Jerky Video Scene Transition

[pdmike]

Do you have an old computer? What have you chosen from the app to record in, MOV or MP4?

My computer is a couple of years old - maybe three tops. It seems to hold up OK in most respects. I haven't set the MOV/MP4 settings yet. I'll give 'em a look.

Yes. The "micro chip" can be thought of as a little hard drive. It doesn't really care what is stored on it. The only things you really care about with them are speed (faster for video is better) and size (64GB can store twice as much as 32GB). The 4k you see on them is just an easy way for consumers to see that the card is an appropriate size and speed for 4k video storage.

Thank you.

MOV containers tend to cause problems sometimes. I'd go with MP4

You may want to get this free player, not pretty but it does a great job playing just about everything you throw at very nicely.

Using the new and improved micro chip mentioned in Post 21, above, and viewing the video from my hard drive, rather than from the micro chip itself, it is actually much "jerkier" than before. WTF?

Nope. Just as bad as before viewing it with this viewer. I haven't checked yet for MOV v. MP4. Maybe that's it. I'll check.

Can you upload one so we can see what you're getting?

I tried, but can’t copy/paste. Any other way to do it?

I’m beginning to think it’s my settings. Not home now but will post settings as soon as I can.

You might as well set up a YouTube "channel".

Don’t know how to do that. Photobucket?

Photobucket will work but only if the video is <500MB and less than 10 minutes. Vimeo is another option for easily uploading video if you don't want to setup youtube.

Here are my present camera settings:

AUTO

EXPOSURE
Shutter: 25
EV: +1.0

VIDEO
Video Size: 1920x1080 24 fps
Video Format: MOV
NTSC/PAL: NTSC
White Balance: AWB (Auto)
Style: Standard
Color: Normal

SETTINGS
Histogram: OFF
Head LED's Auto Turnoff: OFF
Over Exposure Warning: OFF
3D Noise Reduction: ON
Video Caption: OFF
Grid: OFF
Center Points: OFF
Anti-Flicker: 50Hz

Anything in there that is incorrect or that could be set better? Anything in there that could have anything to do with a jerky/choppy video?

VIDEO
Video Size: 1920x1080 24 fps
Video Format: MOV

Try bumping up to 30 or 60 fps.
Try MP4 if you have a Windows PC.

The NTSC standard, runs at approximately 29.97 (10 MHz×63/88/455/525) frames per second.

I just looked up the anti-flicker settings here: https://phantompilots.com/threads/anti-flicker-settings.72241/

Basically is says, if you use NTSC, your anti-flicker setting should be at 60Hz rather than 50Hz (use that for PAL).
