Avoiding skips and stuttering in videos Quality issues in video recordings, like a stuttering video track, or skips in audio and video track, can be caused by high computer workload or insufficient computer resources, by excessive video image sizes, or by a wrong video encoder being used. Try the following points to improve the situation. If some of your videos happen to be jerky you can try out some things to avoid stuttering and gaps in future: Do not use other programs during the recording to avoid processor workload. Consider to stop programs running in the background, such as messengers. Decrease the size of the video image and avoid to record in full screen. Choose a lower quality setting, or a smaller resolution. The smaller the window, the lesser the required processor workload. Select the conversion profile Universal, videos for itunes, Xbox, PS3 (MP3/MP4). This conversion profile is well suited because it converts videos quickly and with less computer capacity using the MPEG4 H264 Superfast encoder. Therefore, this conversion profile is best suited for video recordings. Try to record the video on a faster PC with more working memory. The working memory of your PC might be too low for a satisfying result. It might work on another PC with more working memory.
