    Action shots problems

    Soula-55 Community Member
      I was given DV-avi file. The final product will be viewed on computer monitors and also on TV sets.
      This avi file plays fine when viewed on my computer. To finalize the project, I used automatic transcoding, and I created a folder and also an image.

      When I view the image with VLC media player, whenever there is fast panning or a lot of movement, I can detect some annoying horizontal lines, jiggling slightly right and left. Whenever there is no fast movement, which is most of the time, it is perfect. The problem is with these few areas.
      On the other hand, when I view the files in the folder with PowerDVD, it is not as bad.

      My question is: is it better to remedy this problem in Premiere or in Encore (I have version CS3)

      I checked the forums, I tried de-interlacing in Premiere, progressive reanscoding in Encore, all sorts of combinations. I am not happy with the results, there is always something that isn`t right.

      I will appreciate your help and advise, to be able to solve this problem.
      Thanking you in advance.

          Christine,

          The "fast motion" aspect can be addressed in either location: PP, or Encore. You will want to do a manual Transcode setting for that/those Asset(s). This will then probably bring in bit-budgeting for the full Project.

          There are several good threads of bit-budgeting, with links to bit-budgeting calculators and suggestions on this forum. I am not sure that there is as much useful info on the PP forums, but there might be.

          Look closely for comments by Neil, Ruud and Jeff. They each usually link to other sources of info, that really become relevent, when you have to address individual Assets. It's not a really easy task, but they all go a long way to simplify the task.

          Jeff's book, "Focal Easy Guide to Encore2," covers some of the aspects of individual Asset Transcodes. Do not let the "Encore2" bit bother you. Most is the same for all versions.

          Good luck,

          Hunt
