Keep in mind, this sounds like you are using a point-shoot PHOTO camera
Yup. nikon p2.
so I'm sure your framerate is around 15-20, whereas NTSC standard is 29.97 fps, so unless you tell whatever program it is what your source video's timecode is, it's going to be choppy when it renders it.
whatever the hell that means...
I used Adobe Premiere 6.0 before I had a mini-DV and tried doing little videos with a Sony P&S camera and the results were horrible.
Should I even bother? The little ones ive done so far don't look as horrible as i figured they would.
