OpenShot Video Editor

960p?

Asked by BobC

I'm trying to edit together several videos captured using a GoPro camera. The videos have the following specs:
- Video: 960p (1280x960), H.264, 30 FPS
- Audio: AAC, 48KHz, 128 Kbps

To avoid transcoding losses, and to take it easy on my tired CPU, I'd like the output to be in the same format. Ideally, frames not affected by transitions would be passed through unchanged.

And I'd also like all the title animations and transitions I create to also use the same format.

Can OpenShot do this?

It would be great if I could simply use whatever resolution the input video has (call it 'native') as the output format, instead of having to figure out which of the zillion supported output formats would cause the least damage to my video.

Or am I looking at the problem from the wrong perspective?

Thanks!

Hi,
Unfortunately, Openshot have not yet this possibility to not convert the output (i.e save the file without done a encodable) and the user can not create his own profile with any kind of parameters. it is planned probably for the big version 2.0 but not for the 1.4.0. You should be patient.
Thanks.

Hello BobC

maybe my answer is not relevant.
I also have a 960p GoPro
I created a new profile for my GoPro and set it as default (edit/preferences/Profiles)
1280x960 - 4/3 - 1/1 -25fps
then set the enconding format as h264 and aac
this way the output has (i think) no quality loss

Can you help with this problem?
