1440p Video Editor

[Penny Bozic]

Hi all, relatively new to elements 2021. I am recording video at 1440p/120fps using streamlabs (video game). Videos are saved at 1440p and look amazing with windows move player. I open a new project in elements, select 1440/60fps using the "custom" feature, open the timeline and then import my 1440p video. When I am done editing, I go to export, but their are no slections for 1440 and the custom box says "I must have a custom preset selected". This leaves me with the best possble option to export in, 1080 30fps.

On top of that, I have a half hour of emptiness at the end of my video. I have watched the videos explaining how to fix this with the "lost little bits of cuts, clips and stuff" to no avail. I expand to fit the entire video to the screen, selected all the empty area and deleted/backspaced to make sure there are no lost clips or anything at the end. There is NOTHING there, but still hold onto that apce as if there were (this is another story)

Anyway, im pulling my hair out and have NO idea what to do next with either of these issues. I am pretty computer savy, but can't figure this one out. So far i've been through a half dozen videos in attempts to fix, and nothing.. so here I am.

As for your input and output, I'm not clear how you were able to create a 1440x1080p60 using "custom" mode. Are you using Premiere Elements 2021? The only 1440x1080 project setting I'm aware of is for a 30i video. Where did you find a "custom" mode for creating project settings?

That said, there is only an option for 1920x1080 as a 1080p output. Although it will produce exactly the same size video as a 1440x1080, so it's your best choice for this video. (1440x1080 uses non-square pixels, an archaic resolution format.) You might be able to create a custom output setting at 1440x1080, but it will no improve how your video looks.

Maybe I mistyped what I was trying to say. I created a 2560x1440p 120 fps video. I then imported said video into my project, using a 2560x1440p 60fps preset (have also tried some custom presets). When creating a new project, I then import the video and do my work. When I am finished and I go to export, the best options it gives me (are there are quite a few) is 1920x1080p 30 fps. There is no option to export to 2560x1440p 60 fps resolution. Maybe I am missing something.

It could be my stream setup. I have the option to record and stream at the same time. My PC and game is set to 2560x1440 but I have to downscale it for Twitch to 1920x1080. They are separate (stream downscale and recording to native). I have just checked the settings and they are set right. I will run a stream test and check the recording and then run just a recording and see what the resolutions are.

Happy to hear you solved it!

I'm facing the exact issues as you do. How did you solve it all in the end?
Do you have any custom presets that are perfectly tuned that you can share?

Thanks!

Been having some trouble editing and uploading my 1440p videos from the GoPro on iMovie. Whenever i import the video, it automatically changes the project format to 1080p. I've looked at your previous thread with a similar issue, telling me to drag the 1440p/4k video to the front of the project at first and it will change the project format, however this did not work for me, and all im seeing in the menu is 1080p. Furthermore when i try to export the project, the maximum resolution is also 1080p. Anyone had similar findings?

If still no luck, I suggest that you call Apple Support and talk to the savvy techs there. They have the capability of remotely accessing your computer, that we cannot do here. Click on the Contact Support item in the upper right of this forum's screen and navigate to a place where you can enter your telephone number and have Apple Support call you back. Hopefully they will be able to resolve your issue.

iMovie supports 4K at 30 fps but not 4k at 60 fps. It supports 1080p at 60 fps but not sure about 1440p at 60 fps. If it does not support 1440p at 60 fps then iMovie would bump it to the closest resolution that it does support, which in this case would be 1080p 60 fps. That might be what is happening here.

Also, try opening iMovie while holding down the Option and Command keys and selecting to delete preferences in the box that appears. iMovie will open in a new library. Reopen your old library to get back to your projects. Now see if you get the proper resolution options. Often that will cure issues with share resolution options.

So i tried opening iMovie and deleting preferences (as you said), but that didnt work unfortunately, even on new projects. I then tried to import a 4K 30fps video that I just filmed, but this too was set to 1080p (not able to change it at all). I feel like I must be missing something, iMovie HAS to atleast support 4k.

