I exported a singe scene from an interview and the resulting video alternates from good to blurry then good then blurry every 2 seconds or so? Is the variable compression brain getting confused? Should I go with a fixed rate?

Also wondered how to keep photos from going crazy when you apply a ken burns effect. Meaning the single field flickers that go crasy when you animate a photo?

Hey to you Mr. Peregrine,
I used VBR two pass 7.4 max (I'm guessing here but thats average as I never go over 8). Every other time it looks fine but this export shot was a locked down interview shot and must have confused the encoder. Compressor has never worked right for me so I use the FCP>quicktime exporter and choose the mpeg option. This export I did not have markers. it was actually just a 2 minute encode of out takes from my daughter reading her narration lines for her latest bday video. All my other work usually always has chapter markers placed in.

The pic resolution is around 2400x3264. This time I was lazy and use the iPhoto ken burns exporter as it was a separate photo montage video made up of all the photos my wife and I took.
