Jerky video within CS 5.02

I had this issue within the original CS5. Video seems to drop a frame every 2 or 3 seconds, both on older Premiere projects and on new one. Source is HDV and this issue occurs both with MPEG captures from my Canon XH-A1 and with earlier clips captured using the Cineform codec. The computer in question Is a 2.6 GHz Opteron dual 6 core (12 cores total), 8 GB RAM, Win 7 64. Nvidia GTX-470 with the latest driver (258.96). Latest patches from Adobe, Nvidia, and Cineform are running. The drives in question are Western Digital Caviar Blacks, 1.5 TB, 7200 RPM. No appreciable file space used.
Any ideas what could be causing the choppy video? Note, the same captured files copied over and played back on my old computer (dual 3 GHz Opteron, 8 GB RAM, and CS2 with XP 32) play back fine.

CURED IT !!!
Hello all, My conclusion from the help I got from this post was that I needed a better video card and possibly more ram, whilst this is still true I found that windows 7 (and possibly Vista) Areo system uses a lot GPU resources and needs to be switched off. You do this by right clicking on your desktop, then personalize,then scroll down and choose Windows basic or Windows classic theme, this has completely cured it for me (moderators take note). When I get a better Video card I will report back.It would be nice to here from others this has helped.

Windows 7 x64 - Encode h.264 results in jerky video in WMP 12

Windows 7 x64 - Encode h.264 results in jerky video in Windows Media Player (WMP) 12
System: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 EN, Adobe Master Collection CS 4 Win En
Please download the sample file here:
http://www.tsxn.com/storage/transfer/Serenity.zip
Source:
H.264 HDTV Testvideos
Profile: 1280x720 fps 30, square pixel, progressive
Destination:
For Testing purpose, just converting the original within Adobe Media Encoder.
Profile: same as Source
1) The original source files play fine using any player, so the hardware of my test systems (3 computers) is ok
2) When exporting the Video to H.264 the resulting video is jerky in Windows Media Player and Quicktime
3) When converting the jerky result video again, but now into WMV, it plays fine
The problem can be reproduced on all 3 machines.
It seems to me that Windows Media Player and Quicktime enforce their own h.264 decoder which has problems playing Premiere Exports.
These Players seem to play the file properly:
- VLC Media Player
- Media Player Classic Home Cinema
- Adobe media player
So how can one be sure that the Premiere h.264 exports are just fine and the only problem is on decoder side? However, I feel very uncomfortable not being able to play the h.264 files within Windows Media Player 12, which has uses the built-ind Windows 7 h.264 decoder.
Any help is highly appreciated!
Thank you
Chris

Hello Harm,
let me add my comment of another discussion:
My concerns are about a)distribution and general b)compatibility.
a) When videos are distributed most of the users will probably try to open the files with Windows Media Player. So it is not a good start to have fresh exported h.264 videos which won't run fine with the 'main' player on windows
b) I am wondering if the Problems with Windows Media Player may also be a sign of a general compatibility issue of the h.264 video itself
At least in case b) Adobe would have to look into this.
And in general there maybe a bug in the MS h.264 decoder.
Thank you
Chris

My iMac os 10.7.4 Lion purchased 2/12 has jerky videos. I've tried watching you tube and other videos with Safari and Google Chrome and sometimes they don;t jerk but most of the time the spinning globe appears and the video stops for a few seconds. Help

my iMac os lion 10.7.4 has jerky videos. I've tried YouTube videos with Safari and Google Chrome and the spinning globe appears and the video stops for a few seconds. I can't watch the white house weeklky address because it stops and starts every few seconds. The software is up to date. Just bought this thing in February 2012. Can anyone help me?

Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine. Might also apply to new machines w/o AppleCare.

IOS 6: Upgraded 4s to the new OS and now videos within apps like Pulse and Safari have no sound. Checked notifications and options, restarted phone, still no go...

I upgraded to iOS6 last week, and everything seems to be working well, except for audio playback within certain apps. I was wondering if this is in any way linked to the removal of youTube from the standard software. Within my news apps and Safari, I have absolutely no audio playback on videos. I have refreshed the 4S, restarted, and checked notifications, but no progress has been made. However, the sound is just fine elsewhere, including the youTube app, which I downloaded to troubleshoot. As of right now, if I search for a video within Safari, and it links to an embedded video, I get no sound whatsoever. If I pull up the same video within the youTube app, the sound plays just fine. Any ideas?

