Stuttering playback after export

Hi,
Sorry if such a question has been answered elsewhere but I have looked around for the past few hours and been unable to find an answer. However I am new to Adobe Premiere Pro (and video editing in general really) so perhaps I am missing something fundamental.
My basic problem is that I have created a video which plays fine in the Premiere preview (I have CS4) but after exporting it, the video becomes very stuttering and jerky. To be honest I'm a bit unsure of a lot of the technical terms etc but i'll try to provide all the info that may be of use.
I own a Sony HDR SR10E camera and so my orignal video files are shot (to my knowledge) in 1080i 1920x1080 25fps PAL AVCHD ... (I've probably repeated myself there or something). I am trying to put the video on youtube/vimeo and so have read to try to encode using the H.264 codec, at 1280x720, 25fps, trying to deinterlace it (didn't entirely understand what that meant but read that if you choose "None(Progressive)" under "Field Set" AME would automatically do it. I've tried a number of variations of the settings but every time after it has finished its very jerky etc.
I did try exporting it as a f4v file and the jerkiness had gone but i'm not sure if you can use this format to upload to youtube/vimeo etc, and anyway I don't understand why the h.264 codec is causing this problem when it all plays fine in premiere itself.
If any more info is needed, please say. I'm sorry if i'm making some massive error but although i've spent the last 8 hours trying to understand all the technological terms and sort it out myself I haven't been able to and any help is very much appreciated!

i have the exact same problem... i used all the same settings as I did in CS3 but the h.264 output is ALWAYS choppy. I even used the program "gspot" to make sure all the settings were EXACTLY the same, and they were... but anything output in cs4/adbone encoder comes out choppy. It's not a framerate issue, it's not a problem with the source files (projects in cs3 work just fine).
I am so frustrated at this, mainly because I can't open my CS4 files in CS3 and I *need* to encode in h.264. Output to other formats like WMV work fine, but unfortunately the place i upload my videos rejects the files i upload, even though they look OK on my computer.
very frustrating, I have no idea what to do. I've tried everything in project settings as well as encoder settings but the problem still exists. All my old movies, encoded in CS3, all playback flawlessly. Again, every single setting is the same, and I have applied the Premiere update, as well as the encoder update without any luck.

IMovie clips freezing/stuttering while editing in playback & after exporting to Quicktime

I've been working with iMovie since 2003 and if its not one thing, its always another. This particular problem is a new one, and I can't seem to find the get around. Any advice would be appreciated!
Working on a wedding video (large event size but only 6-8 minute project) and the clips are freezing/stuttering in the project and viewer windows when I try to play them back. Each time it freezes, I get the spinning wheel for 5-10 seconds before I can place my marker and try again. Endless cycle. This happened in a few other projects, but those I was able to edit out the freezing clips OR found that exporting to Quicktime seemed to smooth out the glitches, just made editing a pain.
Not this time. Even after exporting to Quicktime, there are still numerous glitches in my quicktime movies (using default and numerous other settings).
Here are the things I've tried: reinstalling my iLife 09 software, running all the updates, clearing off my hard drive (to give me 70+GB of space), detaching my external hard drive and only using internal memory, restarting, and deleting the plists. No luck, still have these glitches.
Could this be an issue with audio or using the stabilization option (used that for the first time)?

.. 90min movie .. share to iDVD .. iMovie would freeze and be unresponsive.. .exporting to QuickTime .. 13 hours .. random stills .. iMovie will freeze ..
Would putting all of the clips and the project on an external hard drive help? Would updating to OS 10.5.8 help exporting to QuickTime?
plus your profile, MacBook, indicates to me, your internal harddrive is full.
check with DiskUtility, how many partitions your internal drive has.
check, how much free disk space internal you offer your apps.
imho, extHDD is a MUST when editing video..
.. is there any way to move our already edited clips from iM09 to iM06?
use 'Export using Quicktime', choose dv-stream (for SD content) or AppleIntermediate (for HD content) - these are the only codecs, iMHD6 reads..
this export consolidate the project => it comes into iMHD6 as a single solid file, e.g. no more editing of titles, which are now 'burned into film'.
_consider to create a special 'transfer'-version of your project:_
in Project Browser, select project, ctrl-click, 'duplicate', and create a pre-production version (no titles, no music, additional material for further editing, longer clips to add transitions in iMHD6.. ect)

Stuttering Audio after .mov export

When exporting in Flash Professional to a Quicktime movie, no
matter what setting I use, the outcome is a movie with extreme
stuttering in the audio.
The video is imported to the library from an .flv created in
Adobe Premiere. The audio sounds fine when testing the flash within
the program, but not after exporting to the .mov format.
I have had no previous problem with this so I'm thinking
there's a setting off somewhere, and experimenting with the export
settings has yielded no results.
Anyone else encountering this?

