Rick,

Thanks for the advice. I’m going to do just that.

I’ll have to try the 60i setting. Still, the realtor is going to post the video on the web– will 60i work on YouTube or a website?

Also, I don’t understand what SHUTTER ANGLE is. I understand shutter speed and frames per second. I don’t know if my camcorder can adjust the angle of the shutter.

Rick,

I just read this post about camcorders using the AVCHD format.

About 14 months ago I purchased a Canon XA10 camcorder which records in AVCHD.

I had to shoot a room for a realtor and mounted the camcorder on a tripod with the image stabilization OFF.

I then began panning from right to left and then back from left to right. When I played the clip back on my computer, I noticed that on a fairly regular interval, the panning would STUTTER or SKIP for a brief moment.

I don’t know if this is a problem with the camera or if it is just a quirk associated with AVCHD.

My camera was set to MXP (High quality 24mbps), PF30 frames per second, at a shutter speed of 1/60 second.

I thought this would be fine, but are these settings the cause of the problem?

My camcorder can shoot at 60i, PF30, PF24 and 24P. I am shooting for the web and thought I was doing everything right.

I appreciate your feedback/advice.

Is there a format that wouldn’t do this? There are so many PRO cameras shooting AVCHD.

Thanks.

Ralph
