Is the stuttering inherent in the clip? Was that from post?
Guyzo 5 days ago

Nope. It plays back perfectly on my pc. I was frustrated to see that when i played it online:(

Perhaps it has to something to do with having not removed the pull down? Hopefully someone will chime in with confirmation that it is a pull down issue -- or something else.

Maybe with vimeo's conversion of it?

Why don't you just apply the pulldown? It takes like 5 seconds in AE, and I am positive that Vegas can do it.
Guyzo 4 days ago

You'd think so, but it's not the case. Only AE and i believe FCP do it properly. There's a work around for vegas, premier and the others...

Nice stuff man-- did you remove the pulldown from this clip?
Guyzo 5 days ago

No....
I should probably learn how to do that.

im trying to get into this diy crane right now as well and i would like to know whether you had your image stabilizer turned on or off in those shots? i made the experience that ois off will give you a much more fluent move.
Guyzo 4 days ago

I hade image stabilizer turned on. Good to know.
