Slow Motion in Premiere 6.5 is jerky

[tnunez]

I have tried interlacing, deinterlacing, smoothing, (all the options in the field options)and video slowed down to anything below 100% is jerky. I don't know what to do...I have a brand new Sony Vaio computer. I didn't have this problem with Prmiere 5.0. Any suggestions? Everything I have been reading has indicated that this is a problem, however, there is no fix.

I am seeing this, too, using Premiere 6.5 on video taken from a Sony camera.

Did you ever figure out what the hassle was?

Cheers,


Edward

I never figured it out...in fact, I went out and bought PP 1.5 because Adobe said they fixed the motion problems. However, now my stills turn to green or black after rendering (audio is fine). I have about had it-I've wasted so much money and time. I actually had to go back to the 5.0 version to make a video because of all the problems. Keep me informed if you find out... Thanks.

You get better results with slomo in Premiere if you choose a round number divisor (eg 1/2, 1.3, 1,4 etc). That way Premiere can repeat frames rather than interpolate.

After Effects does a much better job with any divisor and gives the added ability to change speed in mid clip.

Slomo for fast action is never going to be great unless you start with a high frame rate, which isn't available with normal cameras.
