Move text and pics from left to right smoothly?

[Jameson Schultz]

One way would be to add motion blur to your layer. By click the motion blur check box on the layer and then the motion blur globals in you comp window you will have added motion blur.

The only other way I can think of is when you render out leave the fields set to Off, so that it renders progressively.

~Hope this helps~

Thanks a lot, but I’m already usind motion blur and fields off, and the result is terrible.
I’ve seen this kind of work on tv, there must be a plugin to help After Effects on this topic…
I hope someone could help me, this is kind of easy theorycally, but…

Thanks anyway for your time and kindness,

Sometimes you just can’t avoid “judder” on a horizontal pan. Did you see Inside Man? There’s a horrible pan in a small room that made me turn away, lest I turn to stone. Ugh.

If I were you, I’d search the COW Archives (advanced search) using “judder” as a search term with “Roberts” as the Author. Then, if you like, look at the threads that contained those posts.

By the way, you should try rendering with fields, not without.
Try changing the speed of the pan.

Anyway, do the search for more info.

Steve,
is there any technical reason to render with fields on? Any time I have the “judder” problem it gets incredibly worse if I render with fields, especially for something like credits on black video.

That’s right, thank you so much. I didn’t find anything about it that could helpe me, I think I’ll have to change the time of my animation or even the effect I want..

Big hugs.

Sorry, I can’t say it for sure.

Interesting. I think you’re talking about a different problem, where field order is reversed, and fields are playing back 1,2,1,2 where they were shot as 2,1,2,1 .. so you’d see a rapid shifting back and forth. This can be fixed by interpreting the footage as the oppiste field first (i.e. “lower”, not “upper” or vice versa).

The “judder” of which is an optical phenomenon where the “persistence of vidion” effect breaks down because our eyes can start to figure out where the next frame will appear. This is because the motion is regular, in a straight line, and the objects do not change.
Motion blur may or may not help — oftentimes the eye can still see the individual frames, only now they are blurry.
Rendering to fields helps smooth out the motion a bit, but I don’t like fields, personally.
Anyway, I recommend changing the motion of the camera and/or the objects or adding other moving things (fairy dust?) to distract the viewer so the eye doesn’t have time to figure out the motion and discern the individual frames.

That’s my theory, anyway. 🙂

[Jameson Schultz]

That must be it. My judder is different from your judder. I’ll call mine “the problem formerly known as judder” 🙂

ok. have you any idea how to solve the problem with “YOUR”…?
