Activity Forums Sony Cameras Z7U is choppy

    I recently purchased the Sony Z7U camera and have been filming on the compact flash card at 1080i/60i. When I import to my Mac Book Pro I use Log & Transfer and all looks good. When I play back video in HD or upload to Vimeo in HD I get these Horizontal Lines in some of the clips.

    How can I avoid this mess of a video. I also get jumpy video. It’s not smooth and looks sloppy.

    Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Proper monitoring so you can tell what you’ve viewing is accurate.
    Deinterlacing interlaced video for web use.
    Making sure you have proper bandwidth so you can handle the data rate of the web video.
    Using an external firewire drive at 7200rpm to playback the media when editing.

    What about compressing down converted video from FCP 7 to DVD Studio Pro. Will just the regular export settings do?
