Using rpmfusion and the akmod-nvidia package reduces the hassle tremendously. Dnf update just works.

MP4  format.
My suspicion was that the video card interface wasn't keeping up with
the changes I was making (novice not knowing correct way to drive the app),
hence the look for an upgrade.
  Not committed to nouveau - but it does remove a lot of hassle with Fedora
upgrading so often?

Simpler question. Is it a fair assumption that the editing software is driving
the card capability directly or using OS calls which may  / may not offload
to the card?
