  • Tipical Jpg’s movements flickering problem

    Hi

    since several month I’m struggling with moving jpg’s in After Effects. The solutions to eliminate flickering and strobed movements I tried until now are:

    Reduce Large images to 72dpi
    Reduce Interlace Flicker Effect
    Fast Blur
    Motion Blur
    Field rendering (both upper first or lower first)
    Contrasts reduction
    Saturation reduction

    Beside some improvement the problem is still there. A friend of mine showed to me a free software digirostrum that provides easy photo’s movements. He didn’t had to apply any filters or modify whatsoever the photo, the movement was perfectly smooth. But when I installed it on my computer I still had a slight flickering problem. My friend has a win2k workstation while I’m working on XP sp2. It is possible that flickering and strobing problem occurring often on photos movements in after effects are due to rendering conflict with the operative system (in this case XP sp2) or with some hardware conflict rather than other?

    how are you looking at the movie? makes a difference. video on an interlaced tv or monitor looks a lot different than video in a web movie. Frame rate makes a difference, speed of movement makes a difference. even data rate makes a difference.

    if we knew what your output requirements are, including size and frame rate if it’s for the web, you might get some suggestions that would work. without knowing any of that it would be very difficult to tell you anything meaningful.

    I’m working in video PAL 720×576 squarepix 25fps interlaced.

    Yes,

    I can watch it on TV (computer firewire output passing through Canon XL1) and I put also on DVtape to watch on another monitor.
    It is not a problem of computer monitor refresh frequence or other.
    Sure that it not can be a software conflict with OS or hardware?
