Choppy Android video frame rate

I have recorded HD 1080p video with my Android phone, that uses a variable frame rate. I have then used HANDBRAKE to convert the video into a constant 60 fps frame rate some videos as H.264 and some as MPEG-4. Then I have imported these videos into Shotcut and all of them still seem quite choppy when played inside Shotcut. Does anybody have any suggestions as to how I can make the videos appear smooth as they are when I play them on my phone? Thanks. Brgds Christian

if not, do as Hudson advises and provide the necessary information for someone to be able to help you.

If you are on macOS, this is a known bug (not new to version 19.02.28) and you simply need to restart the app.

Thank you for the advice but not using macOS and I have uninstalled app and reinstalled but no change to the problem. As Christan stated video can be exported but a 18min clip at 30% takes about 2hrs but video runs ok on any video player once exported.

Software-based video encoding is heavy especially for H.264 (default), HEVC, and VP9. That is just the way it is based on your system, and it is not a bug. If you can get hardware encoding working, then it may go a little faster. Just click the checkbox in Export to enable it, look for the status messages in the middle of the screen for a few seconds to see what it found, if any.
