Hi guys!
i recently began trying to make animations and i have a problem with the fluidity in every animation i make.
i try to do it with playbast and with Batch Render and the result was the same.
In my preference options i set the Settings/time: Film (24 fps) and in, Time Slider/Playback speed : Real-time (24fps).
I watched some tutorials to know how to set my Playblast options and it always does the same thing, it’s seems like it shakes, like I’m seeing every frames.. (not fluid)
i tried to make a Batch Render with the setting to Quality : production , i set the image format to “tiff”, “targa"… you know, the base settings for Batch Render animation… and when i reunite all the frames in one movie file (quicktime player .. with 24 frames sec) it’s always shaky and not fluid
so .. lol… my question is: is there a setting i have to change or something? did i do something wrong in the animation process (i did a basic animation with key frames) or is it my video card ?????.... it’s a ATI Radeon HD 4850 (512 mo) (my computer is a imac 27 inch i5)
but i dont usually have problems with my video card doing other things like ..watching movies or playing, or any kind of things in maya (modeling,texturing...)
i put a short video on youtube ... so you can see the problem i have.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdTZsIhWpHg

Thank You very much for your time.

Agreed:)

Just open up your graph editor, Located under. Window, animation Editors , Graph editor.
Select the object you animated and youll see some lines in the graph, See what translates you used and try smooth out the line like above image, Your lines probably have some sharpness to them, , Difficult to explain really, Go to the help and see tutorials on graph editor, If you like upload your Scene and Ill do it for you and send it back, Then you can have a look at the graphs and see what I have done.
