I'm having serious quality issues trying to edit HD video from my new Panasonic. The original uploaded video is fine but as soon as it's on the PD timeline, the quality is degraded, especially with things like railings, roofs, boat masts etc. which flicker to the point of being unwatchable. I've disabled the hardware accelerator. I've checked the DVD output quality which is also poor, so it's not that the preview window setup is wrong (I have it on the high quality HD option). As soon as the clip is on the timeline, poor quality!!

I've had a trawl through other posts on this Forum and the following info may be helpful to my cause:

The display adaptor on my HP PC is NVIDIA GeForce G105M and the driver 8.17.12.7600. I'm not very techie minded so don't really understand what this means, but I'm willing to try and learn

Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks.

Hi

Welcome to the forum

I'm not sure why you are experiencing these problems but I am aware of problems with the NVIDIA cards.

Here's a link to a dedicated thread in the PD11 forum.

All the best

Thanks for that. It seems mainly to be talking about PD11 whereas I'm using PD10 but if it's the same problem, looks like there's not much to be done until a fix is found!
