Hi Mark,
Nice to see the animations. I recognize the choppy effect, I had that
several times in animations. The best solution I could find so far is to
encode a lossless movie in AE and then use Quicktime to create a H264
movie
to show on youtube. The quicktime encoder is much better.
But some animations seem to suffer much more from the effect. Maybe
because
in a fly through animation too much of the sequence changes from frame to
frame.
This animations shows the effect a bit still. I used the AE plugin "Real
Smart Motion Blur" to simulate motion blur. Which helped quite a bit to
reduce the stuttering.

However the next animation caused a lot less problems, while it's quite
the
same type of animation.
But this is a wmv, maybe wmv plays better than quicktime on Windows.

I haven't found the ultimate answer yet.
Arjo.
There are never ultimate answers...
Great work Arjo - actually, incredible work for a single person to produce!
I'll check out your and everyone else's tips, thanks!