Problem solved, though I have no clue how it was fixed. After getting fed up with trying to get rid of the stuttering I gave up, turned off my laptop and went to bed. Woke up this morning, booted up my laptop with the intent to downgrade to Vista and decided to give it one last try. It works now.

Premiere Elements 7 issues with slow playback, also after exporting

Everyone,
I recently bought Premiere Elements 7 and I am running it on a sufficient computer (Dual core 2.4Ghz, 4 gigs of ram, 8800GTX gfx card).
This all runs on Windows XP, but when I put the video files in Elements. Premiere just plays back slowly.
Everything seems to move in slow motion.
Also after exporting, the video is in slow motion.
The audio on the other hand works fine.
The video files are .MP4 coming from a Sanyo Xacti HD1000 camcorder.

Thanks for your reply Grisetti, the funny thing is actually I also tried to work with the files on an Octo core which also didn't work.
Nevertheless, because that after exporting, so basically rendering, it is also out of sync and playing in slow motion. This is weird because no matter how fast or slow the computer, after rendering it shouldn't matter in the result.
The files are not AVCHD, they are already stored as MP4 files directly on the memorycard of the camera, and can just be copied and pasted onto the computer using a card reader.

Choppy timeline playback after motion effects

I'm working in FCP 7.0.1, on a MacPro Quad-Core Intel Xeon 2.26 GHz processor, working with footage pulled off the trusty JVC GY-HM100U HD camera.
I've created an editing project that adopted the default footage codec settings (XDCAM EX 1080p24 (35 Mb/s VBR) ), and my issue is that whenever the sequence playhead passes over a "motion tab" effect in the timeline (i.e. traveling frames, cropped/zoomed footage), the playback thereafter hitches and stutters. Regardless of whether I set the RT to safe or unlimited, or the image quality to dynamic or low/med/high, I seem to get the same effect. Worse yet, if I click onto an entirely different sequence from another project, the stuttering playback occurs there as well. It seems that I need to quit and restart FCP if I want seamless playback after the playhead gets "infected" by a simple motion tab effect.
Just to note, there is nothing in the timeline that even needs rendering, and I've ruled out irregular window abutment and sizes that I've read elsewhere can interfere with playback.
I have more than enough processor firepower on my rig to push this footage around -- any ideas on what gives?

Premiere pro CC drop playback after update 7.2.1

Why premiere pro cc drop playback after update 7.2.1? I have a MacBook Pro late 2011 with ATI Radeon HD6770m 1GB. Premiere pro cc 7.1.0 run normal, ok, without crashing and drop-freeze frame, but after update 7.2.1 i have all this problems.

Just came on here to post about the buzzing transitions, glad to see it's been fixed already!
Another thing though I don't see mentioned, since moving to 7.2 I find audio playblack is out of sync while editing, and in some clips significantly more noticeably than others. This only happens during playback, if I pause and scrub manually, the audio is perfectly in sync. This actually messed up a project for a client. I thought the audio off the camera was out of sync in one segment so I bumped it a few frames before exporting. Didn't check it after of course and sent him the file, then got a reply back that it was out of sync in that spot. Check the exported video and sure enough, he was right. Check it again in project but it looks in sync. So I bump the audio back in the timeline so that it LOOKS out of sync again during playback, but the new exported video is perfectly in sync!
Editing a TV show now with hundreds of clips and it's maddening with some looking fine, some looking a little off, and some looking completely off and having to manually scrub to check and be sure along the way.
Hopefully this is also fixed in this update..will see tomorrow.

