AVCHD footage is green and jittery
Hi there,
I’ve ingested via Log and Transfer some AVCHD footage from a Sony hard drive camcorder. It comes in to FCP 6.06, however, when I view the footage in FCP it plays jumpy (plays for about a second and jumps back for a frame and then continues) and also flashes to green occasionally.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what this may be?
Thanks,
Simon.

Did you transcode the footage?
You don’t want to edit in the AVCHD format. Convert your footage to prores or something else.
Also, you didn’t capture to your internal (System) drive did you?Chris Tompkins

Hi Chris,
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I thought I should let you know that I ended up discovering the problem. The AVCHD log and transfer process into FCP was being troubled by the presence of Perian on my system.

Once I removed (or turned off) Perian there was no longer a problem.
Your suggestions helped in the process and I appreciate your help.
Have a great day,
Simon.
