Thanks Chris,

I think that after almost 2 hours of troubleshooting (checking dimensions of image vs. video vs. sequence, field settings/dominance, different image formats, etc, etc), I finally discovered the cause to the problem.

If one of my video files that I was multi-camming between had just a “Color Balance” effect on it (this is on the sequence that has four cameras synced; and that one sequence is now on V1 of my edited/final sequence) and is the active clip when the lower third graphic appears, the video jumps…..but only when it IS rendered.

I had other cameras that I used “Color Balance” on along with “Fast Color Corrector” and these clips didn’t not exhibit the jump. So my quick fix for the time being is the simply add a “Fast Color Corrector” effect to the troubled files and not actually tweak any of the settings on it.

Now I’m off to continue re-checking, re-rendering, and re-mastering. Fun! 😉

Thanks for the advice David,

I had to go out of town for a while, but I have tried everything I can think of. Reinstalling QT, doing a repair installation of AE, doing a complete reinstall of the entire CS3 Suite, and nothing seems to remedy this issue. I really need to get this fixed – just about every piece of stock footage is a .MOV and now I have to transcode them all to .AVI just to use them. Not very time efficient, or good on my stress levels! 😉

Does anyone out there have any more ideas what it could be? Thanks.
