VS10 - Choppy after rendering

Post by AndrewR »

I've just finished an 8min video with just panned, still images and music. Project plays well in VS10, but after rendering it is VERY choppy and jerky with no continuity in sound or movement (panning of image). I rendered using the DV (4:3) as it was recommended to me for good quality. I have played the created video file in both Real Player and Windows Media player getting the choppy results. I have about 20 GB of freespace. Not sure how much RAM I have but I think its either 512MB RAM or 1024MB RAM. No other apps are running during time of rendering.

Thanks for your suggestions.

OK - so you are producing a slideshow. But what is the objective with it? Are you intending to burn it to DVD?

If so, then there is no need to first render it to DV format. You have started with still images which presumably will be in JPEG or BMP format. They have nothing to do with DV format. DV format is high quality, yes, but it is high quality for digital video captured from a mini DV digital video camera -- not still images.

If you are aiming to produce a slideshow, then after compiling it, adding transitions, titles and background music etc, you should go to Share > Create Video File and render it to a DVD-compatible mpeg-2 format (not DV).

At this stage, moreover, you will have to choose the mpeg-2 properties for your slideshow. I personally, if it is only to be a slideshow, would use Frame Based instead of Upper or Lower Field First, though you might prefer to use the latter instead. But still photos are quintessentially not interlaced, so Frame Based to my mind works perfectly with them.

Thanks, Ken, for the prompt reply.

Tomorrow I will be showing the slideshow for a program. I will play the file on my laptop which will be connected to a projector. Frame-based is already selected so I will just try rendering in MPEG-2 and get back to you.
