| Display Text | Picture Stutter |
| Description | "Picture Stutter" occurs when an image sequence lacks motion blur. This can be made worse in encoded streams, as interframe encoding may further enhance any picture stutter. |
| Impact | Picture stutter negatively impacts member experience, as on screen action will appear unnatural. |

| Solutions | |
| How to Prevent |
Shoot at the frame rate appropriate for the amount of action. Avoid frame rate conversions whenever possible to minimize the risk of introducing post processing stutter. |
| How to Fix | Apply motion blur or frame blending to reduce the effect of stutter. This can soften or distort the image, so it’s important to find a compromise between smooth motion and a crisp, in focus image. |
