    AMA files import jittery


    I was given media shot with a Canon XH A1 then loaded onto a 1TB LaCie drive with a MAC computer.
     
    I'm working with Avid MC 5.0.3 on a laptop PC, and was able to link the files with AMA immediately (I have MacDrive on my PC).  Problem is, video doesn't play smoothly.  My project settings are 1080p/29.97   Ycbcr 709    1920x1080.  My PC does not have Firewire 800.  I do have a small Firewire 400 port (I go Firewire 800 out of my GTech drives, Firewire 400 into the computer for my other projects). I linked using the USB cable. If I import the video onto my desktop, it plays fine - but once I go to my external GTech it's unusable.
     
    How should I adjust my settings to get smooth video?  I tried to transcode (too laborious for all the media I'm about to get) - and it played smoothly, but out of sync.

    First of all XH A1 is HDV.

    You need an HDV project (1440x1080) and not p but i.

    AMA HDV?

    You need to import that footage in a HDV project.

    What type is the footage?

    When I work on the laptop I use only e-SATA for editing.

    The cameraman put the video (interview) on a new small LaCie 1TB drive that has no e-SATA out

    Rigth click on the files and transcode them to DNxHD 36.

    It's even better than HDV but this will be a Full raster (1920x1080).

    Or you can go up to DNxHD TR-120 but I am not sure your USB drive will follow.
