Hi Dave
Thanks for trying anyway. The web is littered with people asking this same question about jitter, judder, jerky movement for horizontal pans on still images. I don’t understand why there isn’t a tutorial that says – to get smooth pans this is what you do!! Also the answers are always different eg try upping the frame rate or add motion blur, try frame blending, try directional blur.
I’m beginning to think that the real answer lies in the average computer these days. It just can’t keep up with shuffling the whole picture (1280 x 720) 25 times a second. OK, if you’ve got 12GB of RAM, two drives and the latest graphics card – you maybe OK. But what’s the point of generating a video for the web that only looks good on a machine like that – Joe Average won’t see it smooth.

Hi Dave
If I put the viewing window to 50% and the resolution to half – it looks a lot better in RAM preview and plays in real time. Where do I go from here?
Cheers

Thanks. I can see it in the RAM preview too!

It depends – I’ve rendered it so many times with different options. For my latest it’s a 10Mb file with a data rate of 13mbits/s. I’ve tried putting the format slider for QT export in all positions from low to high quality – it makes no difference. Any help appreciated!!