How can I create multiple versions of a video within the same project?

OK...this is a probably a very basic question but I'm not sure how to word it clearly.
How can I create multiple versions of a video within the same project? What I mean is that I have a bout 50 minutes of video and I want to make two DVDs using different clips from this original 50 minutes of footage. It would be a real pain to have to re-import the video AGAIN for the second DVD. I suppose I could drop anything I don't want to burn to DVD back into the clips pane but that would wipe out all my transitions wouldn't it? I want to save each project in their “raw” form so I can burn additional DVDs later otherwise I would just do them one at a time and not care about one of them being destroyed.
Wow...that was a mess. Does anyone understand what the heck I’m asking? I hope so.

How can I create multiple versions of a video within the same project?
You can't. You make separate projects using the same or different clips, segments, transitions, titles, etc. You can even duplicate the first project and then modify/make the desired changes in the duplicated project. Each project can then be burned as a different DVD or as different titles on the same DVD if there is enough room.

Itunes 7.0.1 still has major problems with jerky video

I thought the newest update to Itunes 7 would fix my problems with jerky video that have begun since this Itunes 7 came out. At first I thought maybe my computer was too old (powerbook 12" 1.5 Ghz, with maxed out RAM) to play the new resolution, but then I realized that even my old TV shows had jerky playback. It doesn't seem to matter what size. The audio works fine, but the video freezes every few seconds. This is not really acceptable and I'm thinking about uninstalling Itunes 7 until apple issues a fix that address this video playback issue. Anyone have any suggestions or heard anything? Thanks!

I located the problem of the jerky (1 to 2 frames per second) video that started after updating to iTunes7 and 7.0.1!
Dragging (copying) the file "ATIRadeon9700GLDriver.bundle" from system/library/extensions/ to the desktop and deleting it from the extensions folder (or else simply deleting it and then dragging it from the trash to the desktop) returns normal smooth video to non-H.264 mpeg video on my second generation iMac (ATI Radeon 9600). Unfortunately, this also makes Coverflow stop working with the message "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer". I'm not sure what else will be disabled by moving this file.
Obviously, this is not a solution, or even a feasible workaround. Where can I get a "good" ATI driver? I went to the ATI site "https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&fold erID=27" and tried installing "macosx-ati-displays-4-5-7.dmg", but to no avail.

Jerky Video Problem. Audio OK

Win XP Pro 32 SP3 2 GB RAM Firefox 20.0.1 FlashPlayer 11.7.700.169
I have jerky video. One short still image after another. Audio is OK
How can I fix it. Tried reloading Firefox. Reloaded FlashPlayer Increased cache size. Same problem remains
Thank you for any help

Let's change the topic a little. The reason I'm using this impossible-to-navigate Win 8 computer is that my own Win 7 computer went belly up in terms of playing anything at all. a couple of weeks ago. Before that, no problem. It was a sudden change, and I don't visit questionable web sites. HP fiddled with the Dr Beats because I was trying to get stereo separation (a MUST have) which they were not ableto do, but I typed in some IP somewhere they told me to. Or it might be one of the Windows/HP automatic downloads that install whether I want them to or not. Facebook will not load in any reasonable time (many minutes to register that I clicked on something.) I got it to play these same videos by uninstalling Flash and downloading Chrome, but it literally takes ten minutes to load a two minute video, and after a few in a row it also displays a black screen requiring a reboot. It appears to be a DNS problem but I have zero idea on how to fix that. The computer is still in warrenty but I have found little help from HP, who with every problem I've had want me to send it back and do without it for three weeks, which is impossible. That computer is also a Pavilion, dv6, windows 7 home premium (which at least is useable, unlike W8,) product number B6S13UA#ABA. If I can fix that problem I won't have to go buy a Mac tomorrow.

How do I fix the herky jerky video?

I am running a Dell Optiplex 320 with pentium D. 3.0 GHz, 2MB ram, with NVIDIA 512 MB video card. How do I fix the herky jerky video?

