Jerky footage with Davinci

So, in short;
The content I have edited in Davinci becomes Jerky on youtube.

There area few possibilities of course, but I want to pluck your guys braincells as well.

Option 1; FPS
I film in 60 fps, but it was rendered in 30fps. I can't seem to change the 30 fps to 60.
Don't know why or how to fix that, although most certainly it must be possible.

Option 2: interlacing
This was atip from a viewer. I can't remember turning it on, but worth checking it I assume.

Option 3: Go Pro
I'm filiming SuperView without stabilization. This was no problem in Magix, or at least nobody complained then.
But it could be a problem now, maybe with the downgrade to 30 fps.
 
Couldn't tell if the footage was jerky, you never seemed to keep your head still long enough to see, and the jump cuts meant each clip was too short to get any feel. I'd maybe suggest turning on the cameras stabilisation, even if just onto the low setting if you are going to be moving your head so much... (nothing wrong with moving your head on a bike, is important to know what is around you while riding!) :-)
 
Looks to be a stabilization issue as I’m not seeing or feeling anything that would seem like a video artifact issue - conflicting frame rates, and definitely no interlace issue. That would mean you would have to set an upper or lower Field when you were rendering your video over the default Progressive setting. Also, I have a feeling your action cams aren’t shooting in an SD mode or resolution which would be more like analogue video. That would be pretty old school, and probable a camera too big to mount on your helmet.

Hey, something I think I can help with!

For one, I'd turn stabilization on like @HippoDrone suggested, even if it's on its lowest setting.

Second, when creating your timeline, you should change the framerate to 60fps to match your footage. What I THINK is happening, and I'm not an expert, is that Resolve is dropping every other frame. I see in your YT video what I think the viewers are complaining about.

When creating a new timeline, you should un-check "Use Project Settings" and then go over to the Format tab and change the framerate there:

Now, you don't have to lose any of the work on projects you're currently editing! You can create a new 60fps timeline and then copy/paste the entire contents of the old timeline to the new one.

I hope this helps!

I also think that Davinci is dropping every other frame.
I might have missed it in one of your video's but I found a how to today.

Will try this for ure and hopefully it will fix the issue :)

I don't think I've covered that specific topic in a video, so you didn't miss anything. I'm glad you found a how-to - and you can refer to the image I posted above if you get stuck.

Good luck!

Not wanting to ruin the forum with another topic....

I have ran into limitation problems, aka some fusion effect added aren't been rendered on the end product, most likely due to CPU being overworked at 100%.

Which leads me to the next quick question.
As the girlfriend upgraded her pc, I got some of her components.
Now she installed her CPU, as it is newer. But it seems to have some bottleneck problems with Davinci.
To be honest, I never tried my CPU with the newest Davinci, so it could have the same problem.

Basically I'm curious which one should be better on paper and if it is worth the effort to change them over;
Intel - i5 8600K @ 3.60GHz
Intel - i7 4790K @ 4.00GHz

The i7 being 2 generations newer than the i5, should be better - regardless of clock speed. I have seen the same problem with Resolve, and I ended up throttling my rendering to 50fps. I did a video on how to do it, but don't recall off the top of my head.

It made a big difference in my audio quality [I had glitches in the audio], but even still, sometimes I'll get a visual glitch from a Fusion effect - I should probably throttle it slower for those videos.

I tried a solution I got handed from someone else.
But no luck so far.
The effect just isn't rendered at all.

So now it looks jerky and f-ed, it is what it is I am afraid.
