Hi Ceri,

I can say that every video I make has a JERKY appearance during any Transition when I preview it using the PD8 previewer.

After I Produce it as a Video and play it back I don't see any of the jerky transistions anymore.

I suspect that my video card is lacking in performance.

This has been reported a few times. I had the problem, but it went away when I upgraded my graphics card. I'm not really sure what causes it. Do you use an onboard graphics port by chance?

MikeB, this issue is something different and unfortunately is in the final produced video. __________________________________

Hi, thanks for your replies. I don't think it is a problem with the graphics card as we have 2x 8800 GTS SLI'd.

Which should be fine for what we are doing.

The video is a bit jerky during preview but this is not what I have a problem with. When it is completely rendered and burnt on the DVD the video still jerks on scene transition.


Any other ideas?

Thanks

Ceri

Hi Ceri,
Please can you attach a diagnostic file of your set up and state what build of PD8 you're using?

I had a simular issue to the OP. My video card is also top notch (GTS) and I have a quad core system.
I found that when I use the fade transition with a interval of 1 second or less, I will get a flicker or jerk on the
final rendered dvd. But, when I extend the fade transition to 2 seconds, I no longer have the issue. Land of fieros, North Dakota USA

Hi, that sounds promising, as all my transitions are 1 second long on the fade.

I'll try it over the weekend and let you know. Thanks Ceri

The problem was solved on the render by unchecking the smart video rendering (SVRT) option. We still had jumps if you combine a fade with a stabilisation.

We have solved the problem with the video jumping or freezing on scene transitions, when you view the resulting mpeg file from the render it is fine.
But when we create the disk and burn the video, the video that is burnt to the dvd has problems. Any ideas??
