Hi Wayne

Thanks for the reply …the footage is shot by the on board cam at 4k at 30fps

When I say the original footage looks smooth it is when viewd with the SD card (btw one with good read and write speeds) taken out of the camera and inserted into a USB3 slot in a USB3 reader on a good spec PC.

The jerkiness is visible in the rendered footage even before uploaded to the net.

I get what you mean re panning the camera too quick so will try for slower pans.

Am going to try some 1080p at 60fps (cam will do 1080p up to 120fps) next time as an experiment…will get there in the end I hope 🙂

Thanks for the suggestions Wayne and Steve.

I installed the one click Handbrake Vegas script….wow that took lots of downloads and installs…but the tutorial was straightforward and all went well.

However although there are no artifacts in the render it still does look jerky.

When viewing the original straight from the sd card the movement is very smooth but the renderered file has the occasional ‘stutter’ even using Handbrake.

The Cyberlink Powerdirector 14 Ultimate I ordered should be here tomorrow so am going to give that a go…will post here if any joy.

Thanks for that Wayne …I have heard handbrake mentioned but never used it….will give it a try hopefully this weekend…will look for some tutorials on it.

Hi Steve

Thanks for the reply…yes as mentioned I rendered the full 5m vid in the 2nd link above with Sony XAVC S and this didn’t leave artifacts …although as you can see it is slightly jerky and the origninal footage when viewed looks really smooth.

I couldnt find any other render methods that would do 4K …is there another one you could suggest? particularly one that could utilise the graphics card and I’ll give it a try.

Am off out for the day now so cant reply for a few hours.

[Tom Ross]

Yes as John says thanks for confirming that Chris

Daft isn’t it?….you get a PC with a more modern ‘better’ graphics card in it and it is worse (in Vegas) than having an older one!

Oh well….will just stick with my 7 series anyway as this ‘new to me’ PC still does Vegas stuff much faster than my old one so it will do for me.

Hi Bob

Yes more frames per second for video is the equivalent of a faster shutter speed for stills.

So fast moving objects filmed at 50 FPS will look better than at 25 FPS

particularly if you press pause etc it will look less blurred.

So that’s great if watching the original footage at 50fps or uploading it to the web at 50fps BUT since it seems you cant record a bluray at 50fps and 1080p only at 29fps I wondered if there was any advantage at filming at 50fps if only burning to bluray.

The recording time on the micro sd card in the gopro is just the same if you record at 25fps or 50fps so from that point of view filming at 50fps has no disadvantage but I wonder if when rendering it may take Vegas longer to convert 50 fps to bluray’s 29 fps than if it was rendering footage at a native 29/30 fps

Will have to do some experimenting me thinks.

Hi Norman

Thanks for that….you have confirmed what I suspected….yes it will be just going to a Bluray for watching a bog standard holiday video in normal time without any slo-mo effects so will record the next trip at just normal 25 or 30 FPS.

Thanks

Hi David

That’s strange as it downloaded fine for me this afternoon…I downloaded it from Simon’s link and it worked ok…was 2.5gb so fairly big but it did download…just clicked on it now and it still seems to be still fine.

Tom

[Tom Ross]

Thanks for the info Norman and John

And thanks Simon for the link…will download it now.

Cheers

Tom
