Sony movie studio platinum 12.0 + Go Pro Hero 3 black - Settings help

[LEON]

I've got Sony Movie studio platinum 12.0 editor and a Go Pro hero 3 black, but once I edit the clips together I end up losing a LOT of quality in resolution, I've tried saving as most file types but it never comes out looking like HD. The raw clips before editing look amazing.

I use the 1920 x 1080 and 60 fps, mp4 file.

Does anyone know the optimum file type I should be using or what custom settings I need to use?

Cheers

Project>Render As

In that window you have a list of file types to choose from, click the little black triangle next to the file type you want and it will expand to a bigger list of templates, select a template you want then click the Customize Template button. In the window that appears, you want to set the settings to the same as you raw video files. If you don't know how, open the folder where they are stored then right click on one, Properties then under the details tabs you can see the Frame size (resolution) and bit rate for the video and audio.

If you have a decent nvidia graphics card that supports CUDA then select "Render using CUDA if available" in the Encode mode, for ATI cards, select the OpenCL option. The video will encode quicker. Click OK when you're done and start rendering!

Nice one thanks! I think I was just going for the biggest res possible which was just stretching the original files.

Cheers!
