Hi vicki-jo -

Unfortunately, you can't customise the resolution to exactly 2560x1440 in the regular PDR interface, even though there are a couple of other profiles that go close.

You need to do it by editing the Profile.ini

There's a document attached showing how to do that, and here's a *video tutorial* on the subject.

If none of that makes sense, you can use the profile attached by either (a) replacing your Profile.ini with it or (b) copying & pastin the contents into your own Profile.ini

The PDF & video both show where it is & how to open it.

Cheers - Tony

Tony, have you had success editing a profile in ultra he? I have made a lot of custom profiles, but anything above 1080 does not play correctly. I will have to experiment more to narrow down the problem. __________________________________

Ultra he? Sorry - I'm not sure what you mean, Jaimesque.

The video produced from the profile attached above plays back fine in MPC and other players. For my own stuff, I usually only produce to Full HD, UHD or 4K - not anywhere in between - but the profiles I've made for people with specific needs have always worked (I test before I post).

Sometimes, profiles with non-standard AR behave oddly in different players.

Have you tested different players? Maybe there's some limitation there.

Sorry, auto correct got me. I meant ultra hd. When I make a 2.7k or 4k profile for my GoPro it never seems to produce correctly. I was just wondering if it works for others. __________________________________

Hi Jaime-esque -

Sorry I misspelled your name before. They say Spelling is a lossed art, & they may be right

I've not had any issues making 2.7K & 4K profiles to match the GoPro. They playback properly & show the correct properties in MediaInfo.

I know the specs have changed for the Hero 4 models, but the two profiles attached are based on some sample clips from a Hero 3. The 2.7K one was made without going near the Profile.ini (directly). I had to edit the 4K one in Profile.ini to change the frame rate from 15fps to 14.985fps.

Maybe see how they go in your PDR.

By the way, Philip Bloom regards GoPro 2.7K 60p as the "sweet spot". Here's a video he made with a GoPro on one of those "toy" drone things.
