Didn’t find an iPad 2, but maybe an iPad mini does the job just as well: https://tf3dm.com/3d-model/ipad-mini-63208.html

Found a solution to this problem. Well, more like a workaround… I figured the motion blur needs a movement in time for the comp to have motion blur. Let me try to explain my setup:

I’m working on a similar project as the OP. So I too have a precomp with all the pages in it with a length of just 1 frame for everything. In the actual comp I set everything via the time remapping keyframes and turned every single on of them into a hold key.

Apparently the motion blur only works, when there is at least SOME interpolation between the time remapping key frames. So I went back into my precomp with all my pages and gave every page a second frame. In the comp above I turned the “hold key frames” back to normal ones and put another keyframe at about 4 seconds later. So I have a first key frame of 00:00:12 and a second one four seconds later with a value of 00:00:13.

That did the trick for me.

Ran into the same problem today. Haven’t found a neat workaround yet

I would also love to know. 🙂

Does anyone know if Adobe is planing on implementing proper subtitles support for their products? I’m talking about ASS, SRT or SSA files.

I must add, that I don’t have to necessarily change the effect. I merely put the file in a PreComp (which has the effect in it) and render it out. The lighting situation is almost identical all the time.

Well,

I rendered it in both uncompressed .MOV and (close to) uncompressed (>30 MBits) .M2V to see if the problem remains. And it does, unfortunately.

I even imported some HDV footage (1440x1080i) shot with a crappy mini dv cam and got the same result: There are no jags on the skews in the raw footage when I watch it with both Quicktime and VLC, but as soon as I imported the file to Premiere there is this ugly aliasing.

At first I had the Premiere project preset for XDCAM but that doesn’t really matter much, I guess. Because I tried it without any preset as well, and it gave me the same result.

Currently I’m running Premiere 4.1, but I’m gonna update it to 4.2 now, to see if that problem remains. Oh, I’m on Mac OSX 10.5.8.

EDIT: Same problem with 4.2

I have to admit, I’m not too much into that settings stuff 🙁 When we got the camera I looked up some settings Philip Bloom suggested and defined them while checking out some other profiles I found on dvinfo.net until I found my settings suitable.

I shot the footage with 3300K, if I remember correctly. The lights we used were a couple of those Mettle Quarzlight 1000W with a softbox, which was similar to this one here: https://bilder.csn-24.biz/bild.php?ja=102870

The project I’m working in is a progressive one, of course.

—— HAHA ——

While I was writing this reply, I figured it was just Adobe Premiere, which shows the aliasing. I feel a bit embarassed now, I didn’t think about that earlier 🙁

I’m gonna render some of that footage uncompressed in 1080p to find out if these issues are just visible inside of Premiere or afterwards in an external player as well.

Cheers, and thanks for the help!

It’s for a website and will be converted down to 592*333 @ 800kbits.

Nobody will see these errors, of course. But on top of that I’m archiving all the vids to 1280*720p25 in 10Mbits (h264).

To be honest, it’s not really much of a problem to me, as no one will ever notice. It just started to bug me, because I couldn’t quite figure out what’s the problem behind it. Maybe it’s the camera itself and EVERY single one has the same problem?!?!?

Cheers, Stefan Sonnabend.
