Encoded FLV problem

[sdsumike619]

I frameserved from Vegas to On2 Flix in order to encode an FLV (Flash video) (high bitrate for broadband)

In part of this video I have a basic slide show meaning I have a still image that is on the screen for a few seconds, then I use a push transition to slide it off the screen as the next one slides in.

The problem I am seeing is that as these pictures are sliding, they look like they have a motion blur effect, and/or interlacing. Is there a way to avoid this? I would take a screen shot of it but I don't know how to get a frame of FLV..

Thanks

maybe try export to avi and then encode it instead of frameserving.

actually I discovered that encoding the video first AVC mp4 results in a great FLV file so I'm going to go that route unless you know of something better?

Encoding to AVI in my opinion really stinks. I tried it and the video was flickering and just looked really bad. But with mp4 at a high high bitrate, the video is pristine as is the resulting FLV with Flix Pro

uncompressed avi stinks?

I don't know about uncompressed, but DV AVI in Vegas for this particular video does look bad.
AVC MP4 is much better.

For a slide show you would be better off importing still images into flash and doing the transitions there.

Well it's not just a slide show, it's mixed with video as well... I got the problem solved though.. Video came out to 32mb at just over 10 minutes, 480x360 frame size.. Works great =)
