Picture stability on DV

[nicco]

I have a movie, made in PremierePro 1.5, with a lot of still images (you can see an example:
)

When I export the movie in Divx and I watch it in PCs it looks perfect, but when I export to my DV-tape, picture stability is bad.
In fact a lot of still images (like the ones in the example) seems to vibrate (understand?), do you know why?
thx

maybe TFF/BFF issue ? afaik DV is BFF

TFF/BFF issue
Of course is BFF, Premiere is set to BFF

[Ark]

Wrong allocations of fields:

TFF = Top Field First
BFF = Bottom Field First

The odd thing is that to change that in Premiere you have to re-export the video selecting Bottom Field First in the "Export to AVI" dialog window, or change that when starting a project.

Try first some frames, say 100, exporting with BFF and with TFF and see results.

For exporting in DV you simply have to put your firewire cable into your dv camcoder and then in Premiere select "export to Dv tape".
My project is BFF, as DV is, I tryed to create some new project TFF and Progressive (which are not the right solution for DV), importing the same pictures, but it doen't seem to be the solution...

@nico.
Click onto you "still clip" with the left button and on "fields options" set "remove interlace flicker"
this should fix you flicking problem

This is really an useful tip!
I'll try as soon as I can, can you explain me what does this command do? Why these stills get flickering?

[EDIT]
OK, thanks, it works!!! :D
