Hi pjc3.
First of all, thank you very much for trying all these options and providing your feedback. I appreciate it very much. And yes, my uploaded video is from the Panasonic HDC-TM90.
As far as I understood your feedback, the only stutter- and jitter-free playback you get is when playing the rendered video on your Dune Prime 3.0. All the other rendered versions cause some type of stutter or jitter problems on the other devices including YouTube. Unfortunately, I create the videos to share with others on YouTube or play at home on the AppleTV, so I need to find a solutions for these two play options.
For YouTube, I will try all the different video formats in PD since YouTube seems to be relatively flexible what format the videos are uploaded in. Maybe somebody else on this forum was successful with YouTube versions already, so I don't have to go through this ordeal.
For AppleTV, my best option so far is to create a MP4 video with 1080p, 30fps in PD and then run it through HandBrake with the standard preset for AppleTV. This creates a smooth video for the AppleTV, but the resolution is only 960x544. I will play with other settings in PD and HandBrake to take advantage of my camcorder 1080p60 resolution.
Another option is to return the Panasonic HDC-TM90 (I only got it a week ago) and get a different camera or camcorder with 1080p video that would render without any problems. But I wouldn't know which one to get that doesn't have these problems. Aside from the Panasonic camcorder I already tried the Sony camera DSC-HX9V, which also records in 1080p60 leading to the same problems. And I also tried the Canon camera SX230, which records in 1080p24 QuickTime format. The Canon video provided the best results on the AppleTV without using HandBrake, probably because of the native 24fps, but was worse on YouTube.
Hi FredB.
I already tried shooting at 17Mbps, which on the Panasonic TM90 is the 1080/60i format. Unfortunately, this still led to jerky video on YouTube (

Regards,
Jack
