Checked last night to see if I had the most current updates and I do.

As for rendering from another , “AEP” (Does this mean After Effects Project” – if not please clarify).

If that doesn’t work, I would be happy to change preferences back to default via the means you described and will post back my results.

Thanks,

Neil

meant to say: “memory,” (not “processing power”) doesn’t seem to be the issue. I also have a decent gaming graphics card (I’ll look up the spec if it is relevant to this problem”.

Michael,

That link helped and the subsiquent links on that page spoke to a bunch of topics I wanted clarification on. Thanks a million. Hopefully I won’t have to work late tommorow and can apply what I learned.

Wow. I can’t wait to try out what you described after work today. Luckily I have the whole adobe production suite 5.5, so I believe I have adobe encoder. Thanks so much…I had been experimenting and googling every evening this past week and my trouble-shooting research turned up nothing about that program, but that makes a lot of sense.

Walter, Ted, & David,

Thanks for your interest and recommendations. I did some research on the subject of judder and I now know its a 24p chronic issue with medium speed zooms and pans. I will definatly experiment with the techniques you suggested in addtion to planning my shots to avoid the issue in the first place (faster/slower camera moves, purposeful camera bounce, moving subjects/objects to steal the focus away etc).

Cheers to this site again for being so helpful.

I am working in 24p, panning relatively slow (an establishing shot). The still is approximately twice as wide as the screen size and I am panning across the entire still from left to right (begining on the left 1/2 and ending on the right 1/2 of the overall width of the image).

Conceptually I understand what your saying about my frame rate vs. pan speed. Seems that 24p might exagerate that phenomenon. Technically, I don’t know exactly how to fix other than slowing the shot even more (which could make the shot too long in time length and become boring to watch). Is there an equation or rule of thumb about frame rate vs. pan speed or pan distance? Or any tricks to get around the problem?

Cory and Ted,

Thanks for the insight. I had no idea a calibrator even existed but I had experienced some scary color differences in my work on various monitors thus far.

As for the system needs it is great to get input from experienced professionals in the editing field instead of pestering my tech savy friends who, well meaning as they are, don’t know your field.

I anticipate posting more questions as I dive futher into this project. What a great Forum!

Best Regards,

Neil
