  • Video Jitters and the H264 codec

    Posted by Tom Verga on July 18, 2011 at 10:36 pm

    Hi all, hoping some enlightened person out there can help me. I’m editing a dance recital that was originally shot in H264 (I know, it’s terrible) and then I transcoded it to ProRes 422. Using two video streams here, going between to the two cameras to create a 2 cam edit. Only problem is, when I do a dissolve between the 2 cams, I get a very bad video jitter, also happens when I try to put a lower third graphic on it as well. Here’s a link and you’ll see what I mean.

    So is there any way that I can stop this jitter from happening? For the record, I have tried using a different timeline, shortening the dissolve one frame, and using a different dissolve. I am sure there must be some way around this, I’m sure I am not the only person this has happened to.

    Thanks to all!

    Are both clips pro-res and match sequence settings?

    Make sure you render settings are set to full.
    Choose render menu – render – full.
    Export “Current Settings” make self contained. Play that file back in QT.