You have a slow internet connection to the server supplying the movie trailer or there is congestion in the path to the server. The signal strenght to your WiFi network has nothing to do with this.
It's as simple as that.

Can't put video within template,

Hi,
I am using Dreamweaver CS3. Is there a way to insert a flash
video within a page linked to a template? I always get the error
"making this change would require changing code that is locked by a
template or a translator". I tried unlinking, inserting the video,
then relinking but I get two regions that are not associated with
the template and so ruin the layout once saved. I need all pages to
be linked to the template as the navigational links are constantly
changing/updating - these need to be consistent with every page.
What can I do?!
THanks,
Steve

When you insert Flash video with Flash detection and
prompting, DW wants to
put this into the body tag -
onLoad="MM_CheckFlashVersion('7,0,0,0','Content on this page
requires a
newer version of Adobe Flash Player. Do you want to download
it now?');"
e.g.,
<body onLoad="MM_CheckFlashVersion('7,0,0,0','Content on
this page requires
a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. Do you want to
download it now?');">
Let's assume that you have a child page with the video
already inserted
WITHOUT Flash detection.
What you would need to do would be to create a DUMMY page,
(FILE | New >
Basic HTML), and insert the video on that page, then copy and
paste from
that page into your template child page.
First, copy and paste the Flash detection script -
change this -
</head>
to this -
<script type="text/javascript">
function MM_CheckFlashVersion(reqVerStr,msg){
with(navigator){
var isIE = (appVersion.indexOf("MSIE") != -1 &&
userAgent.indexOf("Opera") == -1);
var isWin = (appVersion.toLowerCase().indexOf("win") != -1);
if (!isIE || !isWin){
var flashVer = -1;
if (plugins && plugins.length > 0){
var desc = plugins["Shockwave Flash"] ? plugins["Shockwave
Flash"].description : "";
desc = plugins["Shockwave Flash 2.0"] ? plugins["Shockwave
Flash
2.0"].description : desc;
if (desc == "") flashVer = -1;
else{
var descArr = desc.split(" ");
var tempArrMajor = descArr[2].split(".");
var verMajor = tempArrMajor[0];
var tempArrMinor = (descArr[3] != "") ?
descArr[3].split("r") :
descArr[4].split("r");
var verMinor = (tempArrMinor[1] > 0) ? tempArrMinor[1] :
0;
flashVer = parseFloat(verMajor + "." + verMinor);
// WebTV has Flash Player 4 or lower -- too low for video
else if (userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("webtv") != -1)
flashVer =
4.0;
var verArr = reqVerStr.split(",");
var reqVer = parseFloat(verArr[0] + "." + verArr[2]);
if (flashVer < reqVer){
if (confirm(msg))
window.location =
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash";
</script>
</head>
Then, assuming you have no other events in the child page's
body tag, change
this -
</head>
to this -
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
</head>
and you should be all set.
(by the way, my example is set to check for version 7)

Jerky Video and Display Driver Error

We use CS3 at our production house. My editor has told me he is now getting jerky videos and the following error. This pops up in a yellow triangle at the bottom of the screen which when I click on it, an Events Window is opened.
Error: "Desktop Display Mode has been reset because the video card returned an error. Please reset the Desktop Display Mode in the Playback Settings dialog as this may impact your playback performance."
The computer is a Sony Vaio with 1GB RAM, P4 w/HT, RAID5 of SCSI drives, and ATI Radeon 1600 Pro. We are running Windows XP Pro and Premiere Pro CS3. Supposedly the video just started being jerky the last month or two. Windows update issue? I have tried updating the video card drivers (released March 2009) and also changed the Desktop Display to all three options ... Comptable, Standard and GPU. The video still plays back and exports to tape jerky. However, if we export to an AVI on the local disk, then pull that video back into an older version of Premiere Pro we can export to tape.
Any thoughts!?!?! I have found similar qusetions in other forums, but it seems like no one has an answer.

