video stutters

[Noah Kadner]

24p or 24pA? And stutter how? There’s a well known documentation that this camera must be taken care of to avoid motion artifacting just like a film camera. Set shutter speed to at least 1/48 and take care with fast pans.

Noah,
I used 24p, default shutter speed (1/48). The pan was a SLOW L>R. Raw video looked good on computer and tv screens. But running it through Premiere 6.0 and separetly through AE 5.5 the pan looked jerky, stuttering, 2 steps forward, 1 step back, don’t know what to call it other than crappy looking…

Been reading some of the posts on DVX user as well but haven’t seen a solution when rendered through the software…

Thanks again for your thoughts.

If your raw video looked good, then you have a problem with your post gear.

Can you try loading it on someone else’s equipment, say an FCP suite? That should point you in the right direction. Perhaps the Premier Forum here at the Cow can help.

Thanks Leo,

I live in tinytown, USA, aka Roswell, NM and NLE systems are hard to come by but I’ll give a looksee.

Abductions are more common then NLE’s…

Thanks again,

AFAIK you have to step up to PPRO 1.5 for proper DVX100 usage. And make sure you are capturing at 29.97 not 24 or 23.98.

Boy, you know how to ruin a guy’s day…

Guess I’ll just be satisfied to shoot in 60i until somebody starts buying these videos…

Thanks Noah.

I’d also suggest a visit to an Adobe Premiere forum as I’ve been off that train for years.

Noah is right, you need PPro 1.5 to remove the pulldown in 24pA correctly. you can still shoot in 24p if you are just going to go to NTSC.

You can also shoot in 24p and remove the 3:2 pulldown.

Or if you have after effects 6.0 or better, you can bring all your footage into there and remove the advanced pulldown then render out as a 24 frame file, then bring it into anything lower than Ppro 1.5 and cut away, time consuming, but cheaper than upgrading.

Of course if you don’t have AE 6.0 or better…..I am all out of suggestions.

Ryan, Only have AE 5.5std (no tears, please). How can pulldown be removed? What I shot was24p, not 24pa. Also turned off the OIS with no change.

Thanks again,

In AE 5.5 once you import your footage, right click (PC) or Control Click (MAC) on your footage in the project window and choose to interpret the footage.

Select the 3:2 pulldown removal. There you go, pulldown removed.
