Jerky motion in titling

Hi,
After creating a title sequence with LiveType using the World Back (PAL) template and importing the finished sequence into FCE, the spinning world motion is jerky. It's the same on a second Mac.
Is this a known problem or can anyone suggest a workaround or a solution, please?
Many thanks,
TonyT

Hi(Bonjour)!
FCE HD is designed to produce mainly sequence to be viewed on TV monitor (interlaced image), your computer screen is a progessive one, so the "lines" are more obvious when you monitor on your screen computer.

  • How to keep Motion created titles looking sharp on final DVD?

    Hello again... I'm having trouble keeping my motion created titles looking sharp on the final DVDSP project. Im exporting a title sequence out of motion into fcp and then exporting the full project via compressor for burn in DVDSP. I'm familiar with the usual temporary quality loss of titles generated with FCP or Livetype while viewing them within the FCP, Compressor, or DVDSP preview, and understand that once they are compressed and viewed on the TV they look great, but for some reason i can't get my motion created titles to do the same.
    Out of Motion- i'm using the preset QT settings on the highest quality. Should i use a different setting out of Motion, perhaps an uncompressed QT or via compressor?

    Thanks- i'm trying that now. And by the way.... sorry about the misunderstanding. I am exporting out of motion onto my desktop, and then importing the project using FCP.

  • Jerky Motion of MP4 file

    Problem: Jerky Motion of MP4 file
    Adobe Production Suite CS4
    Windows XP Pro SP3
    I have the following composition:
    Composition: 1280x720 HDV/HDTV 720 29.97 square pixel
    Layer: 4288x2848 jpeg image
    Duration: 15 seconds
    I slowly rotate the image.
    In AE, it plays smoothly using the space bar.
    I render as
    Container:  MP4 file
    Codec: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC
    Size: 1280 x 720
    kbps: 6176
    Frames/s: 29.97
    GSpot says the created MP4 file looks like the following:
    Codec: avc1
    Name: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC
    Container: mp42: MP4 v2 [ISO 14496-14]; - mp41: MP4 v1 [ISO 14496-1:ch13]

    Size: 1280 x 720
    kbps: 6176
    Frames/s: 29.97
    Pics/s: 29.97
    I play the file in Adobe Media, QuickTime, and Real Players.
    The motion is very jerky.
    The time progression bar moves in stops and spurts.
    I created a new MP4 file with kbps: 13,000.
    It was also jerky.
    I created an AVI file, it plays smoothly.
    Any idea how to correct this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the feedback about why H264 is jerky on my computer.
    As you suggested,
    I used the FLV preset to create two FLV files.
    Codec: FLV4/VP62
    Name: Flash/On2 VP6
    kbps: 1699
    kbps: 5409
    Both files work much better than the H264 MP4 file.
    The kbps:1699 file is a bit jerky.
    The kbps:5409 file is more jerky.
    Since the files are on my hard drive, I am not sure why the kbps:5409 is jerkier since that is the rate DVDs play 720x480 movies at. I would expect the kbps:1699 to be of poorer quality because of the lower bandwith.
    Just so you know where I am heading. I want to place my 1280x720P HDV/HDTV 720 29.97 square pixel AE composition on Vimeo.
    Vimeo recommends "using the H.264 codec at size 1280×720, bit rate 3000-5000 kbits/sec (optimized for “download”), key frame every 30 frames (frame reordering on), using whatever frame rate you shot in. For sound, use AAC at 128kbps in stereo."
    By the way, there is a HD video on Vimeo called "FIA GT3 Video Battle" which GSpot says uses
    Codec: avc1
    Name: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC
    Size: 1280 x 720
    Frames/s: 23.976
    kbps: 1803
    I downloaded it to my hard drive. On my computer, it is a slightly jerky but not too bad. Why my video using the same settings is so much jerkier than this video is unclear. Of course, as you explained, I cannot expect a H.264 codec to keep up with my slower computer. It is also unclear if I should Set Key Frame Distance to 30.
    Is there a white paper or book that explains in detail the tradeoffs and recommendations for both HD web based and Blue Ray situations like this? Thanks again for your help.

  • Jerky Motion on TV

    Hi
    I'm shooting HDV on a Canon HV20. Exporting finished sequence as QuickTime movie using AIC works fine - plays perfectly full-screen on this Mac. Burning to DVD using iDVD for widescreen PAL playback produces very jerky motion and panning. Any ideas why this might be? Camera set on auto for all this material.