It is very common for OS updates to render display drivers obsolete, and most people do not even know that these are installed. If you have tried the most recent driver (replaceing an older one), and not helped, it might be something else.
The aspect of the video Exporting poorly, leads me to believe that your system might be underpowered, especially in the I/O sub-system. A slow, fragmented, or full HDD can do the same. That would NOT address the warning message, though. That almost has to be a vid-card, or driver issue.
Also, if your Assets have to be decoded by PrPro, that will tax the system. If you Export as DV-AVI, then the CPU does not need to work overtime on the conversion.
Please give a complete description of the Assest, especially their CODEC's. Please give a system breakdown, paying special attention to the I/O sub-system (HDD's specs. and all configuration details).
Good luck,
Hunt

FCE Jerky Video

I've been using FCE for 3 years on the same OS and I just started having a problem with "jerky" video prior to export. I'm using Canon GL2, G5, OSX 10.2.7. Suddenly I'm seeing "jerky" video while viewing playback on both TV monitor and the viewer screen.
I've read most of the discussion topics regarding "jerky" video and nothing has helped.
My FCE is version 1.0.1. Anyone got the anwser I looking for????

Not flickering. It's like a moving window or a bounce in the video. Kinda like someone bumped my tripod - However, it does the same thing with photos.

Jerky video when uncompressed

Ok... I'm going to be a bit long winded here so everyone knows the situation exactly.
I use a FCP box at work editting local news promos. I work in DV.... haven't had any problems...
My boss was nice enough to buy me a new system so I can work uncompressed and such. Here is the run down of what I have....
4x2.5 GHz PowerPC G5
MacOSX 10.4.6
4.5 GB DDR2 SDRAM
Final Cut Pro version 5.0.4
AJA Kona LH
Sequence Preset: AJA Kona LH: 525 29.97 10bit
Capture Preset: AJA Kona LH: 525 29.97 10bit
Device Control Preset: AJA Kona LH NTSC Sony VTR
Video Playback: AJA Kona 525i29.97 10bit (720x486)
Audio Playback: AJA Kona
Deck: Sony DNW-A75 Betacam SX
Storage: Apple XServe Raid with 1Terabyte over 4 drives.
Video comes from the deck to the AJA Kona through an SDI line.
I do not know much of how the Raid is setup since some dude came and did it for us.... it doesnt work like I had intended it to.
We have the FCP running DV quality, an After Effects box, and the Uncompressed quad FCP all three hooked up to it.
My idea had been that this way all three could access the same information. However, when the guy set it up for us... he said he partitioned it four ways. Each computer gets one partition with the uncompressed FCP box getting a second. From any of those boxes I cannot access the other box's partitions... clearly this defeats the purpose of the system....
Anyway, I have found that when I digitize video on my new uncompressed system.... after about 15 seconds it starts to get jerky. The video will freeze while the audio continues to play. Usually it will do this for maybe 15 frames and then play again for maybe 8 then do it again a couple of times. It also reports timecode breaks repeatedly when I know for a fact there are no breaks on the tape.
To trouble shoot this I changed my capture setting to 8 bit uncompressed. The problem persisted. However, when I changed it over to DV compression, the problem went away and there were no timecode breaks.
If anyone has suggestions I would greatly appreciate them and I might bake you brownies. haha!
If you want my 100% speculative guess... I think that perhaps when dude partitioned the Raid, he gave each computer a single drive on the array. This way the information being written is no longer being split four ways for faster read and write times but is simply being written by one drive, the drive can't keep up with the uncompressed video and thus I get lag. However, seeing as I didn't set that up, I don't know if that is the case or if that is even possible. I don't have much experience at the hardware end of things!
Help me!!

