Thanks.
I did re-post in the PPro forum and got a good answer. Output to MPEG2 30fps (29.97)
Results are good.

Thank you very much for responding and trying to help.
This is a clip’s properties, so yes, I shot at 1080 30p. I will also state that I had the shutter on at 1/60 sec.
Note: The YouTube link you provided was “broken”. I tried searching YouTube for “Danny Winn” and got a bunch of clips about Danny winn the No Credit Reports TV commercial actor.

YES! I did an export using your specs and it looks correct. No motion blur. It does have a little stutter but it is far superior to anything else I have tried.

Note: In my CS4 MPEG2 export presets there was none that was specifically (HDTV 1080 30p). I used MPEG2 720×480 FPS 30 Quality 4
I did a screen grab of the Adobe Media Encoder settings and posted it on Flikr here https://www.flickr.com/photos/rob_lager/4289994005/

I really, really appreciate your help. Is there anyway I could pay you to talk to me about more details. Like, I need to know how to convert this project to DVD. I also took the MPEGE2 file, put it on the project’s timeline and used it to output it to a YouTube preset, and it looks far better than exporting the original footage directly to this preset. Does this mean I need to convert my finished project to an MPEG2 file first, then start a new sequence to export for different uses?

Craig:
I have asked this question as a new topic, but as I have been digging through older similar topics I came upon this one where you state you normally shoot 1080 30p.

I am new to HD shooting and just finished my first shoot of a talking head. I decided to do some sample exports (I use PPro CS4). Every format I have exported to (H.264,QT. FLV/F4V,etc.) has very pronounced motion trails that are not there when I view the original footage. I have tried output settings of 29.97 and 30. Can you point me to some tutorials that will help me resolve this? I have been Googling all day and read a lot of posts, but no one seems to have any complaints about excessive motion trails on exports.
TIA, Rob
