Question / Help 4K recording with macbook pro 2,3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9 + 32 GB 2400 MHz

Hi everybody,

I'd like to record some videos in 4K (not streams, only recording). When I set the output to 4K,I get drop frames in my recording. Any idea ? Thanks you so much...

Try changing to one of the Apple encoders. They use the Intel GPU

What is the source of your recording?

Thank you for your answers. The source is my camera connected via Camlink. It's 4K transmission. There are 2 alternatives for Apple encoders, which one is better you think ?

Apple Hardware encoding. But x264 could give you better quality.

Apple hardware encoding. Use MKV then remux to mp4 after the recording.

for a test maybe try
the setting in the pictures. If it drops frames increase the CRF from 10 to 15 then 20
