@raoul-beaman Hi AVCHD only supports interlaced video, 1080i, for 25 fps video, for 1080p the framerate has to be dropped to 24 fps, however you may get issues with pulldown, eg additional jerkiness on pan shots or where there s fast movement across

RE: 'Jerky' movement of transport items in finished edit.

Could it be that your 4K is recording 25p not 50p? To my eyes/brain 25p gives jerky movement like you are describing whereas 50 fps gives smooth movement. For years we've (in PAL countries) been recording 50i or 50p but now 4K cameras are on the
