Lots of flicker on stills, how to remove ?

Need a little help.

I am making a project where I use screendumps from websites, and animating them via key frames.

But there is a lot of flicker in the graphics.

How do I get rid of that, and have smooooooth graphics moving across the screen.

I have tried render as progressive, but that did'nt help.

Any advice would be nice.

I am on Vegas7

Things to try:

1. "reduce interlace flicker" (right click on event > switches)

2. Make sure you're using "blend" or "interpolate" de-interlacing methods in your project properties if you're trying progressive

3. Add a little gaussian blur effect to the events (horizontal 0, vertical start at 0.001 and increase if necessary)

4. Reduce the opacity of the stills a little (drag down envelope from top of event)

5. For white graphics reduce white levels from 255-255-255 to something like 235-235-235

Let us know what works

Thanks for your fast reply.

I have tried your advice, and they helped, but not enough, there is still to much flicker in the graphics.

However, I have to drop this project, as I am making a DVD for tonight, I am presenting my latest films in our local diveclub, so I have to start making the DVD now, or else I might not be finished in time.

So I will play with the settings later.

Thanks agian

Prem Pro you have to add the flicker filter as well.

I hate to say it but the ones I have done with you know what work no probs.

snickering at Wags....

Sorry, i can't help, haven't done that before

Okey, I did'nt manage to put it into my project today, cause I had to start the mpeg2 encoding for tonights show at the local diveclub.

-but I have been playing with it afterwards.

Best results with:

- Render quality: Best (this is very importent)

- "reduce interlace flicker" (right click on event > switches)

- Reduce the opacity of the stills
