Thanks you very much Tim Kolb, for your help.

The problem I have is that I export the file to an external HD and play it back via an external player (actually I use 2 to for comparison purposes, and the resulting exported file is just juddery. The original .mts files played directly (still avchd) are smooth 1080i) when also exported and [played back by my external player.)

My rendered/transcoded file are always juddery.

i’ve tried a huge amount of rendering options, and none give me smooth playback. I’d loke to use the populat .h264 codec but have tried lots of permutations of containers.

This is really frustrating.. All I want to do is edit, join and render my footage into a format that will be playable by most popular media. Interlaced is fine for me. 1080iis fine for me. It seems like it should be so simple, but sony/adobe don’t seem o have the ability to do this it seems.

I’m considering transcoding all 1080i original .mts files into Pro res files , using an external software, then importing into premiere pro. Is this an option, and can you suggest good software to do this.

I’ve also tried using a friends mac and Final Cut Pro X 10.0.9 and Compresor (Apple), but don’t understand the software fully, and obtained poor, juddery results also.

Any help woukld be so very much appreciated.

kind regards

Mike

It’s not the output from my macbook pro that I’m having a problem with, its the finished files after exporting at all different types of settings.

many thanks again, I really appreciate your time
