I've been recording my projects in 1080p for a long time because I find it easier to work with while editing and I usually don't need 4K resolution. I decided to switch to 4K 30 FPS for a project I did this week and now that I'm watching the playback I can see it not nearly as smooth as 1080p footage. This doesn't make much since to me, there should be no difference in the smoothness of the playback. I don't think it's the codec I'm using to compress the footage, H.264 is pretty standard and the presets make it virtually fool proof. Before this last job I updated the drone and controller to the latest firmware, when I was out in the field I very briefly saw a message pop up on the screen that said something like encoder error. This was the first time I've seen this but I have a feeling it may have caused this problem. Has anyone seen this behavior before?
