered file in After Effects and take a look at it – you can try to export short mpeg2 clip from After Effects using Effect/Blur & Sharpen/Reduce Interlace flicker filter. 0.6 – 1.0 usually is enough for PAL. But this blurs vertically your whole picture. You can also try Final Cut Pro with aliase filter.
Also, to de-interlace your video in After Effects, use Interpret footage/lower fields option (for matrox avi) or https://www.revisionfx.com/products/fieldskit/ plug-in, this gives you the best results.
Best flicker filter on the planet would be the Digital Vision DVO Brickwall filter, if you can get your hands on it… but I doubt you will.
