High resolution images do not play correctly

[panagrap]

Good afternoon, when i import high res images 10Mp, and i add motion with the layouter, the movement is very jittering. i though it was only on the preview, but when i print to file the motion remain jittering.
the problem was solved when i lowered the resolution from Photoshop.
does anybody know if this is normal?
thanks

what is your project setting?

if SD, any large still animated will look terrible

in such a case, you could use Imaginate2

If your Project is "Progressive" any movement using Layouter will be jittery, that is the nature of progressive
For a smooth movement change to "Interlaced" with the correct field order
DVD and Bluray is always upper field first

Not true Barry.... We use layouter with pan and zoom in 25p projects without issue on stills. We also shoot and edit large amounts of 25p and 24p footage without issues. Destination web desktop and cinema.

Correct for all three, but how about bluray on a TV unless set to higher refresh rate?
Cinema has higher refresh rate the same as film showing each frame upto 7 times to fool the eye.

A 24p movie on Blu-ray looks just fine if the TV has true 24p playback normally cinema mode or the like. I am not talking 200Hz or higher with motion smoothing etc which simply makes the movie look like video.

Anton, My project is 720x576 50i.
By the way, i used Imaginate and it;s really cool.

yes, the layouter is only usefull for animating large res stills when the project setting is HD

for SD, Imaginate2 is the only choice

I don't understand, high rez pict manipulate in Layout tool is butter smooth for me in HD or SD timeline.

place a 16 megapixel still with detail in SD interlaced timeline and then do a slow move with the layouter, then play the timeline

then vomit

This is 21 megapixel still on SD 720X480 59.91 timeline upper field, encode at 2000kbps

Let it buffered before you play or it might stutter from internet connection or if you like I can send you the mp4 file, it is very smooth for me.

[antonsvideo]

that is a progressive file with strange width and height and 750 bitrate

can you upload a DV avi of the same section to a file sharing provider

you need to view this via GV hardware connected to TV, I bet you will vomit

PC screens with progressive settings hide the problem

I don't normally load SD video on Vimeo so I don't know what they are doing to it, I just did that to show you that they are smooth in SD, but when I made DVD and watch it on a either tube tv or progressive tv they all come out smooth, never had any problem, I use Hand Brake to encode to mp4 and so I made a uncompressed avi so it can see it, didn't use dv avi. I would be the first to say something if it would look that bad.

[antonsvideo]

I don't use DV either

all I am saying is that if I do a high res still animation with the layouter in a 1920x1080 50i project, the result looks great

if I then switch that project to SD 720x576 16:9, the result looks so bad you need to close your eyes

the reason for switching to SD is to get the benefit of Lanczos3 which is not available if you export direct from HD timeline to SD file
