Thanks for the response. I will try to be more complete. I can hear some popping on the source tape. It is difficult to see any jumping on the LCD. Once in FCP, I can hear the popping noise a bit more, and the stuttering is apparent. I take the edited project back to DV tape, and then to VHS. On the outbound DV, the stuttering is clearly noticeable, and on the VHS it is quite distracting. The GL2 has never been serviced, so perhaps your suggestion of having it serviced and getting the heads checked out could solve the problem. I had been using Panasonic tape exclusively. My management bought Sony tape to save money, and this situation came up. That is the only variable in the workflow, other than the fact the camera has never been serviced. Thanks for your help. I’m a graphic artist by trade, and was volunteered for these video assignments, so the learning curve is steep right now.
