jerky freeze frames using FCPHD
I posted earlier and didn’t see the post come up. Pardon me if I’ve somehow posted this twice. Newbie troubles I’d suppose.
This is my first music video. The freeze frames look fine on my computer, and when I download a sample of it online, all is well. Then I print to video, and then connect my dvx100 to the tv (via rca cables) the freeze frames are pretty much all jerky looking. Thanks in advance for the help.

You should not edit by looking at only the computer monitor for judging quality.
FCP is designed as an editing SYSTEM to be operated with an external video monitor connected
(through a camcorder is just fine) DURING the edit process.
The external video monitor would have shown you that many video “freeze frames” will wiggle, dance, jitter, flicker, etc.This “flicker” is absolutely normal and is due to video “frames” being made up of TWO “fields”.
If there is a lot of action in the frame you chose to “freeze”, the 2 fields will appear slightly different from one another and will jump back-and-forth between themselves, over and over during the “freeze”.To solve the problem, just add the “Flicker Filter” or, better still, the “De-Interlace Filter” to the freeze(s).

De-Interlace (or)
Flicker FilterAgain, if you watch the external monitor, you will see the flicker go away after a filter is applied.
