  • Render isn’t fluid. Choppy compared to source

    Posted by Michaelxxxx on April 2, 2007 at 6:51 pm

    Any idea on why a straight render to MPG2 DVD NTSC from a WMV source that looks excellent would come out NOT looking like video. It plays choppy, visually like 10-20 fps instead of 29.97 fluid looking. pans are not smooth, they chop a little, just barely, but enough to drive you spare.

    Project and render settings are NTSC DVD settings.

    Is there some magic setting to make it pump out a file that looks as good as the source?

    Even hitting play in the workspace and viewing it on the external Firewire monitor looks choppy yet the project is set to NTSC DVD.

    I’ve tried setting it to double fps 59.94 – no visible change. Computer is asinine fast so it’s not the PC. (Happens on 2 different ones anyways). Using V7.

    Sounds like you messed up field order.

    Are you using interlaced source?
    Field order in project settings, your source media files (footages)
    and in the resulting mpeg should be consistent.

    Most likely lower field first.

    Some uncommon capture devices produce upper field first videos,
    if you treat these as lower field, you get exactly the problem
    you described.

    Look around about field orders, and play with them.