  • Motion 5 title: no audio in FCPX

    Hi
    I finished a Title in Motion 5, with audio. Everything works smoothly, including audio.
    However, when I save it and open it in FCPX the audio won't play. In the FCPX Inspector there's no audio tab.
    If I export the project as a movie, then the audio comes back and plays regularly.
    Any idea why the Motion 5 Title has no audio in FCPX?
    Thanks

    I'm not sure what Apple's rationale is, but having considered the possible variations that can arise, I can see why it's done this way.
    In FCPX, there's no guarantee that the effect will be exactly as it is created in Motion. And if used as an Effect, it could be any length of clip it's applied to without consideration.  How do you synch the audio, especially if it is not aligned with the starting frame of the project. Time-scaling?  Exact frame count offset?  And Apple hasn't built in a way to get in and adjust any audio that might have been applied to the project (but it would be nice if there was something akin to an "audio dropzone"...)

  • Gaming - jerky motion

    Jerky motion on my SRMB MacBook 2.0 Ghz 2GB no other applications running in dock
    It happens about every 45 seconds and has NOTHING to do with where I am in the game. It happens on most games, and at all screen resolution settings, whether I am on the Internet or not. Is there a process I can KILL to stop this? Or other simple fix? Otherwise, gaming is useless.
    Thanks for any assistance!

    I found the process in question by watching Activity Monitor while playing the game. Every time there's a 0.5 second pause in the screen updates, this process is active (about every 45 seconds). There are no other processes that activate during the graphics glitch. Every time this process activates, the graphics stop for a sec, so your player dies. Gaming is useless with this process running.
    The process is: Update
    Quitting it doesn't work. The OS just launches it again.
    According to this list, it's "responsible for keeping disks synchronized with the file system cache, to keep data loss to a minimum in case of a crash."

  • Jerky motion on contoured moves

    I have setup a countoured moves but when it reach the final point there is a fast jerky move forward and then backward that is not acceptable for my application. I'm using a 7344 and a 7356 (the same behaviour) motion controller and i have already tried to change pid and everything else. The only way to get a smooth movement is to return to the initial position (let's say 1000 steps forward and 1000 steps backward). In this case no jerky motion is done. But this is not acceptable for the application i'm developing. I have the latest firmware and sdk 6.1.3.
    I really need to solve this issue. Can Someone from NI help me?

  • Motion 5 Title wont open in FCPX

    Hi
    I have created a title in FCPX.  When i go to open it up in FCPX it is a blue screen and FCPX crashes - everytime.
    I did delete the title background in Motion for the title.  Will that make a difference?
    I am using Motion 5.0.5 (I think - it is the latest version) and FCPX 10.0.1 on a Macbook Pro 2011 model.
    ANy help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Amanda

    You should also follow the advice here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5550 before updating your FCPX and Motion apps.
    There were some fundamental changes introduced in FCPX 10.0.3/Motion 5.0.2 (Onscreen control stuff) and again in 10.0.6/5.0.5 (drop zone stuff).
    Newer versions of Motion 5 will create incompatible effects for older versions of Final Cut. (It would be helpful if Apple synchronized the subversion numbers of the two apps.)
    In most cases, you do not want to delete the Title Background in Motion when developing a title (or the Effect Source for effects, or the Transition A/B layers for transitions) as these "entities" represent the Storyline the user sees in FCPX. If you need to perform "special effects" on the Storyline content for the effect/title/transition, then you can do what you have to do to create the changes you want to appear in Final Cut.  In other words, whatever you do to the Title Background inside your Motion project is exactly what will happen to the content positioned "below the title" in FCPX.

  • Motion tracking titles in Premiere Pro CC 2014?

    I love the addition of motion tracking to effects in Premiere CC 2014 — but does anyone have a way of using them to track a clip (in my case a title)? I've got a promotional mini-doc I'm working on for a client, and have nice little animated titles popping up next to interview subjects (no lower thirds because there will be subtitles). I think pinning those to a visual element in the background would look great.
    I tried putting a garbage matte as an effect on the title, then turning on the tracking feature, and creating a box around the item I wanted the title to track to. No dice.
    Anyone have any suggestions, or do I need to go through third party software for this to work?

