Problem With Poor Rendered Video Quality

[kkinderen]

I'm using a Sony FDR-X3000 as the source. I have it set for 4K 2160, 30P, 60 Mbps.

I've loaded the file and accepted setting the project to the file's parameters. Properties look like this:

Original.PNG (10.99 KiB) Viewed 1036 times

Then I cut the file down to 1 minute and rendered it selecting same as project settings:

rendered.PNG (9.77 KiB) Viewed 1036 times

The things that matter seem to match and yet when I play back the cut file it looks terrible. Not sure how to describe it but. My beard shimmers, straight lines seems to crawl and stair step. I've compared both files in VLC, with the same result. The source video looks good and the rendered video is poor.

Using VLC I did a screen shot of each and cut out one of the elements. You can see from the map below how distorted the rendered version looks.

Any idea what I can check? I'm using Corel VideoStudio Ultimate 2018 v21.3.0.141. The PC is Windows 10 64 bit with 32 GB RAM and a core i7-6700K @ 4GHz. The video card is a Nvidia GTX 960.

I'm really expecting the rendered video to be the same quality as the original.

If by chance you used Smart Proxy when making the one minute video, then run it again and turn Smart Proxy off. A number of people have reported the same thing as you, and turning off Smart Proxy appears to fix the poor quality output. Corel is aware of the problem and say they're working on a fix.

Hi Ken:

I gave that a try but had the same results. I'll be waiting on a fix from Corel. Thanks.
