Okay, I have been having a problem and I need your guys help!

So, I have shot video in Canon XH-G1, in 1080i and 60i.
Everything is good and when I upload it to my computer and click it on the file on my computer the video opens and when ever there is motion like the camera pans to the left there is waves and jaggy lines. Why is this? When its still it does not do that.

I am editing it to Premiere Pro 1.5.

I clean the head before I shot and its a brand new camera.
 
Yes it does sound like interlace jaggies, furthermore the waves are probably due to your preview monitor's refresh rate. Can you post a frame grab?

Try rendering out to progressive and see if it still looks the same.
 
You might be seeing what's called "tearing" because the vertical sync to the monitor doesn't quite matching up with the video. If so, that's just the display, not the video itself, and you won't see it in frame grabs.
 
The important thing is that there's nothing wrong with the lines, and the interlaing. They'll look perfect on a TV, giving your video a smoothness of motion that progressive video lacks. You can 'deinterlace' for computer playback only.
 
Ok, thanks for all the replies.
I forgot to mention that the footage that has this (jaggy wavy lines) was the raw video when I imported it on the computer. On the preview monitor in Premiere it does not show this. I deinterlace the final product and it worked. It leaves, thanks alot. But this poses a question... when i capture the raw footage is it normal to have it? also, if I want to put it on the tv then dont deinterlace right?

From your description, it is difficult to know for sure what it is you are actually seeing. If your footage will be watched on a conventional CRT televisions, it's probably best to keep it interlaced (to preserve the temporal resolution).
 
Sorry for not making my questions clear.

After I filmed someone with my G1 and I capture it on Premiere, I go to my folder to see the raw video that i just captured on the desktop and the video has the jaggy lines/ waves, does this happen to everyones footage or is there something wrong with mine.

Usually when I exported out the movie from premiere it was the same problem with the waves but i deinterlaced the footage and its normal now.
