    I don’t know where else to ask this, so if this is not the correct forum, please direct me that way.

    My question is: Am I using bad technique? Or am I using a bad Premiere Pro CS5 project set up?

    I have a Canon XA10, and it is capable of shooting Native 24P, PF24, PF30, and 60i. I have done some test footage in 24P and it seems like it always comes out jittery. this includes slow and fast pans and zooms. I have messed with the shutter speed, and when I lowered it to 1/24 from 1/48, that helped a little, but I still can’t seem to get a great result. I don’t have a clear idea of how to set up a Premiere Pro CS5 timeline to edit this on either. I have done a 23.976, and I did a custom 24P set up too. But I did not really know what I was doing in custom set up. I would like to eventually export it to DVD or Blu-Ray, but Canon’s manual says that shooting in native 24P will not allow 24P footage to be viewed on NTSC TVs.

    I have never worked with native 24P before, but I am very interested in understanding how to edit with it in Premiere Pro CS5. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Did you ever get a solution to this? I’ve just purchase the XA10, also working with Premiere, and I’ve been attempting to solve the “smooth motion” issue as well.
    Thanks,

    I will be taking this on in a few days. However, I will first attempt to drop it in the timeline and see how it looks, but I will most likely run a plug in like Magic Bullet Frames, and possibly adjust the field options in premiere. This has resulted in reasonable success when I have had other interlaced footage in the past.