    Hi misidunai,
    Use the 3D Camera Tracker in After Effects. Check out this video tutorial.
    Thanks,

  • Final cut pro crashes when reading Motion 5 titles

    just made a personal version of the keynote title in FCPX and saved it. it appears in FCPX but it is obviously unable to read it and the title thumbnail appears as a single blue screen, if this is added to project FCPX fails miserably and crashes, yes a blue screen of death on a mac. how can i stop this or edit a title and save it correctly.
    this fella https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3704394?tstart=0 is having the same problem.
    -graeme

    i did the 'open a copy in motion' for the existing title in FCPX.
    when i have finished with the title in motion, i save it then go back to FCPX, the saved title is there but only as a blue thumbnail, if that is added to the FCPX project, FCPX cant read it correctly and crashes.
    hope that makes sense

  • AVCHD Import = Jerky Motion

    OK this is doing my head in, not least because it should be one of the most common and therefore simplest / most reliable workflows Apple should have ensured would work with iMovie.
    I have some m2ts files from a Panasonic HD camera. They are 1080i as that's all the camera will do, with an AC3 soundtrack.
    To get these into a format that iMovie can import, I'm remuxing with ffmpeg, copying the video untouched and converting the audio to alac so there's no loss of quality. The resulting files play perfectly in both VLC and crucially in Quicktime.
    However when I import into iMovie and they are converted to AIC the motion becomes jerky. Single-stepping frames you can see that iMovie has duplicated frames every half second or so which makes the resulting clip completely unusable.
    To see if the issue was caused by incorrect video/audio sync from the ffmpeg remux I tried a version with no audio at all ie just AVCHD video copied across, and the result is exactly the same. iMovie is destroying the video on import.
    So as it stands, iMovie is of no use to me and I have no way to edit movies on the Mac.
    Surely loads of people must have imported AVCHD into iMovie without this issue, so can someone tell me where I'm going wrong please, or is this really a serious bug in iMovie? I'm on the latest version BTW - (9.0.8 - 1778).

    Agree with your assessment of the issue Brad and no I haven't tried to convert to AIC but I agree that's the logical next step. Issue is the best way to do so, so that iMovie will not try and optimise further and thereby recompress a second time when rendering the movie. I notice from your original pitch about BlueXFree that I should be able to use that although I didn't see that option when I tried it.
    Maybe I'll be a bit more patient with your program and see if I can get it to do the conversion
    Will post back how that goes......
    ----- edit ------
    Yep - perfect thanks! Using BlueXFree to convert to AIC first, then doing a non-optimised import into iMovie results in a perfectly working clip. It's a bit of a pain in terms of workflow, but this is only for my existing stuff as iMovie imports correctly from the camera directly so in future I'll use camera archives rather than the camera's own software which is what created these m2ts files in the first place.
    Great catch Brad - much appreciated.

  • NTSC - PAL jerky motion

    Hi,
    I've converted some NTSC footage to PAL using compressor 2 and it looks great in FCP. But when I put it onto DVD and watch it back, any shots with excess motion i.e. pans etc, are very jerky, almost like they are missing frames!
    Are there any filters that will get rid of this jerkyness, or anything else I can do to improve the picture quality?
    Cheers

  • Motion Export - Title

    I would like to know when exporting a motion project as a quicktime movie does it automatically fill the background with black ? I made a motion title on a transparent layer (i think) but when importing it to FCP the background is black and not transparent. Is it possible to export just the title without the black ?

    2 conditions:
    -first, you need to make sure your background is set to transparent in Edit > Project Properties.
    -second, you need to export to a codec that supports an alpha channel, such as Animation, with the color depth set to millions+.
    But if you are importing into FCP, there's no reason to export anything at all. Just import the Motion project itself directly into Final Cut Pro, and as long as the background is set to transparent, it will be so in FCP.

  • Jerky motion

    Trying to view motion menus in iDVD 7 gives unusable jerky display. I never had any problem with iDVD 6. Does 7 require so much more ram to operate?

    You can always revert to iDVD6 if all else fails:

  • Jerky motion in iMovie '08

    Hi,
    Am making a short movie which consists mostly of photos but with some short videos intercut. I am also synching to a pre-recorded track. The whole movie plays perfectly until later in, about 2 minutes in, but then some photos play with a short jerk during a Ken Burns effect. All the photos from the begining have the Ken Burns but play without the jerkiness, it's just a few photos, and always the same ones.
    Any suggestions or ideas that may help this would be appreciated. Thanks,
    Joseph

    Hi
    No I don't know - but I figure.
    with some short videos intercut
    One very common origin to jerky/stuttering video is when video is recorded in one standard and the video or iDVD project is set in another.
    iMovie'08 and 09 can handle PAL 25fps and NTSC 29.97 (one must specify and keep to this) - If mixed material one need to use another program to convert so that same standard can be kept trough out the project.
    iMovie'11 can handle 24fps too.
    (most probably i50 and i60 too)
    So if video is recorded with a still dgital Camera (most of them can record video) the they usually records in 30fps. And if movie project is set to PAL 25fps jerkieness would be the result.
    I use JES_Deinterlacer to convert my 25fps to 29.97fps when making NTSC DVDs for US relatives.
    Yours Bengt W
