close to a full moon last night so that should have helped.
The issue seems to be all the pan and scan effects. This is a living
history type project with interviews and still images. That - and
because I was monitoring on a full screen SVGA monitor instead of
through a firewire device - is why I didn't see the stutter. The
interveiws didn't move all that much - and the pan-and-scans were all
rendered at 24p. My warning came when the proof copy DVD - converted in
Squeeze to 30i looked stuttered, and then I couldn't output to DVCam.
The client - a veteran broadcast professional - never even noticed.
Already told the wife and kids I'll see them Monday morning. It's
looking like a very long weekend. This morning I'll try deleting all
the stills from the sequence and try importing it through the edl
manager again. At least that will save some time.
Thanks for the help Terry. If you get any other brainstorms that might
save my sanity and allow me to get some sleep this weekend, let me know.
