  • Smooth out animation on Premiere Pro

    Hi everyone!

    I’d really like some technical assistance on the best render settings to use for animation that is as smooth as possible on Premiere Pro (CC).

    All of the visuals in the video project are graphics that have been animated using keyframes. Appropriate “ease in” and “ease out” effects have been added to virtually every keyframe in the project. There are also fairly constant applications of “Basic 3D”.

    Here’s the problem: When I render out the video it just looks kind of choppy. Here is a look at it: https://youtu.be/vW4HCaA6AWg

    I’m hoping that there is a way to smooth out the action, particularly the pans (and the zooms to some extent).

    Here’s a look at my sequence settings:

    I’m rendering with H.264 with “Match Source – High Bitrate”.

    I’ve tried choosing “Frame Blending” on Render, but it looks just awful (far worse than without it). I’ve also tried rendering at maximum depth, but I get an “Unknown Error” everytime I try that.

    Any suggestions about getting the motion to smooth out and look better?

    Thanks for your input!

    John

    Hi!

    Just a few suggestions, as my company creates a lot of videos in this style:

    • Try to fly some of your animations over to After Effects (select and choose Create AE Composition). It will open them in AE. You can check your motion interpolation there. You can also add motion blur, which will add some realism and more smoothness to the animations. Go back to PP and render them right on your timeline. In general, you’ll get more pleasing animations in AE anyhow, even if you start them in PP.

    • No need for 1080i and adding interlacing to screen capture content, can you choose a 1080P setting?

    • On your export, using H.264, set your bitrate to variable with 7000-10000 kbps and see if that helps
