if the video plays back fine in the device that took it you need to look elsewhere.
since it plays back fine in your editor then it’s clearly not the camera, editors dont invent frames but players may drop frames if they cannot keep up.

as for the original question, i didn’t think the gop was a fixed value (happy to be educated otherwise) i was under the impression that if enough was changing you may only get I frames so unless the pan is too fast for the creation of these you should get no jumps.

very new to video so could be way out, but trying to get my head round it all, tell me if i’ve got it all wrong.
