Can someone please help me? I am having problems with my export in Final Cut Pro (6.0.6). I am editing footage from a Panasonic HMC150 (AVCHD Files), filmed in 1080 60i, using log and transfer. The clips look fine while viewing them in log and transfer and from the time line, but when I export the movie (using Quicktime conversion), the final product is pixelated anytime there is any movement in the scene. I have edited these kind of files before using FCP and have never had any problems with exporting. I have tried to change the exporting settings, but nothing seems to change this! Any suggestions??? Thank you in advance!

Without knowing what export setting you used in FCP, it's almost impossible to assist.

What were your sequence settings, and what export settings did you using, including codec, frame size, and fps in the QT conversion?
 
Sorry. Sequence settings are:

Frame Size: 1920x1080
Vid Rate: 29.97 fps
Compression: Apple ProRes 422
(HDV - 1080i60)

I have tried a couple different export settings, but I first used the default settings, which were:

Compression: H.264
Quality: High
Key frame rate: 24
Frame recording: yes
Encoding mode: multi-pass
Dimensions: 478x268 (Current)

Hope this is what you need. Thanks again!
 
Correction: The pixelated affect is really more of an interlaced artefect. Does anyone know how I can fix this. It only shows up in the exported video. It looks fine in FCP.
 
When you open the exported video file in the QT Pro player, it will display the data rate for the file in the Inspector.

That's what I asked for. Not the export setting.

In addition, when you export, what have you set for field dominance?
 
When changing the canvas to 100%, I can now see the interlacing in the original footage before it is exported. There is no rapid movement in the scene, just normal, human movements. Can anyone tell me why my footage looks like this, and how I can fix it?
 
Sorry it took so long to get back, new to this. The effect was from the interlacing, not pixelation. It looks fine on the television, and I de-interlaced it for web play. Thanks for your help!
