  • Stutter in stills motion

    Posted by Dan Plonsker on August 10, 2005 at 9:10 pm

    I’m trying to zoom in slowly on a still.
    I use motion (P6.5) for zooming from 100 to 120 on a 7 second still.
    Every second or so the image stutter (tremble).
    It’s driving me nuts….
    Any idea would be greatly appreciated.

    I suggest that you use Image Pan instead of Motion in 6.5 – while in Premiere Pro, Motion is the way to go.

    Thanks a lot Steven.
    It does seem to do the trick. I still have to check
    on a very slow movement, but life looks a bit more optimistic
    this morning…
    Thanks again,
    Dan

    Hi again Steven,
    The problem now is that on a slow change the movement is not smooth.
    It gets ‘jerki’.
    Any idea?
    Thanks

    Hi I dunno if this idea is dumb or anything But if u work 3d too. Ive done this using 3ds max. And u get amazing results and flexibility. Almost like really zooming into the picture. Another thing is the 3d camera takes a visual image directly like photographing a picture. So you wont get the pixellation like u do if u zoom in at the actual image. The virtual cam doesnt bother with the resolution but what it can see. And it recreates a visual optical version of its view in a very high res (what uve set as output res in your 3d render dialog). Try this. Its amazing. Its like taking a small picture. Putting it on a table top and photographing that photo with a 9 megapixel camera. Ull get a very high resolution version of the small photo. Burn me if im wrong but i did this once in max instead of using the video edit program. And it worked like a dream. Bye.

    Is it jerky because of some thin lines? Perhaps a slight blur would help?

    Thanks Steven.
    with motion the image sort of jump up and down a little bit (not all the clip time)
    With Image Pan it moves in a jumpy manner (sometimes like a strobe).
    Still trying to figure out why, as this didn’t happen in my 3 years old computer…

    Thanks plainman007,
    Unfortunately I don’t have 3dmax, but it’s an idea. May be I’ll use another program to try it. Although it seems too much as I have about 150 stills in my project.

    Dan,
    if it is the blur/interlaced problem that Steve is talking about, it is because Premiere does not handle certain pictures well, especially those who high contrast backgrounds. When you use motion and you say it is jumpy, do the jumps happen in preview mode or after render mode or both or on external monitor? If it were the former, then, it is likely that you system is not able to catch up. If it were in external monitor, then, it is 6.5 does not produce smooth motions. Image pan gets you closer to what is acceptable, but takes a lot of system resources / render time. RT preview may not be possible.

    Hope this help.

    Thanks Perry,
    I wouldn’t mind if it was only on the monitor but I get it after rendering too.
    I have the time (…) for rendering ‘Image pan’ but it’s not smooth also.
    What “killes” me is that everything was fine on my old computer. may be I should rebuilt it and go back in time 3 years……
