Video is shaking/jittering on export

Hi everyone: 

I am having a problem with exporting a video.  Link to the video in question is here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOlxn3yY-K0&feature=youtu.be

It's especially noticeable on the book shots.

The video was shot with a Canon C100 Mark ii in 24p format and edited using Premiere Pro v12.  My computer specs are 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7 running El Capitan.

I have tried the following:

Applying Video Limiter to keep the whites and blacks under 100 and 0 respectively (I thought all the white was causing the shaking at first)

Creating new sequences in ARRI Cinema and AVCHD

Exporting at the YouTube 720 and 1080 preset (what I usually do)

Exporting as a MPGEG 2 file

Exporting with the Match Source preset

Exporting with Match Sequence Settings checked

Changing the Fields to both Upper and Lower Field First (even though its a progressive video)

Changing the Frame Sampling to Frame Blending

Restarting

Here are my current sequence settings:

And my export settings

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi AlisiaC,

Sorry for the frustration. I suspect this is GPU related. Go to File > Project Settings > General and change the Renderer to "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only." Report back with the results.

Thanks,

Kevin

is there a similar setting on Lightroom iOS mobile app? My videos when exported are laggy and jittery, and I'm not sure if that is caused by the overprocessed video. The video is short only 7 seconds long and only 1080p

Interesting! Even with that last file you uploaded, I was unable to replicate the jitter on export (on a 2013 El Capitan Mac trash can nor a 2015 macbook Air). Unfortunately it appears to be an issue specific to your hardware (namely: GPU) which Apple doesn't update terribly often, if at all.

Are those scenes of the open book pages videos or still images?

They are videos.  I could make them stills, but it still doesn't solve the problem as the entire video is shaking.  I didn't upload the entire video, but you can notice the shake on every shot.  It's just the most noticeable on those book shots.

I do see the jitter elsewhere now. Is this apparent in your source/program windows before export? Or only in the final export?

No sure if I can see what you mean in this. Where is the most noticeable part that there is shake?

It's a minute up and down shaking.  If you look at the video full screen and watch from :02 - :05 you can see the letters on the page jittering.  You can also notice is on the next shot when different pieces of the kit appear - if you keep your eye on the box, you'll see it.

Thank you.

I'd like to see the original media information from MediaInfo ... maybe download that free app, drag/drop a clip onto the app's icon. When it opens, go into Tree View, and post a screen grab of the Video section ... ?
