Hello all -

My Info:

PowerDirector 14 Ultimate 14.0.2707.0

SR: VDE160307-04

OS: Windows 10 Home

My issue:

I have captured video using my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, with the setting at 1920/1080p and 60 FPS. I understand that not all video is captured at the exact FPS setting, e.g. "30 fps" being 29.97, and so forth. However, the only settings available for rendering on PowerDirector that are within my range are 50 fps, 59.94 fps, and 60 fps (in the video tab of the Quality Profile Setup GUI). I have tried all 3 options, and all 3 of them end up with my video's smoothness and quality being greatly reduced. I'm no professional by any means but have being troubleshooting to a decent extent where I no longer understand or think I can come up with a solution on my own (or find one by accident).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! =)

I wonder if your poor quality experience is more due to your PC/laptop specs rather than the wrong frame rate. At the end of the day, if you shoot 60 fps, you should be able to produce at 60 fps.

Smoothness: try previewing in "non real time mode" and see if that improves the jerkiness (no audio will be heard with this mode) If it does improve we will go from there.

Also, try producing a very small section to see if the jerkiness is still there after production. Panny TM10, GH2, GH4,

Thank you for the tips and for looking into my situation. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with my PC specs. While I don't have the greatest hardware out there, mine should suffice for what I'm doing.

The 59.37 (60 FPS) video clip was only 32 seconds long, and I had it produced to an .mp4 output with the 3 different FPS settings that were previously mentioned.

Please let me know if you need any screenshots perhaps of specific settings, outputs, etc? It's probably something small that I'm not seeing or overlooking.

My PC specs are:

Windows 10 Home 64-bit

CPU Intel Core i7 4771 @ 3.50GHz Haswell 22nm Technology

RAM 16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz (11-11-11-28 )Motherboard Hewlett-Packard 2AF7 (SOCKET 0)

Graphics E390-A1 (1920x1080@60Hz) 4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 (Unknown)

Can others put me right here if I am wrong, please.

take the real frame rate of 59.37 from the available production frame rate of 59.94 = .57 per 60 frames or .57 frames per second.

.57 x 32 second clip = 18.24 frames circa. 1/3 of a second in 32. Is this going to be noticeable to the extent reported above.

Have I got this wrong? Panny TM10, GH2, GH4,

Just another guess: uninstall GeForce Experience. Has caused various problems in the past. Regards,

Hi JITF & all -

I've edited various clips from my son's Samsung Galaxy S7 & Note 4 &, if those 1080p 60fps clips are anything to go by, your Galxy Edge clips have a variable frame frate. PDR & MediaInfo will (possibly) read them as 59.37 but the frame rate will vary from (say) 58.328 to 60.893. I'm assuming the clips from your Galaxy S7 Edge would have similar properties.

Robert - I won't buy into the maths challenge but agree with your statement... "if you shoot 60 fps, you should be able to produce at 60 fps."

I've edited hours of the stuff - produced to AVC H.264 MPEG-4 1920x1080/60p @ 28Mbps - & never had a problem.

Cheers - Tony
