Pan & zoom image jittery on dvd playback/ 16:9 / transit

[Gordy]

Working with VS11 plus, just did a 3 min test run before I continue with the rest of the project, couple issues I had are:
1)I have couple images that are set to pan and zoom, on the dvd playback on TV, as they are zoomed in, the zooming is not smooth, couple spots it seems to jump or skip.
but on the project playback it is fine. Is this to do with the pan & zoom or dvd burning process errors.

2)I have the properties of the project set to 16:9 and when I added titles or images to the project, in the preview screen everything is within the white border box of the preview screen, but when I playback the DVD on the TV set to 16:9 sides of the image and titles are chopped off.
Is it possible to set the border on the preview screen properly?

3)There seems to be a transition which causes a problem with the rendering. I think it is in the F/X transition. when the rendering comes to one of these transitons it just quits and shuts down the program.
I deleted all of the F/X transiitons and then it worked fine.
Does anyone know exactly which transition it is that causes this problem?
I think this problem also existed with VS7, (still not fixed???)

any help would be appreciated.

thanks

For 1), make sure in preferences that the anti flicker is checked for images.

2) I'd have to look into that one, or someone else can help.

for 3), be sure the length of the transition is long enough for it to work, i.e., more than a second.. see if that helps..

I don't know if it is just a specific transition. There have been some posts about this, IIRC it also is tied to Smart Render. You can try rendering a small clip, with smart render turned off, using the transitions that you originally used.

Another possibility is the Anti-Flicker filter. Try disabling this. Go to the Preferences dialog (F6 keyboard or File menu>Preferences), on the Edit tab, it's the 2nd from the bottom. Untick that option if it is already ticked.

Edited, As 2dogs stated Anti-Flicker should be on, but just like Smart Render, it may be causing problems, just something to test.

Reference #2, in the burn module, preferences click on the Advance tab, and you can adjust the Title safe area there. The default is 10%. You might want to change your background color on the preview screen to something other than black. This will help you see the actual screen size of your video, so you will not place objects outside the safe area. With 16:9 there are parts (top and bottom) of the Preview screen (window) that are not used, but you can still see them when preparing your project.

Hi

Did you make a video file first (Share Create Video File) recommended.
Or simply went straight to the burner module, and rendered there.

If you create a video file you could play it on your pc to check the quality.

Then use in the burner ¡¥Add Video¡¦ option¡¦

Are you using Video Files or just Images for a slide show??????????

Done a quick search and this is the thread I'm thinking about. It refers to distortions when using smart render..

Just to add

When working with 16:9 not all the preview screen is used.
By changing the background colour you will identify the 16:9 frame

File Preferences-Background colour

Change back to black before you render

Thanks for all your inputs guys,

Just to answer couple questions:

Trevor:
a) I was making video file first and it crashed twice then I clued in cuz it seem to do it in the area where I had F/X transitions, I got rid of them and it worked fine. I will look into the length of the clip/transition as suggested.

b)I tried changing the background color from black to grey, but it does not work for me, the preview screen is still black, is there something else I should do. can it be changed into a project or do we have to set the color before we start a project?



Vidoman:
a)I am working with both video and images but the problem is noticed on images as they are zooming in, it is not a smooth zoom, it skips. As suggested I will try turning off anti flicker, it was set to on.

b)I am a little slow on the 16:9 issue, first of all changing the color to grey in the preferences does not change it in the preview screen.
Secondly, my project plays fine "well within" when playing it in the burn module. Sorry, but I dont quite understand what the safe area does in the burn module, I changed it from 10 to 25% didnt notice any change in size.
Is this only for previewing or does this effect the preview screen when I am actually working on my project.

Thanks
Gordy

Hi Gordy

Regarding widescreen:-

You can change the colour at any time and it will take effect.

If you have used a 16:9 video the frame will be filled and you will not see the background colour. The preview screen should have black bars top and bottom.(unused portions)
Start a new project, or view the timeline with no video in the top track.

You should see the 16:9 frame.

Read my guide to ¡¥widescreen 16:9¡¦ from the link below.


The safe area is only a preview / a guide as far as I know. Allows you to keep your ¡¥menu objects¡¦ ¡¥titles¡¦ on screen.

When viewed on TV, 10% to 15% may be lost around the edge of the screen (overscan)

This may be more noticeable with tightly cropped still images.

It was my DVD player causing this problem.
