Video clips "stuttering"

Zaza_from_Johor wrote on 6/2/2017, 4:06 AM

New to Magix....

I just noticed that 2 clips used in my first video "stutter". They stutter on preview and they stutter when the final rendered file is played. the stuttering happens after 10s . the stutter as not intended. it should look like a smooth (gimball'd) sped up video.

check this video

https://www.facebook.com/supercarcity/videos/1560825677340088/

The 2 clips play fine in window media player.

the 2 clips are made of 2 mp4 file sped up to 60 frames per sec. the rest of the project is made of .MTS files

the rendered file is a MP4:

MPEG4 Export (MP4):
Video: 1280x720 ; 25.00 Frames/s; H.264 2000 kbit/s
Audio: 44100 Hz; Stereo;  AAC
Size estimate: 18422 kByte

my configuration:

Windows 10 Home

i7 700 @3.6Ghz

RAM 32 GB

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

Movie edit pro 16 Plus HD

 

 

Any one knows what is the problem?

Hi

Please read this topic first.

This is a common problem, did you search the forum for 'jerky playback movie edit pro' - you will find many questions on this subject.

However without knowing the following:

  1. Do you mean in the Preview window or the finished exported video?
     
  2. Computer specification include processor make / model, graphics card used, available RAM, hard disk drive configuration
     
  3. Windows version
     
  4. Movie Edit Pro full name and version number.
     
  5. Source video format and resolution.
     
  6. Export format, resolution, preset used and any changes made to the preset
     
  7. It would also help if you indicate where the issue occurs if you post or link to an example video clip

Note: most sites such as Youtube, Vimeo etc will re-encode your video and may introduce issues you do not see on the exported file on your PC. Unfrotuantely there is very little you can do about

Hi,

I looked at the video and it looks fine to me. Where is the stuttering that you are referring to?

I see the first what I assume to be a "stutter" about 10 seconds in.

Hi

Thanks for the information.

You do not have to edit your original post - just comment again with the new information - this way it keeps the thread continuity.

. . . . the rendered file is a MP4:

MPEG4 Export (MP4):
Video: 1280x720 ; 25.00 Frames/s; H.264 2000 kbit/s
Audio: 44100 Hz; Stereo;  AAC
Size estimate: 18422 kByte . . . .

Is there a reason why the bitrate of 2000 kbits/s is so low?

In my experience this is too low for the degree of fast panning, and movement etc, to achieve a smooth playback.

Try increasing the bitrate to 4000 kbits/s - as per Facebooks recommendation here.

Thank you for all your answers.....

Just to show you how the clip should look like when it is uploaded to youtube directly (raw):

I changed the bitrate as recommended above and it did not make any difference.

the issue really happens when file is dropped on the time line: on preview and when it is rendered.

Hi

After reviewing your post and the responses to comments made there are some confusing points tht need clarfying:

Can you confirm that you are running an i7 700 processor, which is a mobile processor for laptops, or is it a typing error?

 

. . . . Just to show you how the clip should look like when it is uploaded to youtube directly (raw) . . . .

I can see some stuttering or image stabilisation effect in the last few seconds of the video you put on Youtube

Youtube will convert your video - to see how it should look like we need to see the original source video clip and the exported clip without any conversion taking place, ie upload to Dropbox and provide the links.

What were the settings you used for exporting the video before uploading to Youtube ?

. . . . the issue really happens when file is dropped on the time line: on preview . . . .

As already commented on, this is a common problem, especially if you are running an i7-700 mobile processor

and when it is rendered . . . .

I presume you mean once you have exported the video to mp4, you still see the stuttering - is this correct? Or do you mean when you rendered the timeline using the Render option?

Hi.

Thank you for the additional information and the screenshot. However, you should have obscured the Windows product ID since this is exclusive to your computer and should not be made public. Please remove, amend and then re-post that image.

Two things strike me from the information you've supplied:

Movie edit pro 16 Plus HD

This is rather an old version of MEP. I wonder whether it cannot easily handle the data stream size you are creating? (I note the MediaInfo list shows the overall bit rate as being 28.3mbps.)

the 2 clips are made of 2 mp4 file sped up to 60 frames per sec

How are you creating these speeded up files? Simply by using the speed control within MEP, or by some other external convertor? Were the original files also mp4 or, again, have they undergone some prior conversion process?

As you can see there are significant differences to your mp4 data, which makes comparison difficult because we are not seeing like for like, the YT video having a significantly lower bitrate and different codec.

Similarly the Facebook video is 720p with a low video bitrate of 1372 kbps - MEP's optimised export for web 720p is 3800 kbps.

As I have said previously, we need the original source video clip and an exported mp4 version, using the same settings as you have posted, that shows the problem, for comparison and testing to see if we can replicate what you are seeing.

It looks like that the problem are only limited to the footage that were filmed with a Samsung S6

I had previously problems when I used such files in Vegas and solved the latter using Tencoder ( in the present case there is no effect).

Here are 3 files uploaded to my onedrive (the one I submitted and 2 others)

https://1drv.ms/f/s!AtUN_JYndEj1hsojOEyOP4d500OBWA

There is no stuttering.... I even uploaded to YT (no problem) and downloaded the files again: They are still stuttering when files are dropped on the time line (when they play slowly then skip a few second backward).

Still Any idea?

emmrecs wrote on 6/6/2017, 9:34 AM

Hi. Thanks for the uploaded files.

I dropped all three on to a MEP Premium timeline and all played without problem; no stutters, glitches etc. One clip seemed to be at a different frame rate to the other two but MEP handled it with no difficulty.

Not sure where that gets us!

I'll do an Export of them in a few minutes and post it.

Jeff

EDIT: the exported file is at https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZEPt3ZNIFr9vbk1nhnwy9cmIJpcXy6n33y I'll delete it once I know you've got it.

2nd EDIT: having reviewed again this whole thread I still wonder whether the problem is being caused by the fact you are running a comparatively "old" version of MEP. My test was done with MEP Premium version 16.0 3. 66. Notice that is NOT MEP 16 but the latest "365" one.

@Zaza_from_Johor

I checked this with VPX. No stuttering. I noticed that your audio output is 44 kHz. Mine defaults to 48 kHz, which it should but does not always do this for some strange reason.

Just to confirm, Are you using MEP 16 or 2016? If 16, then is it compatible with W10? It is quite old.

Also, are your program settings the same as the export? I set mine to be the same as the export.

Hi Jeff,

Yes, but I wanted to be sure. I see in the OP's other thread that the version is definitely 16, and John EB notes that it is not compatible with W10, which may be the source of the problem.

There is a new version of MEP out today with all of the goodies thrown in. I suggest that Zaza try it out - go for the Premium version.

Hi

It is not only Win 10 compatibility, but also HD compatibility despite the name 16 Plus HD. It was pretty early in the piece and it was designed around DV and HDV which are much less compressed Codecs. I think proper AVCHD compatibility only started with MEP17.

I have MEP16 still on my old Quadcore 2.83GHz machine and it plays AVCHD at about 3 frames per second with a Half HD size preview window. Choosing Half resolution in the program settings only helps a little.

On top of that I notice from Media info that the OP's file has a GOP of N=60 meaning an I frame only every 60 frames which = complex compression. That plus a variable frame rate would mean heavy load on the system, so who knows what would happen at the "end of the pipe".