I just got a 2160x1440 monitor to go with my regular 1920x1080 monitor, and I edit 100mbps 4K footage from my Panasonic G7 without using proxies. On my 1080p monitor, I could drag and drop 4min long video files into the library and start editing no problem and have never had any problems editing at all.

However, if I use Premiere on the 1440p monitor, the timeline freezes once I try dragging and dropping a large file but everything else is functional. I have to drag my Premiere window to the 1080 monitor before the timeline will stop freezing and start being functional again. There is a progress bar in the bottom right of the screen that says something about rendering or conforming each clip I drag, and even after the bar completes I would wait an extra 5 min but the timeline will stay unresponsive. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Changed the monitor to a 1440p and now i record my games in 2560x1440 to a 80-100 Mbit bitrate for good quality. Unfortunately now VP19 seems to struggle with editing these videos straight from my external usb3 6TB hdd..

Obviously try a sample file on your local ssd, it doesn't matter if normally that's not standard operation, it's the first variable to rule out. If you are using default NVENC new settings, you can try changing Max B frames to 1. You could turn on legacy AVC decoder. with a 12700K you don't need to use the subpar SO4 GPU decoder with 1440P AVC files created by OBS, you have lots of CPU

You should make sure Xsplit is recording in CFR not VFR, maybe Vegas could handle 1080P VFR, but not at 1440P. Also if Xsplit encoder allows you to choose max B frames choose 1. They scrub so much more smoothly in Vegas compared to recordings with 2 B frames from OBS

As Todd mentioned, the format the video is recorded in will have a huge impact on whether or not it edits smoothly. If you still cannot get smooth performance at 1440p, you can always use proxies, right clicking on the files in the project media bin and selecting "create video proxy". This creates 1080p proxy clips that are used anytime your preview monitor is set to "draft" or "preview" quality. Setting it to "good" or "best" uses the original media files. Once you go to render, the proxies are ignored and it renders using the original media files.

Also, maybe back up and look at how you are capturing your gameplay. I agree that if you must use the hardware QSV encoder you will need that overly high bitrate as machine encoders generally suck in the quality dept.

On the other hand, if you can capture at the frame rate you want using say, x264 software codec with zerolatency tuning, which is all I-P, you should be able to get as good or better quality results at half the bitrate, or around 30-40 Mbps for 1440p. That of course, will preview smooth as butter on your timeline.

Thanks @Musicvid ! @RogerS Xsplit Broadcaster has a very very very basic Intel QS settings window, its just the old CQP where i can set few presets and custom, they all set qpi, qpb and qpp, thats it. I am thinking to go back to OBS which has a more refined QS settings part with ICQ, LAICQ and the old CQ.

Did not manage to power up the computer today but wanted to respond to you fine gentlemen faster. I may solved my problem with the proxy use: just few more steps of workflow for me for more fluid preview in VP..

If you're a professional photo editor or content creator, getting a proper monitor with accurate colors can help you perfect your craft. While there are dedicated professional displays with perfect color accuracy, those tend to cost a lot, so if you don't have the funds, the next best option is to get a monitor that performs well enough even for serious photo editing. You can get the best performance by getting a monitor with accurate colors and a dedicated sRGB mode, which is important if you don't want to pay more for calibration.

Besides the color accuracy, a high-resolution display lets you see images with a ton of detail. Getting a monitor with a USB hub and good ergonomics can also improve your workflow, especially if you need to connect different devices or often share your screen with someone else. Size is also another consideration, but that's a personal preference.

We've bought and tested more than 310 monitors, and below are our picks for the best monitors for photography and photo editing. See our recommendations for the best 4k monitors, the best ultrawide monitors, and the best monitors for video editing. If you need more than just a monitor, check out the best laptops for photo editing and the best cameras for photography.

Note: We recently published our Test Bench 2.0, and we're updating our reviews to this new test bench. As such, it may seem that two similar monitors have wildly different scores, but scores aren't comparable between different test benches.
