Stuttering during camera movements

[leopoldm24722369]

Dear all, unfortunately the camera moves stutter a lot, both when exporting and while working. Is this related to my computer’s performance? What can I change to minimize the stuttering? Thank you very much!

that's caused by number of pixels moved from one frame to the next and your fps setting.

thanks, kglad! what can i do to minimize it? my fps setting is at 30. 

[kglad]

start by increasing the fps to 60. 

if that still stutters, you can try 120 fps.  but if the movement from one frame to the next is 2 or 3 pixels, stuttering is going to occur no matter what fps is used.

does your animation play smoothly when tested in animate?

120 fps is the max, but whether your computer (or a viewer's computer) can handle any fps is a different issue (unless you export a video).

thanks again, klad. I'll try that. I only need the exported file to work without much stuttering.

[kglad]

the export should be a video (not swf) then (assuming no code needs to execute).

[leopoldm24722369]

thanks, kglad. yeah, I know that. the problem is, that by increasing the fps, I need to increase the frames to keep the timing, so the result is the same. maybe there is a way in the export-settings?

[kglad]

if you're moving more than 1 px per frame, you're going to see stuttering unless you blur the object to obscure the stutter..

[leopoldm24722369]

yes, that is logical. I work with tweening in the the camera layer, so i asumed that animate would do that so it doesn't stutter - but honestly, I think I have to live with that stutter ...

[kglad]

animate does nothing to prevent stuttering.

unfortunately, in this case, yes. a tweening from a to b should work without stuttering, and it does, mostly. but not so with the camera movements, it seems.
