    Hey all. I have a layer which consists of a picture masked out and im animating only its right to left position. From frame 0 to 476. Now when i do a playback and even a render the motion stutters. Can anyone offer insight as to why its doing this. Thanks

    It’s called “judder”. It has to do with the speed at which something moves horizontally across the screen. Here’s an article about it: https://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/908/cpsid_90843.html
