FX1 capture on Premiere 1.5
Hello,
I’m having trouble capturing video from a sony FX1 into Premiere 1.5. I’m shooting the film in non-HD [720] with the 24p function. It looks fine from the camera, but when its captured and watched in playback it looks minutely different.
I’ve tested on friends and it’s hard for the untrained eye to tell, but the video looks slightly more choppy in playback than it does from the camera. It makes it look as if the shutter speed is faster than when I recorded it.So my question is if there is a better setting to capture to make the image quality to look like it does in the camera. One idea I had was that 1.5 may just be too old of a program, and though about updating to Premiere CS. Would this make a difference?
please let me know.
thank you.

Is the jitter the same after an export, or is it just during preview ?
My feeling though is that this is just the way the Sony FX1 handles 24p and if I remember well, it’s not pretty.
In fact, if it uses the CineFrame setting, I wouldn’t shoot 24P at all.
I believe it uses a workaround, first converting to progressive, losing half the resolution in the process.
I don’t own this camera, but I don’t think it supports true 24P either. Try setting up 30P timeline and see if things improve. Maybe a FX1 owner will shed more light.
