cant get a smooth movie why

[BrianHarbauer]

What frame rate did you capture at? and what are you trying to export at?

[BrianHarbauer]

Sorry, i read your question again, i think i know what your problem is but i need some more info before i can say for sure.

What are you computer specs.

how are your hard drives set up? are they set in a raid configuration? do you capture to your C drive?

What speed are your hard drives? 5,400 rpm 7,200 rpm or 10,000 rpm?

How much ram do you have?

How fast is your pc?

Do you have dual processors, Hypertheading, or just one processor?

How much free hard drive space do you have, and how big is your drive?

How is it partitioned?

Is your hard drive in the NTFS or FAT32 file system?

What video card are you using?

Do you use a rendercard such as canopus or matrox?


A little more info would help. If i can get answers to these questions, i should be able to tell you why it's dropping frames.

I'm pretty darn sure i know what the problem is but i just need to verifyhttp://www.cgtalk.com/images/icons/icon13.gif

When you say it "looks good" or "don't look good," what does it look like? Jaggy? Bad screen image? Halting, uneven movement?

[gilgil80]

when its dont looks good its looks Bad screen image and uneven movement and when its looks good when its looks smooth and no bad screen image

[BrianHarbauer]

Check all of your settings in premiere to make sure all of the compression settings and frame rate are all good.


After your project is loaded, goto:

|Project|>|Project Settings|>|General|

Editing Mode: Video for Windows"
Timebase: 29.97
30 fps Drop-Frame Timecode

Click next on the bottom right corner.

Compressor: (Xvid)

Depth: Millions+

Frame Size: 720x480

Frame Rate:29.97

Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1/DV NTSC (0.9)

Click Configure to the right of the Compressor.

Pull the scrubber all the way to the left. (maximum quality)

(I'm assuming that your equipment you shot stuff on was NTSC and not PAL)
(I should've asked... Oops:rolleyes:)

[gilgil80]

sorry but my time bas 25 fram per s and iam check all the setting its ok ...

[BrianHarbauer]

If the original video was shot in 29fps, and you are exporting in 25fps with no pull down, then you'll get a heck of a lot of jittering. I've never used Power Director, soo... yeah. So, basically, even the professionals have talked about this, if you record in 29fps... stick with 29fps.... Unless you have a program to do pulldown such as aftereffects.

(Is there a reason it needs to be 25fps?)
