Diagnose: video plays choppy after upload
Dynamic diagnostic state for this problem. Choose a file to run the diagnostic tree; the page rerenders with ranked causes and recommended fixes.
Direct answer
Choppy playback usually comes from a source FPS that the destination does not support, dropped frames after heavy compression, or a destination that re-encodes to a lower FPS. Match the source FPS to the destination's accepted range; avoid fractional rates when the destination lists integer rates.
