Jumpy render
Anyone have a similar problem?
When I render a 3 minute clip, I get a very jumpy rendered video file when I play it back on my Windows Media Player.
The files I am editing are (supplied by customer):
.m4v
720 x 480
progressive
Aspect ratio: 1.1852
format: AVCI don’t have any crazy FX. Just spliced up clips to make a smaller video.
Project settings:
720 x 480
progressive
Aspect ratio: 1.2121Rendered them to .mpeg2 with the same settings as project. The file plays like it is randomly skipping a second of video. It also looks like a some motion blur too. The audio is fine. I tried other render settings and got a similar result.
I am using Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10.0
Final output is a DVD and youtube.
Thanks for your time!

Don’t use WMP. The free VLC Media Player is far superior to the Microsoft player.

Thank you Steve for your response.
The problem is not just with the WMP. My youtube video is jumpy with motion blur too. I do about 200 videos each year but this happens rarely. Does this have anything to do with bit rate or field order?
This is my edited video…

rendered to .wmv, 720×480, 1.2121, 3.1Mbps
(same result when rendered to mpeg2 with same settings)This is the customer supplied .m4v video…

I guess that my first question would be, why are you encoding WMV?
Unless you really need to, don’t touch the default field order. It’s almost always correct. If you are encoding for DVD, then you should be using VBR encoding with a max bitrate of 9mbps and an average of 7 or 8 mbps. Your video is short enough that these parameters should work for you. If you are encoding for Youtube, then use the Sony AVC filetype, Youtube template. You might experiment with bumping the bitrate up here, too.

Ok, I’ll try it. Thanks!
One reason I use .wmv is because I supply the customer with the video file so they’re able to share it online. I think wmv is the most compatible with anyone’s computer. In the past I provide my customers with an mp4 and I would always get bugged for a file they’re able to watch on their computers.
I also use wmv because my mp4 does not render in the proper settings. I set it for 16:9 and it outputs to 4:3. That’s a different issue on its own. It must have a bug in my Movie Studio HD Platinum 10 software. Pro 8 worked for me in the past.
