I am assembling my holiday pictures with Proshow Gold and I want

'jerky', not smooth at all.

The Google Earth original is at 15 fps and I have tried converting
it to 29.97 fps with Super, without success. Any advice on the fix?
Thank you in advance. - gA

I solve the problem by "capturing" the flight with a camcorder: Set to
manual white balance and exposure (adjust for best color/etc), point
camera at an LCD monitor (1280x1024) in a dark room, run the flight
forward and reverse a couple of times to fill the buffer, then
shoot...works great. Be sure to set the buffer size (in the Google
Earth applet) as large as possible. A CRT monitor is unlikely to be
usable here because of the much faster refresh rate...which will not
match the camcorder's frame rate. If you don't have a desk-top LCD,
then perhaps you can use a notebook.
