Rendering problem with MPEG4 on Windows 7 using VS X6

[wkf94025]

I purchased VideoStudio Pro X6 recently, and have been generally happy with its easy of use and performance on my Sony VAIO laptop. I am exlusively editing footage shot with my GoPro Hero3+ attached to my Phantom 2 drone. Several times now I have experienced the following problem:

1) create a project using .mp4 clips shot at 1080p 60fps. insert cross fades and one black title box at beginning, fade to black at end. Nothing fancy.
2) save project
3) Share / Create Video File / Same as First Video Clip (.mp4, 1920 x 1080 @ 60fps, etc.)
4) successfully renders .mp4 file
5) Windows Media Player starts okay on the rendered .mp4, but a few seconds into the video, the image goes complete Technicolor garbage, with broad color bands diagonally from SW to NE. also, direct seek by clicking on the timeline results in a Windows Media Player error with the ever-so-helpful error message "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file."
6) If I repeat the above sequence, but use MPEG4 1920 x 1080 (which apparently defaults to 30fps) the resultant .mp4 plays fine, including direct seek throughout the video. Unfortunately 30fps not as crisp as the 60fps.

Any ideas?

Hi Kelly

Welcome to the forums

Hmmm

How does it play using QuickTime Player or Windows Media Classic?

From Settings have you enabled 50/60 editing

OK—Smart Render
From 3) Share / Create Video File / Same as First Video Clip

Choose the Options button and deselect Smart Render, then continue to save, does that improve things?

I do not have GoPro Hero but think Ken does, he will probably comment on this?
