Jerky playback of video

[Glyn]

I am working on a collection of video and still clips,
muting the sound and putting music over it. It works
fine for the still clips, but with the video, the
pictures go jerky and stop and start (the music still
plays smoothly). With the video clips I am just fading
them in, no transitions or video effects other than the
sound being muted. Help!

Is this just seen on the preview window? MM shows it as well as it can in
real time, so it can be jerky for low spec pc's or hi spec movies. Make an
avi file and view from the hdd to see what it looks like then.
