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.

Tech Specs: Video
VIDEO RESOLUTION (SPHERICAL)
Video resolution (RES) refers to the number of horizontal lines used in
each frame of video. A 5.7K video is made up of 5528 horizontal lines,
each with a width of 2764 pixels. A 3K video is made up of 2880 horizontal
lines, each with a width of 1440 pixels. Since more lines equals greater
resolution, 5.7K will deliver a more detailed picture than 3K.
