I am new in the videography / youtube world.
I made my first video.
It was shot in 1080 and 30fps with the Drift HD Ghost, and edited with KineMaster.

I'm not looking to make pro videos, however, as you can see it's studdering.

When played within the editing software on my PC, it runs smooth.

I read in Reddit that it can take a few hours within Youtube to smooth things out with uploads. Well, it has been 18 hours now.

Any tips?

Thanks for your help.

The only time I've seen an issue that even looks remotely like this is when I'd shot video at a different frame rate than I encoded it at. So for instance shooting at 30 or 60 FPS and then encoding at 24FPS for that "cinematic" look. It would sometimes end up as a video with a slight stutter, like trying to force it into a lower frame rate was resulting in extra frames being created. However when you upload to youtube I think it does a file conversion to whatever their format is, so it could be just a compatibility issue. Have you tried saving the file as a different format and re-uploading?

I've uploaded hundreds of videos to Youtube as well as dozens to Vimeo and Facebook. Your video has something that's not a normal artifact. Normally on youtube what you might see is that the HD version isn't available for a few minutes to a couple hours. That presents itself as just a lower resolution version of your video. Not anything like what yours is showing.

You should be able to view the video on your PC before you upload it. I would expect that you would see the same stuttering issue there. Don't view it in the editing software, use something else (I'm not sure what to recommend specifically as I haven't used Windows in 20 years or so).

Try different software. Again, I don't know what the new hotness is on Windows, but in terms of isolating the problem you can try *anything*. Don't spend a ton of time, just put together a video with 10 clips strung together and upload it to youtube. If it works, then you have a very strong indication that the problem is KineMaster.

That should get you started.

Thanks for the help/suggestions. Some things you said, as well as a conversation with Zzz, had me look at my upload settings again. There was a slider bar for Bitrate, that at first glance, appeared to be a notification/indication of what it was. What was not intuitive to me, was that this Bitrate bar was slideable/adjustable. So, I slid it up from 8mb/s to 25mb/s, and re-uploaded the video.

All is well.

FWIW, 8 is normal for HD@30fps (which your video is). So, even though your problem is fixed, that was likely not the issue.

you can use kinemaster pro video editor at https://techbigs.com/kinemaster.html, to make your video even more awesome.

Best is subjective, but you won't go wrong with Premiere Pro. It's very capable, very popular and hundreds of tutorials are available.

I'm using Davinci Resolve 16. They now have 17 available but I'm not sure what the differences are. Best part is you can download a fully functional version for free. No strings attached.
I slapped this video together a while back.


I've still got a ton to learn but it has been fun.
