Ok, I think I’ve narrowed down the problem:
The problem seems to occur AFTER I’ve rendered. Before I render, the video preview is very smooth.
After reading the PP User guide: I think my File Format & Compressor Settings (in Previews) are wrong, but I can not figure out a configuration that doesn’t make it choppy.
I’ve read that if you don’t use Adobe’s custom program settings, you can experience choppy playback. I’m using 1920×1080 square pixels 24fps. Is there a file format and compressor settings that will work? Is there some sort of codec that can download to fix this?
BTW: My options for File format are:
Video for Windows, Uncompressed 8 bit, Uncompressed 10 bit
Options for Compressor (with Video for Windows):
Cinepak Codec by Radius
Go-Pro Cineform Codec
Intel IYUV codec
Microsoft RLE
Microsoft Video 1
Uncompressed UVYV 422 8 Bit
None
I hope I hope I’m on the right track here.
Thanks for the help.
