Sorry for the double post, my first post did not appear for about an hour and I figured it did not get processed, therefore I wrote another one.

Thanks for your answer, Kris!

My Canon 5d3 footage is not jittery at all, just handheld and a little shaky, therefore the stabilizing in AE.
I tried exporting with Quicktime animation (quality set to 80), but the problem after rendering out of PrPro is still there.
I am wondering as well that in the PrPro preset HDTV 1080p 25fps, the pixel aspect ratio default is set to 16:9, as all the original footage and sequence settings use square pixels.

What I do not understand is if I set the max. bitrate in PrPro to 40Mbit/s, why do my vlc and ps3 info show bitrates of >100Mbit/s when the AE clips play? This is what causes the problem and I do not know the remedy. As long as I do not have any sort of AE files in the PrPro timeline, export at max. 40Mbit/s plays perfect with all players.

I am grateful for any hint, thanks!

Thank you for your response, Kris!

The original footage plays very smooth in both PP and AE, but it was shot handheld and therefore a bit shaky.

As for the square pixels, the H.264 HDTV 1080p 25 fps preset shows a Widescreen 16:9 pixel aspect ratio which I change to square pixels, this makes me wondering too, since the original footage and the sequence are all set to square pixels.

I just did an export from AE using Quicktime animation with quality set to 80%. No change, as soon as I export out of PrPro, I get stuttering playback during all those scenes.

What I am wondering, if I set the H.264 export to max. bitrate of 40Mbit/s, why is the PS3 showing bitrates of >100Mbit/s during the playback of those AE clips, where the stuttering occurs?

As for CS6, I want to change, but I think I will wait for CS7. I have not yet made up my mind if I want to join their cloud program.
