I can't sleep. Not because I am not tired but because editing a movie is driving me crazy. OK, so here is the deal. I am trying to make a little clip. I have a camera (Sony HDR-SR11) which records in AVCHD and also MPEG for normal non high-def Movies. Of course I want to edit the movie and put it on a DVD with as little quality loss as possible.Problem number 1: When I import the MPEGs into Final Cut Express, there is no audio track. Also I sort have found a workaround for that.
Problem number 2: On fast camera movements the picture of the edited movie sometime skips. It is just not smooth which it should be.
Problem number 3: Also on fast movements the, the pic seems out of sync. Someone told me it has to do with interlaced and progressive. Why is it there in the first place alhtough I don't see this when I look at the footage on my camera? And how do I change it? Again, with best quality possible.
Problem number 4: What file should I export the edited movie to? What are the best settings for the best quality? Is it possible to export the movie without any quality loss at all?
Seriously, these things have been driving me nuts the last couple of days. It cannot be that editing material, shot with a regular camcorder is impossible to edit in a good quality. If anyone can help me or knows anyone that can, please tell me in the comments.
