Well, doing more research into my little issue and I have located the issue which in this day and age, should not be an issue. Back in the day of the good ole CRT TV, they came out with what is called interlacing. Basically, they broadcast every other line of video at a time, but they do this at double the bandwidth. So a 30fps video is made to look like 60fps to the human eye. When you see 1080i, or 720i, the "i" means interlaced.
Well, the camera I use shoots in 60i, or 60 frames per second interlaced. This is ACTUALLY 30fps. The issue that I'm having is, interlacing is old tech and these newer editing programs don't really deal with them all that well. I did a test render with the deinterlace box checked, and yes, it is smoother, but you get HORRIBLE ghosting. There is only one way to resolve this issue, and that is with a new camera that shoots in P, or Progressive. But for a camera that I purchased in 2009, I think I got my moneys worth out of it. And it was an open box returned item when I got it lol. Unfortunately, I can't afford a new camera right now...
