Something to check out II

Here’s something else,

If you captured the video via Firewire and your timeline setup is not for PAL DV video, the video will flicker on playback. PAL DV has the video fields reversed from NTSC DV video. So it you start with a DV timeline that is for NTSC framerate, the PAL video will playback with fields reversed even if the media is forced to playback at 29.97 fps.

If the video was shot in PAL and your timeline uses a DV PAL setup and upon playback it still jumps or appears as the fields are reversed, then you have two options.

1. Put the video on a PAL DV timeline and export the sequence. Edit using only the exported sequence.

2. Use After Effects to reverse the fields of the media and Edit using only the exported sequence in your PAL DV timeline.

If your computer has a video capture card, AJA Xena or BlackMagic, you captured uncompressed, you used a PAL timeline setup that works with one of these cards, and it still appears the PAL playback has fields reversed, customer service for the card is in your future.

Exporting video that has the field order reversed will greatly increase render times.
