    I have shot footage in 1080 25p using a Sony EX3. When i export from the timeline using Flip4Mac to wmv, the file I create seems quite jaggedy & seems to zing a lot. I have tried checking both progressive & interlaced tabs in the exporter but it doesn’t seem to make any difference. What is the best way to make this high quality HD footage look decent in wmv format.
    When I used to shoot in SD with DVCAM this was never a problem.

    Thanks

    We shoot with the EX1 a lot. I have found that FCP has some funky issues when exporting. When making a WMV I usually export to a native format first then export to my final file type (like WMV/Flip4Mac using Quicktime). When editing with the XDCAM codec the quality loss is negligible — the results are much more reliable.

    Hope this helps.
