The shutter on your projector isn't quite working right, so that's why the image is jumping up and down and smearing. The mechanical shutter is supposed to only let the light shine through to the screen in the brief moment when the gate is stopped at each frame of the film. This creates the stop-motion effect, and the illusion of a series of still images turning into a moving picture. If the shutter is allowed to be open when the film is moving, you get the jumping and smearing.
@vwestlife thanks very much. all sorted now and the picture is clear and stable, thanks for helping me troubleshoot.
