Poor Video Quality, Need Help
I’m having some problems with the playback of standard definition video captured from the HD SR1 (sony’s HD handycam).
After rendering, any motion in the frame shows up with jagged interlaced lines.I am using final cut pro 6, and unfortunately, because the computers are in my school’s library, I can’t tell you anything about the video settings at the moment. Is there a specific playback setting i should use for standard definition footage from this camera?
To import the footage i first transfered the files to a hard drive, then used import to select the ones i wanted. Is there a better method? Footage played back on the camera looks fine.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

[m00ps] “After rendering, any motion in the frame shows up with jagged interlaced lines.”
Where are you seeing this? What monitor? What part of the FCP interface?
Our usual response is that you can’t evaluate interlaced footage on a progressive, reduced quality display such as the Canvas in FCP. You must play out to an interlaced video monitor. Correction: You must play out to a video monitor that matches your target output, whatever that is, which you cannot tell us.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
