(before shot WHEN PREVIEWED FROM PREMIERE, notice the fingers first of all)
I was looking to do a sort of do an aliasing technique on it and I suppose I did that... but that's not all, it also did 2 things.
1:
(before)
(after, notice he seemed to grow a head out of his neck as if it's transitioning into another slide)
and 2: the resulting file was a bit (about 5%!) smaller.
I just wanted to 1- show this little 'tip' and 2- was sorta wondering what the heck I just found here... I mean, I suppose it's smaller cuz it's smoother therefore less to draw, but I didn't do anything but put the exported clip into the project... seems redundant to my simple brain -_- also I didn't mess with the opacity filter at all therefor it was at the default 100%, you shouldn't be able to see the underlying clips (the original clips if your not following me yet) at ALL! But there most deffiniteley is a difference leading me to beleive that Premeire does an auto smoothing of sorts upon export? well if so, plus if the file size is different with less to draw, why wouldn't the initial file size be smaller?? I tried to duplicate this process again by simply copying another occasion of the exported file into the project, but it only lessened the file size by less then 1% and the thing was already as smooth as a baby's butt so, not knowing what was going on, I just decided not to do it ;p.
I had also took both the earlier exported video into Virtual Dub AND the smaller exported video with the original cut laid on top of it while encoding and they looked like this
original video
smaller video
as you can see they look pretty damned identicle to me... any idea why one is smaller and why the preview window is such a LIAR? Mostly why is it smaller and am I hurting myself by doing this??
