  • Jerky footage (not dropped frames)

    Posted by Matt Patterson on April 9, 2010 at 3:32 am

    Hi
    I’ve been editing a show reel for a cinematographer whose footage consists of 16mm , 35mm and digibeta . When editing on FCP, the footage was fine. When I converted it into a quick time movie it played well ( 31.9 MB), although there was one part of the footage that was somewhat jerky ( wasn’t dropped frames) I then uploaded it on to a website and the jerky characteristic spread to other parts of the footage.
    I’d really appreciate some advice on this , I have included the link to the footage.

    Thanks

    Matt

    Evidently the film was telecined prpgressive and you’re most likey editing in an interlaced sequence.

    What specs does the FCP browser tell you about the framerate and fields of the material?
