Jpeg Fiasco!

[SplitVision]

i have a number of still photographs that i have layed down in FCP and used a cross dissolve to combine them together.

I then exported the sequence (using quicktime movie, current settings) and put it in DVD STUDIO PRO.

I burned a dvd, when i watch it there is a substantial "jerk" when the tranisitions occur, i also have found that substantial "noise" (horizontal interlacing stuff) has been introduced into some of the stills that have alot of black space in them.

does anyone know what this is?

is it from FCP?
exporting?
or DVD Studio pro?

please please help me out brothers!

It can be, you HAVE TO RENDER your timeline before exporting to quicktime.

exporting?
It might be, try export "USING COMPRESSOR", choose 60 min high quality, import your freshly compressed MPEG2 into DVDSPRo and burn your DVD

or DVD Studio pro?
It might be, instead of 'build and burn' just build your TS files, and then use another program to burn, such as Toast Titanium... It wont fail you.

This may not help, and I know I'm using completely different hardware and software. But I discovered a problem recently. When I'd export the timeline and then burn a DVD from the .AVI files, the resulting video would freeze at certain points.

It was very specific where it froze. It was always at a point where it hit a still -- either a title or a .BMP. What would happen is it would jump to the first frame of the next video clip and freeze on that for the duration of the title or still -- although the sound ran normally.

Now the weird part is this would only happen on a still that was immediately followed by a video clip. I could string a dozen titles together and it would run through them just fine -- until it got to the last one, which was followed by a video clip. Then it would do the 'jump and freeze'. It was weird.

I'm using Adobe Premiere, not FCP, so I don't know how much help this will be to you. But I did find the answer. In my project I had checked the option 'Optimize Stills'. When I unchecked that option, the problem disappeared.

So I don't know if this helps you or not, but thought I'd pass it along. Good luck!
