Sorry none of this worked out. Sounds like your footage was converted from one frame rate to another like what David said. If you post a sample video I’ll take a look but I can’t promise I or anyone else can help you with it.

Pedro,
I’m not sure I fully understand what you mean by “jumping.” Do you mean mismatched fields? This is alternative to Compressor:

That’s your problem. 60i video is not meant for viewing on a computer monitor. It must be deinterlaced. I suggest using Apple Compressor. The reason it looks fine in FCP is because the Canvas and Viewer only show one field, not both.

What are you using to monitor this on?

Really??? Sorry I missed that. Bob’s been setting people up with 1gb as well….
EDIT:
This system here is 1gb, not 10gb:
https://maxxdigital.com/shop/index.php?cPath=117&osCsid=a3f42581f7a74d52d17c3a007de86d5110gb doesn’t even use Cat5/6 cable. It uses CX-4 Infiniband cables or LC fiber.

[walter biscardi] “I would never recommend attempting Uncompressed HD on this system. It’s not fast enough.”
I meant with 10gb ethernet as oppose to 1gb.

I think it’s a great article that will help a lot of people. Couple things I want to point out:
– 10gb ethernet cards and switches are also available from Small-Tree. So you COULD do uncompressed HD. According to Zelin you can currently get 180MB/s over 10gb ethernet – not quite ideal as it uses only a fraction of the potential bandwidth, but I hear from several sources OSX Snow Leopard will drastically improve networking speeds.
– You do not necessarily need a switch. You can plug your machines directly into the server provided there are enough ports.
– Just so people are not too confused, this is technically not called a SAN. A SAN is block-level storage that requires XSan, MetaSan, etc. All fibre channel systems and some ethernet systems (that use “iSCSI”) are SANs. That’s not what this is. This is simply a high-performance Apple file-sharing server.
– Finally, this doesn’t seem to work for everyone. I myself cannot get reliable speeds and I’ve been trying to do this for 5 years. Don’t do it yourself without consultation. I believe Bob, Maxx Digital, and Small-Tree have come up with this “FileShare” branding in which they get into the terminal and tune the TCP to make gigabit file-sharing work well for video.

Try this. Go into the Final Cut Browser, scroll over and change the source clip to “Upper field first” and then drag it to the timeline and have it match settings. That may not fix it but it’s worth a try.

Lol, why is this just for me? I’m a Mac guy :).
Yeah Cinelerra’s been around for like 5 years. Remember “Linux Media Arts?” There was even a forum here on the cow for it.

[david bogie] “I have a list of FCP experts with whom I communicate regularly and the advice for HDV is binary: Use it natively. Never use it natively. The reasons for both positions are equally rational and compelling.”
Never say “never” and never say “always.” It all depends on the nature of the job, delivery requirements, what kind of equipment you have, and how much disk space you have. Native can have advantages for some projects. But if I were hiring a $1200 a day creative editor to work on a big budget project, I would not burden him or her with the sluggishness of working with HDV.
Codec aside, one should always capture at the native resolution and frame rate. Those things should be converted at the end of a project, if needed.
