As suggested, starting a new topic for this.

Does anyone have a recommended output profile for Drift HD cameras. I mainly use 720p and a short sample is attached as shot from camera with no edits.
The file extension is .mov and Mediainfo picks it as:
Format : QuickTime
Format/Info : Original Apple specifications

but the specified format is H.264 (http://driftinnovation.com/camera/drift-hd/). This should have given me a clue.

What I'm looking for is to retain the quality when doing quick edits (cut, trim, merge etc) prior to a fuller production.

I set up a profile and called it "Drift" and it worked on some movies but doesn't offer any saving through SVRT. SVRT recommends it but with no saving. SVRT gives no other recommendations.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi wjr002,
I've had a go with your 1280x720 sample and with a full HD sample I have of 1920 x1080, neither triggered SVRT. I believe the issue is the audio rather than the video. I have attempted to tweak the settings to a mono profile. No joy so far.
