but Titanfall is subject to dips in framerate regardless of horsepower . I push a constant 60 fps with an R 9 290 X , and I never use clips with shoddy framerates for my videos . Yet I ' m still confronted by desynced audio . After I fix that problem , the means to put text over video and make transitions are not made as obvious as they were in WMM . Yeah , whatever recording you do variable frame rates just don ' t work in editing software . Ideally , you convert to a post codec like DNX but depending on ease , handbrake may be your tool . So , with googles help , I have DNxHD codecs , and streamclip for exporting to quicktime in order to encode the videos to ease editing . The better choice would be an FFMPEG program . FFMPEG itself a command line item or an FFMPEG GUI . Avanti or WinFF . Shouldn ' t my video card be capable of that heavy lifting ? Yes , but it doesn ' t do the work . Nearly all codec compression decompression is CPU based , which is why you have the lag problem . So , it ' s CPU based , you may want to try experimenting first . First thing , is to try an FFMPEG variant . Second would be to go back and rerecording using a fixed frame rate . Last , you ask what do the pros do ? They use a hardware recorder and record directly to ProRes or dnx via HDMI .
