Q: Stuttering video in scenes, where camera was moved

Post by martinweihrauch »

Hi!

I have downloaded the test version of MF5 and think about buying it. However, I have the following problem:

I captured videos from a mini-dv camera, put them together in MF5 and burnt them on a DVD. In some movies, the video "stutters", especially in scenes, in which a lot of movement is going on (camera swerves - camera moved from left to right/right to left). This is on TV as well as on computer. Still images and slow zooming is not a problem, the video does not stutter.

The original videos (AVI) on the hard drive are fine. I also tried this with a test version of videostudio 10, but had the same results. I guess, it may have something to do with the half images (upper first, etc)??? I could not find this problem in any of the recent posts - sorry if I double-posted.

Please help (or else I will have to buy Pinnacle) :lol

This sounds like a Field Order problem.
Generally anything captured via an IEEE1394 (Firewire) connection is Lower Field first. (Digital)
Anything captured by Analogue Capture devices such as TV cards - use Upper Field first.

I see you have a trial version of VideoStudio 10.
Try opening your file with VS10 and then creating a creating a file (With share - create video) and render with the correct Field Order.

No need to do the whole video - just do this to a portion of it to see if it works, if it does then you can do the whole video.

In my younger days I once had the field order the wrong way round and reversing it in the above manner worked for me.
