Footage shutters when played on TV

[Anonymous]

Hi, does anyone know how to solve this issue. I’m editing older analog footage shot from an old betacam SP camera (PAL). I’m using Premier Elements 9 to edit. After burning to DVD it plays fine back on my laptop, but when i watch it on a TV whenever there is subject movement the footage seems to flicker rapidly. What is this issue and how does one fix it. thanks.

 This may be a wild guess as I have no experience with Premier Elements 9, but some authoring programmes default to the wrong field first for PAL material. When exporting for PAL try ‘Upper field first’.

Cheers Ian
