Q: jitter

hi

i tried so many things to remove jitter by applying filters de-interlace, frame blending, anti...etc but all in vein...Is there any other way to avoid this jitter problem....I usually use PNG for still movement...if another format is good for FCP which do not show any jitter then PLEASE LET ME KNOW. Normally AVID news cutter doesn't show any problem like this...we can do anything with still frame in AVID.

    Hi there

    personally when I use stills (mostly stills timelapse) I convert them to a video format that matches the requirements of your video footage and delivery(pro res or whatever). I do this in motion allowing me to pan and scan, resize or do moves, but there are other ways, key thing is taking them away from stills formats (jpeg etc) as in FCP you are obviously working with video formats.

    "still movement" ... now there's a contradictory term if I ever saw one!

     

    Seriously though, how you treat the jitter really depends on the cause of the jitter.  For example, if it's caused by too much fine detail in the image, try downsizing the image in Photoshop or other photo application.  If it's caused by thin vertical lines in the image, using the blur tool in Photoshop on the offending areas will often fix the problem.

    If you're moving stills around the frame, have you set your sequence to Field Dominance:None?

     

    If not, you'll be moving field by field, which can cause interlace jitters.
