So as some of you may know, the codecs and such that things like phones and drones use is very taxing on hardware in ANY video editor no matter what hardware you have.

As of now, the best way I know to not have drone footage playing back in 5fps is to render it out, then put it back into your editor and itll be fine.

Is there any better way to do this? As the current renders for some drone videos take 50 mins.

There are setups that allow you to load the footage onto a secondary pc in a folder. This then notices it and starts converting on the secondary pc to the desired quality. Then you load it on to the editing pc and start working.

The only solution for you is to either keep working with the 5 fps or do...

1. Better cpu
2. Convert to a media format that your editing program prefers to use (usually these are the bigger less compressed ones).

What are you using for software and whats the file extension of the file, bitrate, resolution, framerate,... I might be able to find a way then to make it smoother.

Sony vegas pro doesn't really like mov files. I recommend you transcode it to another extension to make it easier on the program and maybe even lower the bitrate a bit( not to much you want to keep the quality). 4k 60fps is very intense to work in and render out. So first try the transcoding and see what it gives. Getting 30 fps is hard to do when working on those large files and sony vegas pro 13 doesn't really like 4k editing all to much too for some reason.

Well thing is, I rendered it out using a modified AVC/AAC preset (MP4) After the 50 minute render for the 5 minute video, after I loaded it in as the mp4, it worked flawlessly, sony vegas (or atleast with my 6700k) can handle 4k60fps editing

But most transcoders that I have worked with (handbrake, a custom ffmpeg transcoder etc,) take almost as long as a real time render in sony vegas, so not too sure if that would work out well.

The only solution for you is to either keep working with the 5 fps or do a first render to mp4 so that the bitrate is lowered (the conversion you use lowers it most likely to a workable amount). Or do a setup like mentioned above.
