Panasonic HDC-SD9 AVCHD Camcorder and FCE4

Hi

What are the best settings for using my Panasonic HDC-SD9 AVCHD Camcorder for FCE4. I ma based in the UK so would use PAL over NTSC.

I am looking for the best overall settings for a clean good quality image.

Thanks for all your help

RC

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.5), FCE4

You'll want the newest version of FCE (FCE 4.0.1) because you'll need the AVCHD settings (I'm assuming you're asking about the Easy Setup options). You'll want to use either the 1440*1080i50 or the 1920*1080i50 setting depending on whether the footage you shot was recorded at 1920*1080 or 1440*1080.

Thanks - what about image stablization and the other features the camera has.

I'd like it to be a bit point and shoot ideally - also are you aware of any good camera stablization equipment that is compact and not ridiculously expensive for use with this camera - I'd love to get really smooth video footage.