Okay Patrick, here's the latest in my jerky video saga...
I ran the test with these settings:
Test: Disk Read/Write
Disk: Host1Media1 (XServe Partition)
File Size: 4.0 GB
Frame Size: 720x486 10-bit
File System Cache: Disabled
Simultaneous KNOA DMA: On (I'm not sure what this is but I clicked it)
The average write speed was about 100MB/second
The average read speed was about 110MB/second
I noticed though that at frame 385 it was writing 192.2MB/s and then for frame 386 it dropped to 0.4MB/s, frame 387 was 1.8MB/s and then 388 was back to 120.0MB/s. This occured again around frame 3400.
I asked the IT guy here at work and he said that sort of behavior is normal for a drive system and shouldn't cause this problem.
I also tried some more experiments today. I tried setting my capture scratch to the internal media drive and had no problems digitizing 10bit uncompressed. The problem seems to only be with the XServe. We called the guy who installed it for us and he said to reboot it and if that didnt work to reformat the drives. Basically, I have no faith in the guy. When he installed the thing he didn't seem to have a clue what he was doing. Go figure.
Anyway, based on what I've seen I've come to the conclusion that the problem is not with the KONA card (it plays the video fine, its just when we digitize), FCP, or the computer but is instead with the XServe.
I don't have much experience with this stuff but, it all seems to point in that direction to me.
I'm not an idiot am I? The XServe is meant to be used for this sort of thing, right? I hope we didn't just buy the wrong thing alltogether as well, that would suck just a bit! :/
Once again, any more suggestions would rock as I'm at a loss as to what would cause this. Perhaps I should post in the XServe forum?
Kip
btw, I've tried to supply as much info as possible whenever possible, seeing as I've read so often comments such as "what version are you using? What deck? ****, what computer?!" If anything pertinent is missing please let me know!

Jerky video with N70

Hi,
Just wanted to ask if I'm the only person that is encountering this problem.
Whenever I try capturing a video... The video is jerky but after saving it... It plays fine when I view it.
My friend has the same unit as well as the firmware 5.0616.2.0.3
24-04-06
RM-84
yet when I tried to use his phone it captured fine unlike mine.
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity"
Previous phones:5110,3210,6210,5210,7650,6600,3660,7610
Current phones: N70 5.616.2.0.3, Motorola SLVR L7, Motorola V3Maxx

Hello,
I too have this problem with jerky video but mine seems much worse. I tried to switch to the phone memory instead of the card but that just makes things much worse! I have transfered my videos to a computer and it is not just playback on the phone that's jerky so it must be during recording that there's a serious bugg.
I contacted Nokia support about this and asked is there was a update coming but they just replied that I should hand it in to a service place, so I did. After two weeks without my (only) phone, I got it back and all they had done was format and reinstall the same software version. Hurray for Nokia! I remember the tv-ads they ran, depicting the N70 as a kickass video recording phone. Ok ok that's enought complaining... Does anyone have any suggestions? Nokia sure doesn't have a clue.

Jerky Video for isolated user

Hello,
I recently launched a Flash website that has video tutorials
synchronized with Flash animations. Overall the site is functioning
well, but I have an isolated instance of user having very jerky
video with the audio occasionally cutting out.
His connection speed is fine (3572.7 Kbps). When I asked him
for details he said the video was jerky from the start, and 'the
video cycled from smooth to jerky once every half to a whole
second.' He is using Flash player WIN 9.0.28.0, on win XP with all
updates. When asked he did not provide the browser version.
Here is a link to the site:
http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Investing/StockInvestingTrading/Technical_Analysis.as px
It's set up using net connection and net stream for flvs
hosted on a media server. The flvs have cuepoints to trigger the
animations. When a given flv is finished downloading the next flv
in the list is then preloaded. The buffer time is set to 6 seconds.
I haven't been able to recreate the problem. The feedback
that we've gotten suggests that the site runs fine. If anyone has
trouble viewing this please let me know and please provide details.
Thanks in advance for any help!

avi is a very antique media-wrapper.. no idea, if any Windows system is able to playback h264.avi ..
Plan A)
choose an older codec, such as h263, mpeg4, ...
Plan B)
choose a younger wrapper: h264.mp4 is THE universal combo on my behalf .....
Plan C)
use a proprietary codec, wmv, you have to purchase a license from Microsoft/flip4mac to create such on a MacOS system...

Jerky video when window has focus

I am new to the Mac world and everything is good except for jerky video playback.
When watching video I find that if the window playing the video has focus then the video is jerky but if another window has focus the video playback in the window with the video is smooth. This is certainly the case for watching Youtube (safari or firefox) and iTunes video clips.
Do others have this problem

I tried what you are describing and observed no fuzziness of the video. I had two applications open at the time and switched from one to the other. It just might be the video.
