Not sure how or why it worked but it did!!!
Just to be quick … this happened only when my adjustment layer was not visible. When I made it visible the jitters went away.
Now to just give some background into what I was doing for those who have the time ….
I had stills in a comp and used the Matrix Creator from Red Giant. No camera present. I used a blur effect on an adjustment layer (to come in during the moves – not to mask any interlace problems, just for effect). I sized and cropped all my stills in PS and imported the PSD as a non-cropped comp.
So I had some moves in 3d space from still to still and it ram previewed fine but when I auditioned in QT or FCP I had a (what looked to be like) jitter in the frame when the picture was not supposed to be moving however each jitter seemed to replicate the [desired] move previous. Ok… didn’t explain that well … basically I had a 12 second comp. I had a matrix of 25 picts (5 rows repeating the 5 picts) I flew from a still pict to another still pict and sat of each for 2 seconds. Now if the move from pic a to pick b was a diagnal move top left to bottom right (which happened in approx 10 frames with easy is out and in respectively) then while the still was supposed to be motionless for the 2 seconds, I would get a jitter that seemed to be jumping 3 pixels between top left to bottom right. The same goes for the other moves ie. left to right, bottom to top, etc…
Perhaps an adjustment layer is supposed to cause this problem if it’s made not visible but I don’t know. The blur showed up even when the adjustment layer was non-visible.
I would love to know why this happens if anyone knows!!
Thanks so much ya’ll!
