I will try those presets when I get home. Do you know which export I should use that will keep the quality? I noticed that even though my film is using quicktime H.264 @ 59.94 FPS…the most I can export as quicktime H.264 is 30FPS.

Yes, it progressivly gets worse with the choppiness. Here is the QT information for the original mov:

I just did some testing in after effects CS3…and if I export as quicktime…use H.264 compression…my video exports perfectly…great quality…no skipping…but when I do the same thing in premiere cs3…I get the weird stuff mentioned above…anyone know? I just tried using the HDV 720P…and I get the same results as above.

My camera says it will shoot 1080P @ 30FPS….and 720P @ 60FPS. In premiere, top left hand corner it says:

Movie: 1280×720(1.0) 59.96FPS

So wouldn’t that be what the movie I imported was shot in? I just tried using the preset for “HDV 720P”…and it only allows for 29.97FPS….and as before when I export to mpeg2…the first couple seconds look/sound great…then I get a lot of skipping.

I am kind of new to premiere but this is my current settings:

I found that if I export using adobe media encoder…choose mpeg2…if I choose 5 quality, 1080×720, and fps of 60….that the video quality looks good…but after about 20 seconds the video gets choppy.
