Have captured a screen shot of map and saved it in various formats such as jpg and others. (I tried saving at as a PDF but Premiere wont import that format) I put a couple on the Premiere time-line and they look fine. However when played as video the image breaks up and is not readable at all.   I have tried the various Field Options available and non of these work.
 
Any suggestions on this one please.   Pete.

Are you seeing this break-up on timeline playback, or when rendered out of Premiere to the delivery format?

Thanks. The problem is as soon as I try to play the timeline and not being output at all. Pete.

Sorry, Pete, I don't understand your reply.

It's a problem on playback, OK.

Have you tried rendering the timeline and seeing if that improves playback?

When you render it out to the delivery format? What happens?

Thanks again. Yes, it's a problem on the playback of the timeline. I have now made a PNG file of the still screenshot and it looks - well - 'OK'. I have rendered it and it plays in an acceptable manner. I am now wondering if I am expecting just too much.
My original jpg looked really perfect  - until rendered and played.  I haven't actually exported it to any format. I hope you can understand what I mean.  Thanks again for your interest.  Pete.

I have tried several screen capture programs to capture video, and none playback smoothly. Can you use a camera to capture the map?

How about a screen capturing program such as Camtasia. You can capture the screen then export it as a video file (various formats)
There's a free trial of it to download

OK Pete, that's clearer, thanks.
 
Just to check, when I say "render the timeline" I mean setting the sequence in point before your troublesome still, and the outpoint after it, and going sequence-> render in to out. You should then get a green line appearing at the top of the timeline. When you do this the still continues to play back poorly?

Even so, it would be worth outputting this part of the timeline just to see what it looks like when it's been output to MPEG-2 or H264 or whatever your final destination is. Until you've done that you can't really 100% tell how it's going to turn out.