Secondary sounds done after export

sry for this kind of german english:
hi i never was thinkig that i get a bigger problem then my mother in law but here it is

(have adobe premiere elements 10 )

Martin,
Welcome to the forum.
For those supplemental Audio files (the ones not Exporting), what are their formats? Some users have had issues with MP3 files.
When you playback your Timeline, do you hear the Audio, from all Audio Tracks, properly?
When you playback your Timeline, with the Audio Mixer Panel open, do you see the meters behaving correctly?
Good luck, and please let us know a bit more,
Hunt

Lower 3rd (in Animation Codec mills +) is darker after exporting to QT?

Hello
My After Effects lower 3rd (Animation Codec mills +) is darker over video after exporting to QT movie? It only looks darker in the areas where the lower 3rds are layered over the video on the final exported QT. But, this doesn't show up in FCP; it looks perfect in the canvas during playback. So I'm not sure what's happening.
Any help would be lovely. Thanks.

Can anyone spot the error in what I'm doing? It's got to be something simple. I've created a time-lapse using these steps (I think) before, so I don't think there's a bug in the program anywhere. Any help appreciated.
Not exactly an error, but I do have a question. If you are sourcing JPEG images to an image sequence file which creates a QT Photo JPEG compression file which is already import/edit compatible with iMovie and currently plays in the QT 7 Player correctly without a "black screen" problem, why are you exporting the data to the AIC compression format instead of simply saving the Photo JPEG sequence file and importing it directly to iMovie?

Annoying problem after exporting to itunes

Hi all,
After exporting edited music files into itunes from garageband, there is a few seconds of silence at the end of each file. This is annoying to me because I like my music to change immediately after the last note has been played... Any ideas on how to fix this problem/limitation?
Please note, the files were originally MP3's that I ripped from my personal CD collection. I do not have crossfade playback enabled in itunes.
Thanks in advance,
rawbertow789
P.S. I searched the forums before posting this, but I could have missed something.

Oh, man. This is the greatest!
I have had a bunch of songs that have had front and back end silence or other crap that I wanted out and the way I did it was to export the whole thing to Itunes, then open that file in CD spin Doctor, create a track in that cutting the unwanted part(s), then re-save, then delete the original imported songs in Itunes....a very round about and time consuming way to do this.
I have seen this option, but to me it seemed like the only function was to just repeat the GB song over again. It never occured to me that you could select a "section" and export that.
This is terrific
Thanks.

Shaky Video after export

Hello. I've posted on this before, but havent quite found my answer.
I have video with some motion in it that looks shaky when I burn it to DVD. Someone suggested that I try adding the De-Interlace filter to correct it, but that doesnt seem to be it. I can watch the video from FCE on a TV going thru my camera and it looks fine (with or without the De-interlace filter). But when I export the video as a self contained movie, then pull it in to toast, and burn a DVD, the motion looks bad on the DVD. I also tried going thru iDVD, and there it looked even worse.
This problem is new to me. I've had video with motion before and didnt have this issue.
Any ideas????
Thanks!

I also read your earlier posts on this topic.
From your description I'd exclude de-interlacing and the field dominance problem: you detect these issues before burning if you Print to Video or playback through the firewire connection to a interlaced TV. And you did that.
So export might be the problem. Let me however suggest a test to check if the Export process from FCE or the burning process by Toast or iDVD is the issue.
After export you could try to open the exported .mov (with Export/QuickTime Movie !) using QT Pro, open the property window (cmd-J), select the video track, open the view settings (or something alike, I have the Italian version...) and check High Quality. Then in the main window if you go through the shaky part frame by frame (right arrow) you should see how each frame looks:
- If a frame has a comb effect (due to the fact that its 2 fields have different timing) that's not necessarily bad: what you see is interlacing, that should be correctly handled by the playback device (whether through firewire from FCE or when recorded on DVD).
- But if frames jump back and forth, then you might have a field dominance problem.
If interlacing or field dominance is a problem, however as I said above, you should see it also when you watch the movie connected to a TV.
To cross check, in FCE you can set the canvas window to 100% (no more e no less) and repeat the frame by frame test I suggest above in QT Pro: if the behaviour is the same the problem is in the use of Toast or iDVD, if they behave differently in FCE (better) and QT (worse), then Export is the culprit.
This doesn't solve your issue, but it might help in understand it.
I hope I did not confuse your ideas...

