Using Premier Pro  CC and through the speed / duration menu i have reversed the clip and it plays back choppy but also exports as choppy. When the footage is played the correct way around it isnt choppy so I dont think its coming from source? Ive tried speeding up the clip as well to 160% to see if this would help but no joy.

Any ideas whats going on here?

Just FYI, was having this EXACT issue and found that by reversing the field dominance of the frames and using optical blending instead it smoothed it all out.

Hope that helps.

Have you ever figured this out? It's happening to me with Premiere CC and Canon 5D3 footage. 5 second clip reversed. Playback is laggy and export is garbage. When I kill the reversal, everything is fine. It's driving me insane. Thanks!

23.98 footage on a 23.98 timeline!

scboy,

If you could post a short (10-sec.) source clip (link to some hosting site like Dropbox), then others can try to work on it and see if they experience the same problem — or can find a fix.

Tried reversing the field order and using frame blend to see if that would help, but still no luck. Any other ideas?

Try doing it in After Effects?

If it is interlaced try reversing the field order.
