Are you setting it for frames and progressive? If I get a chance, I will try to find one of the online tutorials later (no links at this computer)

Thank you George.
I set it to frames but nothing ...it is a little bit better with progressive but still not good..

If you used Cut Fields, did you check Motion Detection? Also, time-warp needs to full render to playback smoothly. You right click on the bar above the clip (with the sequence number in it) and Force Rendering on that clip (assuming you have Yellow Slices off or rendering off).

Todd, I'm a bit late into this thread.
My edit suite is Avid Liquid 7.1, and attached is an example of a flying stork, reduced to one quarter of its original speed. The settings in Liquid was Cut fields, Motion detection choosed.
The footage is compressed in Sorensen Squeeze Suite 4.2, to a file size of just 812 KB!

Original footage by Brendan Marnell, Irland.

What is the source material? DV? Progressive? It makes a big difference as to what settings you'll use.
