Ahaaaa! Knew there had to be a way. Hopefully the next time someone else can’t find a solution they’ll google this post.

Thanks for your help!! 😀

Hurrah!! Keyframe Interpolation was set to “Auto Bezier” which caused my problem.

Thank you so much for your help!!! 🙂

Thanks for your reply. Perhaps I failed to mention that I’ve compressed the final comp. Uncompressed footage would indeed cause the problems you mentioned.

“Media extender” is the European term for a TIVO-like device which is used for recording and playing video files. (AVI, MKV etc) They are, in general, very powerful and can play full HD material. As is the device I’m using. It’s perhaps even more powerful than the PC I’m using… which is playing the movie without these issues.

Like I mentioned earlier; I’ve created many movies for this particular device before. This is the first time I’m experiencing these sort of issues. I enterpreted them as some sort of error I’ve made in the animation or some kind of frame rate glitch. (Seeing how I’ve created much more demanding animations before without having these problems… and the rest of the animation runs smoothly.) It’s just the darn plane that won’t fly smoothly. *lol*

I give up. Maybe it’s a flaw in the monitor hooked up to the media extender. Or even a driver glitch connected to the graphics card in the media extender. Who knows?

Seeing how you guys haven’t thought of anything major I could have done wrong… I feel pretty confident that it’s the device that’s acting up and not the animation itself.

Thanks again for your replies! 🙂

Thanks for your reply!

The problem very well could be with the media extender. However, I don’t understand why that should be – since it’s playing other files I’ve created in the same way flawlessly.

Here are some more specs:
I’ve tried both 1024×576 and 1280×720 (makes no difference)
The animation is rendered with render settings: best settings and Output module: lossless.
Finally I’ve tried to compress it with a bunch of different codecs that ususally work for me, like DivX, XVid etc. These too make no difference whichever I choose.

This is why I only included the info about frame rate, since it’s the only factor I’ve tweaked so far that’s made any noticable difference.

Thanks again for your reply.
