Jagged test footage

[Sean Smith]

I shot this over the weekend using my HPX-500 at 1080/60i. I imported it both through drag n drop and P2CMS and I get a jagged spike line on my footage. I also used Raylight to make a proxy and AVI and every time I get these spikes. I do not see the lines during small and full screen playback using P2 Viewer. I am editing on Vegas 8. What am I doing wrong?

are you playing back at high quality with raylight? what rez is it when imported? are you removing pulldown on import or keeping it over 60i

It was a playback issue. What confused me was the result of the high quality (blue) playback. I expected playback to be more blocky in quality and frame rate as detailed in HVX Bootcamp 2 - Raylight section. Instead I got jagged spikes on the blue setting. Problem solved.
