Cheers for advice, but actually tried a good few variations where I de-interlaced (trying both regular de-interlace and tmts smart de-interlace) and these too were poor quality and showed similar problems.

But will give de-interlacing another go if you reckon it might be the answer

Actually have been trying switching the sequences to 108025p, and it’s looking a bit better. Thanks a million for the advice there. Still some dodgy pans but i guess I can just cut around them in future. As it happens, it’s usually the slower handheld ones rather than the fast ones that become staggered.

Odd thing is when I’m watching clips back in the video preview any stutters aren’t noticeable, but once it’s down in the timeline it starts getting worse. Then once it’s exported it’s worse still. So I guess I must have shot in 25p as a happy accident, though I have a memory of 1080i50. Usually I’m pretty clear on these things but this shoot was hectic.

Actually just checking if it is 25p, then it wouldn’t need de-interlacing would it?

Thanks again for your help Shane and Tom
