Moving home movie/video from mac to ipad3

Question

I have created home videos via Wondershare Fantashow.  Supposedly I can save the completed show to Mac HD and then to itunes on my computer and then to itunes on my ipad.  Steps 1 and 2 worked, but I can't get anything on the ipad.  Some step or connection must be missing.  First, when click on itunes on my ipad, I get only the store, not my personal library.  Do I need an additional app?  When I browse around on my computer trying to locate the "key," I sometimes come upon "Beth Benjamin's ipad."  At other times, I get a message that the ipad cannot be found.  Very, very confused.

Answer 1

The info screen on the ipad lists dimensions  as 1024 x 576, size 298 MB and Codecs H.264.
On the computer the same info as above shows with the addition of
Kind: quick time movie
Bit rate 127 kbps
Profile: Low complex
Video Dimensions 1024 x 570
Total Bit Rate 5486 kbps
file located in itunes>home video
extensions   .mov
At the top of the computer itunes screen the playback progress slider has squiggly arrows at each end; should they be black or blue?
In the bar beneath that, I have selected Movies at the far left and Home Videos toward the right.
There does seem to be a reduction in the stuttering at this point.  Would playing it through repeatedly smooth it out?  Is it possible that there is something "loose" in the ipad?  The stutter seems to correspond with small vibrations in the room.
