vidtech help!
eta: solved by the heroic thingswithwings
So, I vid on a Mac with MPEG Streamclip for the clip-making and Final Cut Express for the vidding, and I am having some trouble! I used to make .mov clips to import in FCE, but then I was informed that .dv files were much nicer, so I tried that. Except they are all jerky and I know not why!
Here is what I'm doing right now:
Open .avi in Streamclip, select in and out points etc, then file -> 'export to other formats'*, format: DV Stream, options: DVCPRO50, NTSC, Interlaced, 16:9.
The result is pretty, but jerky. Am I missing a trick, or is my computer just not up to processing it? Rendering etc doesn't seem to help any. Is it back to .mov for me?
*I would 'export to dv' but I can't figure out how to strip the sound either there or in FCE, which is kind of a problem.

no subject
the only thing i can think to suggest is change NTSC to PAL and try that instead
otherwise i'd need to actually see the program to know what i'm working with
