Thank you all so much! You just saved me several hours of work.
This latest script works flawlessly with CC2017 files.

Thanks for the insight.
I’ll be sure to use that method next time those nasty AVCHD get messed up.

[Ht Davis] “Was this an iPhone video?”
Footage was shot with a proper video camara, not a photographic camera nor a phone. It was a Panasonic I’m not sure about the model though.

[Ht Davis] “Was image stabilize on?”
Possibly. I have no way to know since the footage is a couple of years old and the people who shot it don’t work here anymore.

[Ht Davis] “Was the footage originally shot in progressive mode?”
I ran it through MediaInfo and it says it’s interlaced with upper field first.
Here is the whole info in case something else might be relevant.

And fixed !! 🙂
I had the sequence set to progressive fields, changed it to upper first and it worked.
I’m pretty sure I had already tried this, but who knows… maybe I’m dumb and only tried Lower Field First.

Thanks a lot HT
