Re: GH4 video judder/strobing - a solution

Hi there. I've joined this forum after seeing your post as I'm baffled that there isnt more reports of this problem with the GH4.

Im in the UK and shooting 25p. Ive been a professional editor for over a decade so wont consider using other frame rates (maybe 24 if needed for delivery) as I know it can open a whole world of technical pain further down the line (thats a whole other discussion).

Anyway the upshot is, shooting 25fps in 4k or 1080p is giving me stuttery pans and tilts with the GH4. Playing the 4k files or even transcoding to 1080 prores gives the same results so I doubt its a system problem. That is to say with my machine anyway, I've edited with every camera format going (from 5d to Allexa) and not had this problem. It definitely seems codec related.

If I find a solution Ill let you know, otherwise someone is quite welcome to buy it from me!
