I have footage of a panning shot that looks pretty much OK in its native format, HD uncompressed.
I am converting it to MPG2, DVD.
The issue I have is that there is some serious judder introduced (motion artifacting) in the final MPG2.
Is there anyway of smoothing out that pan to make it eventually look good?
Is the MPEG-2 (I assume for DVD) the same frame rate as the original?
Are they both interlaced or progressive, or different from each other?
All things being equal, I'd say play with the bit rate of the encode. Also, place a Compression Marker on the frame before the pan happens.
Also, if you're seeing this on your computer, could just be a playback issue. Burn it to a disc and try it on a set top player and see if it still had motion artifacts.
Removing Judder from panning shots ... ?
