Jitter issue with the movement of the actors. I'm trying to fix this. My exporting from Media100 and FinalCutPro is horrendous. I have tried it all. Cinepak, DV Pro NTSC export on Highest Quality, etc. What am I doing wrong? Also, the bars should be coming in true Black and not grey (I had exported from FCP and put it into Media100 to add the titles at the end). Every Export in Final Cut looked worse that it did in that.

Is there any way possible to get a really nice and smooth non-jitter motion? Most of the film we're shooting and releasing online will be hand-held and it's hard to follow all of the jittering, etc.

Is it possible, my system and exporting aside, to get that smooth look? Production House export or Studio Export help (ie: going to a local indie studio and having them help import and export exact footage)?
 
ever think that it might be the format thats the problem? Try exporting as a high quality mp4 and see if it still does that.
 
it's hard for me to help without looking at all ur settings and footage metadata, but troubelshooting tips to look for.


1. make sure ur framerate is correct
2. make sure it's either progressive or interlace depending on what u shot.
3. run encoding tests, what i like to do is a put it out uncompressed and match everything else to the footage exactly. resolution, framerate, etc. then i start breaking it down from there. if it looks fine uncompressed, putting compression on shouldn't change anything.
4. jittery frame could be a pulldown issue, if u shot advanced make sure u've removed advance pulldown.

just from personal experience also, when i export out of fcp, i choose the option "export using quicktime conversion" rather then just making quicktime movie. it gives u much more control over all ur options, and i dunno why but for me at least it always comes out better.


there is also compressor, but unless ur used to it u can spend days finding the right encoding options for yourself. ppl don't like compressor generally, i happen to love it.

hope that helps.
 
I have the best results for online stuff capturing, editing, and exporting in uncompressed AVIs.
Then - I open it in Quicktime Pro and export as MOVIE TO IPOD.
It's not the highest quality in the world, but it translates well on many web hosts and will give you smooth movement.
 
There's definitely nothing that can happen in a properly-functioning DVX to produce that kind of jumpiness in the raw footage. This will have to have been an export issue.
 
I saw some interlacing artifacts in there. Export at a higher setting and it should go away. Match the export setting to what you shot.

Also, I like the look of that, what were your settings in the dvx scene file?
