Why does it jolt?

It sounds like an issue with variable frame rates -- part of the compression system that many screen recording apps use and which can cause lots of goofiness when you're editing.

Although this tutorial references a different editing program, the principle is the same. And Handbrake is still the solution.

I have read that Xsplit Broadcaster has a constant frame rate setting. If so, you should choose that setting for editing the recordings in Vegas. Or you could try OBS Studio with these recommended settings.

I've had similar render bugs before...If the above doesn't work, make sure you have updated to the most recent version of Vegas Pro, as it fixed a lot of those bugs for me.

I tried that, it still did the same, and OBS will not work on my laptop for some odd reason.

In that case, Start Here, and post your complete MediaInfo and Vegas file properties. We know nothing about your codecs and parameters.

Personally, I do not use software to record my video screen. I just hook up a video recorder (which at this time is a Blackmagic Video Assist 4k, though I used other devices long before BVA came to exist) to the HDMI output of my computer and use that to record whatever I am working on. That way nothing is slowing down my computer, nor does anything ever crash. Plus, I get to control the frame rate of the recording, which generally does not need to be as fast as the frequency of a monitor, so I end up with a much smaller file, yet of a higher quality.

And if needed, I can even hook up a studio quality microphone to the recorder, completely bypassing the need for some software to record my narration.

I'm sure more consumer-grade computers will have HDMI output in the future. Which one are you using?

Haven’t they had HDMI outputs for many years? And before that DVI, which is easy to connect to an HDMI input with a simple passive adapter or cable. At any rate, I’m currently using the MSI GT72s 6QE Dominator Pro G laptop.

Guess I'm just behind the equipment curve.

That’s OK. 😉
