VS 2019 Issue with GOPRO 7

Post by locascioa »

My apologies, I am relatively new to video editing and this forum.

I have an issue when importing MP4 videos from GOPRO 7. I do NOT have this issue when importing from GPRO 10. Please note I am NOT mixing these two videos in the same project. I am just using them as examples of what works and what does not.

When I review, edit, or share (export) using Video Studio 2019, the video flutters terribly (loads of missing pixels).

Here are the attributes of my GOPRO 7 file (which displays and renders just as poorly):

NTSC drop frame (29.97 fps)
MPEG-4 Files
24 bits, 3840 x 2160, 29.97 fps
Frame-based
H.264 High Profile Video: 60000 Kbps
48000 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo
MPEG AAC Audio: 48 Kbps

Here are the attributes from my GOPRO 10 file (which displays/renders perfectly):

NTSC drop frame (29.97 fps)
MPEG-4 Files
24 bits, 3840 x 2160, 29.97 fps
Frame-based
H.264 Main Profile Video: 44980 Kbps
48000 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo
MPEG AAC Audio: 48 Kbps

I see that the GOPRO 7 is H.264 High Profile Video while the GOPRO 10 is Main Profile Video. I am open to any and all suggestions.

Welcome to the forum!

Oddly enough, the Properties you give for the Hero 7 video in theory are better than those from the Hero 10. H.264-High is normally better quality than H.264-Main. and 60000 kbps bitrate notches that up a bit further from the 44980 bps of the 10. High as the name implies gives the highest quality but at a lower bandwidth than Main or Baseline. But you get the opposite result.

I am wondering if you have tried matching the output settings in VS for the Hero 7 video to the same or similar properties as those for the 10. It sounds illogical, I realize, but who knows until you have tried? So with a piece of Hero 7 video in the timeline, on the Share page, go to the MPEG-4 tab and choose the 4K 3840 x 2160 at 65 Mbps setting. Then click on the + sign to the right of that box which allows you to customize the settings. Change them as shown in my screenshot of the dialogue box which comes up for the customization. Then click the Start button...
