PLAYBACK ON MY COMPUTER IS CHOPPY
Choppy playback is usually not a problem with the file. If your footage
skips, one of these issues is probably the cause:
• The computer doesn’t work with HEVC files. Try downloading the
latest version of the Quik desktop app for free at gopro.com/apps .
• Your computer doesn’t meet the minimum requirements of the
software you’re using for playback.

VIDEO RESOLUTION (RES)
Video resolution refers to the number of horizontal lines used in each
frame of video. A 1080p video is made up of 1080 horizontal lines, each
with a width of 1920 pixels. A 4K video is made up of 3840 horizontal
lines, each with a width of 2160 pixels. Since more lines equals greater
resolution, 4K will deliver a more detailed picture than 1080p.
