What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
There's very noticeable juddering in the pre-rendered cutscene that plays before the first mission. This juddering does not occur when run on the actual console.

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,

I've tried touching every setting I could think of that might affect this but nothing seems to fix it:
- Dual core enable/disable
- Speed up Disc Transfer Rate on/off
- All of the various video backends DX11,OpenGL,Vulkan
- Fullscreen on/off
- V-sync (dolphin option) on/off
- Progressive Scan (dolphin advanced option) on/off
- Windows 10 fullscreen optimizations on/off
- Changing the Windows refresh rate to 60 hz
- Nvidia power settings for Dolphin: Prefer max performance
- Nvidia G-sync on/off
I even tried borrowing an NTSC version of the game and it showed the exact same issue on Dolphin.

Try increasing the emulated CPU clock to around 150% in Options/Configuration/Advanced.

That seemed to do the trick, 109% seems to be as low as I can go before juddering starts showing up again.
Thanks.

Yeah, Dolphin's emulated CPU is too slow in some instances. This shouldn't break the game otherwise but should be good enough that the cutscenes look right until Dolphin's accuracy improves.

I guess I'll accept this but I should really combine everything sometime.
