Stuttering 'pan' ... wondering about 'fixes'?
Just mastered a 1 hr film for someone. There are a couple of long long pans in the film. When my clients hit those shots in playback (in both ProRes or H264 versions) there is some serious stuttering. Of course I've checked the shots and they play fine ... when run frame by frame: no missing frames, no added frames. I'm pretty sure it's related to the processing power of their video card / processor.
The shots also stutter on my almost new MacBook Pro - NVidea GeForce GT 750M
Is there any way there could be something erratic in the bitrate on those shots ... when I mastered them out? Something that might be ameliorated with another try at mastering? Just wondering. Always something to learn.
They are off to Brazil to be screening their film in diverse locations ... some of which require that they run the show from their MacBook Pro (about two years old I think). In which case I should be asking, if they might upgrade THEIR video card?
All ears,
Ben
