Well, combining advice between several threads on the web, I’ve found the fix for my noticeable problem. My problem occurred after rendering. The footage would definitely be interlaced when everything about the C100 and my Premiere Pro would suggest progressive. Here is my process.
1. Bring your footage into your working folder.
2. Import them into PP.
3. Select only your MTS files (in case you import any other footage shot on a different camera). Right click and select Modify -> Interpret Footage.
4. Under “Field Order” it probably has “Use Field Order from File: Upper Field First” checked. Select “Conform to: No Fields (Progressive Scan).
5. Drop a clip into the Timeline. If it asks you about changing settings or whatever, just choose yes. The key is to then go to “Sequence” at the top and select “Sequence Settings.” Make sure the editing mode says or change the editing mode to “AVCHD 1080p square pixel.” Now render out some footage.
If this doesn’t fix the problem, you’ve actually fixed a problem you didn’t know you had. Trust me. And if you already do this…disregard.
You can fix past videos too. Just open old projects and select all of your MTS files. Do the same steps. Then make sure to change your Sequence Settings as well.
Let me know. I’m curious.
