Does anyone know why this is happening? I was editing some footage shot on Panasonic GH4 in Mov. 1920 * 1080 100 mb/s, and when I used warp stabilizer or speed/duration the footage became choppy while editing and also when exported. I did a test with footage shot in Mov. 1920 * 1080 200 mb/s and it worked fine. So 100 mb/s dosent work and 200 mb/s works fine. Why is this?

The 200 Mb/s footage is I-frame only, which may be easier for Warp Stabilizer to process properly compared to the IBP encoding of the 100 Mb/s footage.

Hmmmm interesting! I haven't shot with a GH4, so Im guessing those two different modes are actually using two different codecs? Could definitely be the difference! I thought 200 Mbps for 1080p H.264 seemed a bit insane! lol

H.264 is the only codec available on Panasonic cameras.

Hmmm. Stuttering playback after adding Warp Stabilizer can be common if you don't render the clip afterwards (select the clip and go to the Sequence menu and choose Render Selection), but it should ABSOLUTELY stop stuttering/playing choppy if you export it (assuming you're picking decent export settings that is). And it also doesn't make a ton of sense that your 200 Mbps clips aren't having this issue but the 100 Mbps clips are. There's go to be some other variable at work here. What are your sequence and export settings?

Hey. Yeah I have tried to render selection and I think the other settings

are okey. And it dosent really make sense that 200 mbs footage working

fine and 100 is not. Sequnce settings are: 25 frames/second - 1920 *1080 -

Square Pixels(1.0) - Progressive scan - 25 fps timecode. Exporting have

used h264 and match source, and Ive tried the Vimeo 1080 preset. Also tried

to change the sequence settings but nothing changes.

Any way that you can share one sample of each type of clip? Perhaps a Dropbox link or something similar?
