Jerky iMovie video

Hi All,
I never had a problem with jerky videos until I started to make longer videos...

If you watch my videos on Nepal you'll see that they are jerky in parts.. I've looked at the Apple Support forums and they have mentioned all sorts of things such as iMovie not supporting particular formats. I've used Handbrake, iSkySoft, BlueXFree to convert to various formats such as MOV, MP4 etc all with different settings but my videos are still coming out jerky.

My camera is the Panasonic Lumix G2 and it has AVCHD and Motion JPEG formats.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Would it go away if I got to Final Cut Pro?

Thanks
 
iMovie does support AVCHD so you should not have a problem editing. Are you saying the your video's are jerky after you encode them for upload?
 
Hi Greg,
The videos are jerky when they go into iMovie but become even more jerky after the footage is exported as the final version!
 
I am not experienced with iMovie, but are there any weird preset animations/ stabilizers/ transitions set as default for these clips? I've problems with default presets before, that might be your problem.
