Whats the bitrate of the original file?
Is the export using the same bitrate?
Because the footage you are using is already compressed, exporting to the same codec (H.264) will incur some recompression = loss.

Provided your media is in the one folder they should all reconnect. if you’ve spread them out over many folders that will only reconnect on a folder by folder basis.
Each file is looking for the folder structure inside the drive letter.
I always capture in the one folder and set up a folder structure inside my projects. Or at least have a folder structure that is simplified to Images, Audio, Video.

It’s now possible that your computer is not fast enough to playback the new video data rate.
It could be related to a number of things.
RAM minimum 2Gig, no other apps open.
HDD speed minimum 7200rpm on a dedicated drive (sep to the OS).
Ext. USB even at USB2 is crap for high data rate video playback.
CPU is not quick enough. (Core 2 Duo minimum)
Welcome to the world of HD. It requires much more computer guts.Try importing the clip into Premiere and rendering it. THat might get the playback working enough to show you if it runs right.
Keep playing with the AME (Adobe Media Encoder) settings to see if a lower data rate helps with playback, foregoing the quality.

Can you post the video (a small part of it) on a host site? I can only look at it to tell you whats happening.

IF the fps is 59.94 on the clip then that is exactly what it needs to playback properly in the timeline.
60fps is not 59.94
59.96 is not 59.94
that tiny amount difference is what adds up over time to a poorly synced up video by the end.
The export needs to be the same too. 59.94Try using the SONY EX preset 720p you’ll see the 60p that uses the 59.94 fps for clips.
Start there…– Jon 😉

If it start out ok and proressively gets worse I’d say its a frames per second issue. If it doesn’t match its start out ok and gets worse as time goes on. You need to be certain the 720 footage is actually running at 60p. The reviews out there say this can go upto 60p. Means it might not actually be at that mode.
As much as this is annoying to hear, but this camera is far from professinal. I’d recommend you doulbe check the properties of the mov files in QT. then make a new project, have the same fps, frame size and when you export it make sure the properties of the export are correct too.
If it plays back fine in the timeline, but gets bad on the way out (export) the properties in the export settings are not matching.

General
Editing mode: Desktop
Timebase: 60.00 fpsVideo Settings
Frame size: 1080h 720v (1.200)
Frame rate: 60.00 frames/second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1/DV NTSC Widescreen 16:9 (1.2)
Fields: No Fields (Progressive Scan)Audio Settings
Sample rate: 48000 samples/secondCapture Format
DV CaptureWhy aren’t you using a preset? HDV NTSC 60i or DV NTSC 29.97fps
Why is your time base 60p, r u sure it recorded in 60P? I doubt the Canon camera can do that (can do 30p – kinda).
What is with the settings for frame size? 1080×720. never heard of it. 1280×720 is considered 720p HD/HDV. 1920×1080 for FullHD in either interlaced or progressive. HDV is 1440×1080 (anamorphic) widescreen and actually always interlaced (even in progressive it embedded in the interlacing). The PAR of 1.2 is only for DV NTSC not HD or HDV.
Capture format is DV? Did you shoot HDV or DV?1. If you know what format you shot, use a preset based on it. The frame rate size and format (NTSC/PAL) will determine the frame size/rate/etc and should be correct.
2. Use a preset.
3. THANKYOU for sending us the project details you have no idea how many people just say my export looks weird without sending the project specs.– Jon Barrie 😉

It could be as simple as one of the computers has a mis-matched L – R speaker output.
1. Does the audio meter show L and R working the same on both computers?
2. If you bring it back to the same computer is worked on does that fix the problem or does it stick?
3. Are the computer systems the same (OS WinXP/Vista?)

Seriously, blame it on the everio files. the computer needs to crunch compression GOP and other horrible things that DV doesn’t have. HDD cameras are consumer and only really made for people to watch directly from the camera, a computer or burnt directly to DVD. It was not made for editing. I’d convert the footage to either DV if the resolution matches the project or into a form of HD if its a HD resolution based workflow. Never use the ugly MPEG junk for editing. It’s frame accuracy is shite too.

Just did some FCP(Mac) media manager tests to PProCS3(PC) and the DVCPROHD and DVCPRO50 in avi format only bring in the audio, in Mov they won’t come in period. DVCPRO(25) in avi format will open properly.
Mov format works but must render.
