Still photos flicker and look terrible after exporting from FCE.

[HarryPot]

I'm making a video mostly of still photos. The problem is, when I export the movie from FCE, either in my Mac or in the TV, all the photos "flicker" when there is some ken burn effects present.

I even used the anti-flickerng filter, but to no good results. It looked the same.

Anyone knows how to fix this problem?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Can you post the exact and detailed CLIP, SEQUENCE and EXPORT settings?

Have you used an interlaced sequence setting or a progressive one? Have you de-interlaced during the export?

Sure.

- First, the timeline in which the video was done was in AIC.
- The export setting where using QuickTime Conversion in QuickTime Movie Format

Then I clicked in Options and selected:
- Compression Type: H.264 (Also tried with AIC)
- Quality: Best (In AIC used 720p)
- I also made a try using a slight Blur Filter, to see if it worked reducing the flickering.
- As a final try, I exported as a QuickTime Movie, without any conversion, and used iDVD to burn to a DVD.

In the TV I watched the movie from the DVD and from the exported QuickTime Conversion file, using my Apple TV and my PS3.

The photos come from a RAW file, and I re-sized them to fit 2000x2000 pixels. I also gave them a slight blur.

As for your last question, I'm not sure what you mean with interlaced or progressive.

Thanks for the help.
