Re: [Avid-L2] Re: convert drop frame to non-drop

Try reimporting them, but this time, switch the field order. Import them using all three of the options if you have to. One of them should look a LOT better than the others if it's a field issue.

Another possibility is that you're screwing up a 601 shaped picture into a DV shaped aspect.

Another possibility is that it isn't the AVID's fault at all, and someone simply shot 24 fps at too high a shutter speed. If you do that, then pans are going to look like crapola because there's not enough blur in them.

It really depends by what you mean or describe as jitter. That can be a lot of things. Have you played the footage directly to a monitor from the camera... withOUT the Avid at all? How does that look?

I've suggested this to other people recently, but Trish and Chris Meyer's DVD "Videosyncrasy" is a good training aid that explains all of these weird issues that crop up between video and computers.
