Pan crop tool jitters?
Hi, I have just finished a 45 min documentary. I have been working in draft mode in Vegas 6d for the last 5 months & have loved it. I made the DVD to present to the client today & had to call them up & say it was not ready because there are some clips that shake/jitter & have some shadowed lines around people talking. When I apply reduce interlace flicker under the Edit/Switches it does not jitter any more but the quality of the image is significantly reduced. Definitely not good enough for broadcast.
The problem is I don’t know how to fix it. I have cropped most images with a letterbox type psd mask & repositioned the clips with the pan/crop tool. They all have colour correction. That -

Grant, I vaguely recall reading in a Vegas forum somewhere about the pan/crop tool sometimes changing the field order from lower to upper. As I recall, a possible solution was to adjust the pan/crop settings to be one line higher or lower. Another suggestion was to try a very small amount (0.001) of (horizontal??) gaussian blur. Hopefully someone else has other suggestions for you.

Correction. Change horizontal gaussian blur to vertical.

Thanks for your response, changing to upper field did not seem to work. The Gaussian blur did work but blurred the image a little too much by the time it removed the flicker. I am sure on some images it would be ok. The vertical Gaussian blur was better than the horizontal. Thanks for pointing that out.
The best solution I have found is to apply the “REDUCE INTERLACE FLICKER” to the clip, then apply a sharpen filter to take out the blurring it creates. It seems to work well. Unless there is any other simple solution out there ? I will go down that path.
Grant.
