still flickering track shot.!!..
hello again.
I’m still experiencing a flickering track shot of still images.
i’ve tried all the commonly advised points.
i tried doing the whole horizontal blur thing too, but no joy.i tried exporting a version at 60fps. Now that is what i want my 3sec pan to look like. no jitter or flicker.
once again ive tried all the commonly explain points. (motion blur, interlace, directional blur, apply adjustment blur layers, organic motion paths…)
is this going to be possible? it should be such a straight forward thing to do… i cant believe this is still bugging me..
pls help.

Ah. Is it a horizontal pan? Are the vertical lines stuttering or juddering? You may be stuck with it. I’ve come across this effect when attempting to slide a series of stills (boxes, basically) across the frame.
Consider that in a movie, you are playing back a series of still images no matter what you do. If the motion is regular, in one direction, and there’s no other motion, there is nothing to distract your eye from the regular linear motion, so it gets used to it and starts to see the individual still images. That’s the juddering you see, in my opinion. It’s not seen at 60 fps because the images change too fast for our eyes to keep up.
To solve this problem, I’ve used a few tricks:
– render to fields
– add some distracting motion elsewhere (ribbons, particles, text)
– make the images follow a non-straight path (it has to be pretty irregular)
– do something different altogether
– try to mask out the images’ borders, so there are no straight lines in each image (right)
– tell the client it’s unavoidable … if they notice it.
Motion blur or directional blur hasn’t worked for me in this case, as I end up seeing juddering blurry images instead.my 2 cents,
Steve
