We just got out phantom 3 and was wondering how we can make the video smooth. When we play it back it is kind of choppy?

If the video playback from the ad card is choppy, most likely it is the device you are trying to play it on. If on a computer, try a different video player. I have a laptop that QuickTime will be choppy, but if I open the video in media player it plays fine.
What are you trying to play it on and how old is it?

Few things ive discovered to get the most out of slower machines.
Use VLC player and change this setting.....
tools / preferences / inputs and codecs / x264 preset and tuning selection. change it to placebo. Hit save.
If its still stutters, time for a new computer.
As for youtube etc on the chrome browser, it uses vp9 by default which doesn't seem hardware accelerated, so force chrome to use h264
h264ify
Lovely smooth 4k on youtube after that is installed.

I had same problem with mine first time out you have to go into the video settings and change them you want mp4 if using windows computer mov if using apple also you need to change the region pal for europe ntsc for u.s.a this should sort it
Smooth 4k on youtube? Not with my internet sigh!!!
I have always sworn by VLC but I have found on Windows 10 the built in Microsoft player is actually better!!! Well it is on my 4k drone videos anyway - smooth as silk.
Yea had same problem as this first time out changed these settings and now video flawless so just giving my experience with the problem.
VLC is hit and miss
Yeah VLC can be hit and miss, i use MPC in general, but its not perfect
Yes. There is a setting in there somewhere to turn on 4k. It was off by default on the version I tried!
Even with it switched on though I find the windows player better on my 4k files.
VLC is better for everything else though.

It's not VLC,
it's not .MOV vs. .MP4
It IS recording at a high resolution while playing back on a computer that's not up to snuff.
You need to answer the questions:

You need to answer the questions:
- What video settings are you recording at?
- What are you shooting video for? (The purpose of your video will tell whether you need to record at a higher rez. or not)
- What are your computer specs and are you willing to upgrade?
