“H.264 HDTV 1080p 29.97 High Quality (a preset within Premiere) the video comes out extremely
choppy…as in the audio will play and the video will hitch along and be mostly
out of sync dropping whole sections of the video as it tries to catch up.”
The video file is probably fine…the problemmaybe with the player, but it more than likely has to do with your computer specs. My H.264 1080p files from the Canon 7d never play back continuously on my cheaper AMD Athlon Dual Core, but would play back fine onthe suped up mac.
My suggestion is to just do a test upload to youtube. They will tweak it for optimal playback on computers through their interface.
Also, for playback on the web, 720p will do just fine and it’s just easier to work with.
