Hi everyone,
I am a total amateur in digital video editing. my goal is simple - to capture some HD home video and do a little bit of editing, nothing too fancy.
I have a Canon LEGRIA HF M31 and imovie 09. the problem is, when i preview the different clips to import, they look great! i have make sure i chose "import HD video as - FULL original size". but as soon as those clips are imported in an event, there are a lot of "lines" across the image, and if i edit those clips in a project then export it, the quality drops even further. but with each steps i made sure i chose the highest quality possible.
My question is simple: is my camcorder not supported by iMovie? or i am missing a step?
i have search for answers online, and the term interlacing and progressive keep coming up. i have no idea what they mean either...
any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Wallis
