Hi

I have a feeling, that something might be wrong with my camera. When I watch different shots from Phantom 4 pro, everything is so smooth.

But my videos always seem to have jerky vertical objects, like it was jumping back and forth as the camera (drone) moves horizontally.

But maybe it is just a feeling or bad setting... can you please take a look and say what you think?

Notice the white flag, it is not smooth at all in the end.

(the video was compressed a little when I cut it, but raw footage looks the same)



4k 30fps, H.264,
aperature 10,
shutter 60,
iso 100,
cloudy WB

Your video is as smooth as silk on my laptop. Your computer may not process the 4K video fast enough to keep up with 4K LARGE files. I would suggest shooting at 1080p and see if that makes a difference on the shaky effect you are seeing

I had a similar experience on an older Mac using a different camera shooting 1080 at 60fps. I thought it was the camera for the longest and was a little bummed. By chance I tried a different computer and that made all the difference. No more jerky, laggy video play back

Hi all, I've got a similar issues... I've shot some footage in 4K and is really difficult to edit in premiere pro (jerky + choppy in play back) is there a was to convert the footage to 1920 x 1080?

You can set the phantom to 1080p (1920x1080) in video settings, or use some converter... I personaly use FreeMake, but adobe premiere should "convert" the video too, when you render it in smaller resolution. Or just buy a better PC