Audio gets out of sync after export and burn to iDVD - works in iMovie

I've burned my DVD show twice on iMovie and iDVD and the audio music tracks slowly get displaced over the course of the show (15 min) after exporting and burning to iDVD. It gets pushed back so that it starts later each new track...I've locked the audio to the playhead for each new audio track - however, there are some empty gaps between the tracks, does this have anything to do with the displacement? Or should it not matter since the tracks are locked?
I had it all synced up in the playback on iMovie and had it aligned with visuals, however, after burning, it gets displaced and everything gets off...
Any help would be appreciated, thank you
Chris

The solution:
Always use 16-bit/48kHz audio.

HDV sequence has green lines and pink dots after export

I digitized some HDV footage from a Sony HVR-VIU into Final cut Pro 7. Everything worked normally through the edit. After exporting the sequence as a quicktime movie, it played back fine as a quicktime. When I attempted to convert it to a media file in Sorenson Squeeze, the file showed up with green lines and pink dots over the picture. To test it differently, I dropped the file into IDVD. Same, result in playback. I've never seen anything like this before, any ideas?

Brad your article was extremely helpful in getting my sequence to work for a DVD. However, I've had success before using the same camera, format, etc., in making DVD's from an HDV sequence, and I'm curious as to what I did wrong this time. The most confusing part to me is that the original quicktime self-contained export played fine through quicktime, but got funky when placed into IDVD and Sorenson's Squeeze compressor. I must have done something wrong up front in digitizing or making settings in FCP, and I'd like to know what it was so I don't do it in the future. Thanks.

Jaggies on playback after capture. Noob needs help

I am shooting in 1080i with a Canon HV30 (the default mode).
When I capture with either 1080i(50i) or 1080i(60i) mode on Premiere, the playback is not smooth. Watching clips you can see jaggies at the edges of objects, especially if there is motion.
If I plug the camera directly into my TV, all is well - very clear video. What am I doing wrong?
I'm a total noob looking up at the learning curve right now. I just loaded CS3 on my machine yesterday.
Zach

I'd recommend first start by using only the correct capture settings, either PAL (50i) or ATSC (60i). Use whichever is correct for your footage.
Secondly, seeing those jaggies is probably normal when viewing in the program monitor. The real test will be after exporting to a Blu-ray disk and watching on your HDTV. How does it look there?

I can´t export any videos. All videos have only 2,3 Megabyte after export them. Can anybody Help?

After export a video, they have all only 2,3 MB. I had check the export settings but all is okay.
I use Final Cut Pro X 10.1.4
Can anybody help?

How long is your video?
Make sure you select "Original or Optimised" in Playback Preferences before you export.
When the window opens after you choose "Share", are you able to skim through most of the movie before you start the export? If you can't it suggests you have a "Range" selected. Make certain nothing is selected in the timeline before you export.
Lastly, be sure to select the Project in the browser before you export.

ITunes stuttering playback

After the big OS X Leopard update, iTunes started skipping or stuttering on playback. It does it often enough that the program is basically unusable. The skipping is NOT related to internet access by my mail program (Mailsmith) or web browsers. It is NOT an mp3 file corruption problem, since the stuttering occurs in different places with each replay of the same song. The songs are those loaded from my own CD's and played flawlessly before the software update. The usual rigamarole of trashing preferences and resetting PRAM has not changed anything.
I have noticed other people with the same problem posting on different boards. I assumed that the 7.6.1 update to iTunes would address this issue. No such luck.
I am at a loss. I have an almost new MacBook which worked flawlessly until the update. I am very disappointed with Apple that 1) this issue is not addressed, and 2) that it is impossible to contact anyone knowledgeable about how to attempt to fix this. As a legacy Mac user (first 128K Mac bought on 2/24/1984 and many, many Macs since, this is a new type of helpless feeling.
Help!

This is a widespread issue, search the boards for "stutter" .... there must several hundred people posting on these forums with the same issue.
I have my 300GB + iTunes library on an external WD My Book Pro (a 2TB version set up as a 1TB RAID mirror) connected via FW800. I solved my stuttering playback problem by transferring my library to another external FW800 drive with two Seagate 200GB drives configured as a RAID stripe.
Thats all I've found so far.....
