Re: GH2 Very shoppy

That's a tough one for me, I can't tell what it might be, someone will pop in that might understand the cause.

You need to tell us what your settings were when you recorded. The problem is likely because of your settings in Premier. I use Vegas so I cannot tell you how to match properties or to render to the correct settings.

Make sure your properties for the project match the footage, for one thing, if you haven't already.

Re: GH2 Very shoppy

I can't stick around now, off to a wedding, but let's give it some more thought, and maybe by this time tomorrow we'll have a solution.

It's not your camera, I feel it is Premier for sure, but I could be wrong. Open box is usually fine, and hopefully yours is fine too.

Re: GH2 Very shoppy

Fully agree with Jeff, almost definately your settings in Prem. Does the clip play back ok through the camera. If it does the camera is fine.

Re: GH2 Very shoppy

My playback is choppy in Vegas -- but that's because because I have an old, slow Vista machine.

Your problem is probably not the camera -- more than likely it is a combination of your computer's limits and the requirements for decompressing the processor-intensive AVCHD codec.

I am 99.9% sure it's Premiere. Choppy and pixelated described my AVCHD playback in Premiere before I built my new machine with an i7 quadcore processor and GTX 470 video card, plus lots more RAM. Now it's smooth as silk.

If you don't want to or can't upgrade your pc right now change your settings in premiere to preview at low quality.

That could be the problem -- the DSLR sequences are all for progressive frames, and expect h.264 encoding in a MOV container.

Try to put the GH2's MTS files into the appropriate AVCHD sequence in Premiere (probably the AVCHD 1080i30 (60i) sequence).

Re: GH2 Very shoppy

Just for anyone else having problems like this, it would have to be the way you are importing video into your editing program. Importing as LowRez is actually how you can cut very HQ footage(4k) then master on a machine i.e. Smoke.

But everyone should really pay attention to the 'import settings' on any Editing Suite. Bottom line, you might not be getting most out of your footage.
