Videopad is an awesome program, but I'm experiencing that the output video always has judder, no matter the source or settings.
Framerate is choppy. About every second it jumps a bit.
This might only occur at high framerate (~60 fps). I haven't verified at lower framerates.
I have verified that the source files do not have this problem.
I see the following on your webpage:
MPEG video is choppy
When exporting to MPEG from VideoPad and viewing the output video in a media player such as VLC, you may notice that the video is choppy, has a very inconsistent frame rate or freezes. This could be because there is too much detail in the video or the resolution is too high.
If this problem occurs then you could try the following to work around the MPEG limitation:
Export to a different format such as H.264 AVI
Reduce the resolution of your video
Reduce the amount of detail in your video
However, with other programs, such as ffmpeg and handbrake, I can encode the same video (1080p, 60fps - same as source), constant framerate, with the same codec, also as mp4, same bitrate, resolution, everything, without getting that problem.I've tried exporting using different containers, such as AVI, and also tried H.265 instead. All results in the same choppiness.
It does not depend on which player (such as VLC) I use to play the video afterwards. Even after uploading it to youtube, it looks the same when played in their player.
Something happens in videopad that causes this (or the way it interacts with the codec). I really hope this will be resolved at some point.
Thanks.
