Export of Adobe Media Encoder CC 2015 H.264, very poor quality compared to VLC

Hello

I do a few screencast with VLC Media Player (www.videolan.org, free and open source), it picks up my office and exports the file to H.264 format at 25 fps. Can I change this in the body and also to export the video in the H.264 format.

All right, but... The original video files of VLC has a good quality with a very low rate (200 Kbps), and when I try to export the edited with the same flow of SOUL video, the quality is just horrible! Artifacts, fuzzy, with a few blocks... Even if I export with a rate over 20 times higher than the original file (4400 Kbps), the quality is not as good as the original.

Here is a comparison between the export of three:

Can you explain to me why there is a big difference even if the flow is multiplied by 20? Here are the settings of export (with a rate of 400 Kbps):

Thank you very much for your help and please excuse my bad English

Any time you take a highly compressed encoded video and then re - encode at such a low rate, it will look bad. In this case, your examples are not surprising at all.

I don't know how VLC it coded in the first place (color space limited?), but I know that for some that you'll never get a good video performance with such a low flow and a high resolution - especially since you're re-encoding video already highly compressed.

As a suggestion, regardless of your final settings, 2-pass encoding will give you a slightly higher quality for your budget to flow. 1 pass encoding in my experience is generally better for situations where you are not worried about bitrate, or when you need to code something quickly.

Good luck with your efforts!

  • Adobe Media Encoder CC 2015 slow rendering time

    Hello!

    I'm new to video editing in general, but I'm quite intimate with the PC hardware so here.

    Specifications:

    • The stock of 4770K i7, no thermal regulation speed
    • 8 GB 1600 MHz CL9 DDR3 RAM
    • GTX 780 + 170 MHz clock and 110% limit/95 degrees C temp power target
    • Driver 368.39 used
    • 3 x Samsung 840 EVO (no raid)
      • Windows 10 64-bit running off SSD1
        • PE/AE/SOUL installed on this drive
        • Cache / Scratch areas on this drive
        • Images under development
      • SSD 2
        • Games
      • SSD3
        • Games

    I save images using shadowplay NVIDIA from a 75 Hz screen 2560 x 1080. The output file is a 1920 x 1080 60 fps 35Mbps bitrate H.264 MP4 file. (1920 x 810 with black bars).

    I would add that sequences Adobe Premiere elements 14, do any editing that I have to do, and then export it to a file of bitrate MP4 1080 p H.264 12Mbps. The rendering process usually take around 10-12 minutes to 6 minutes video.

    I then add this file to output in Adobe After effects CC 2015, create a composition with drag and create a button, add a few layers of text and export it via Adobe Media Encoder CC 2015 (AE supports native H.264 from what I understand) with the SAME PARAMETERS. But this time, and I estimate that I type here, render times are 40 minutes.

    I ran a few tests and in the course of the first to make the CPU turns to about 80% CPU and the use of 1.8 to 2 GB, as I watch often some youtube in the meantime, so that understandeably not 100%. However, to the course to make AE/SOUL, le CPU CPU remains at about 30% CPU and 1.8 GB ram usage. With the help of the Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA) I expect to see more high on my GTX 780 loads, but he is 2-3% of load, so anything.

    Since my render outputs are (to the best of my knowledge) identical between the EP and shall return AE/SOUL, it seems that the use of material by SOUL is in this case. Other posters have suggested that some effects require the previous frame to be returned to pass, but I have not used such effects, are limited to simple text.

    So what's happening? I would appreciate any insight you have on this and I stand ready to provide more information that you need.

    Kind regards

    This would be ideal. In my freelance studio, I have three separate units

    3. Cache (if there are different types of player, it should be faster than you [I know your are currently all the same, it's more for future fans forum])

    It will probably not help much for the rendering speed, but it should help when you're interacting.

    Before moving on to something else, I want to explain what I'm doing with text. I add text and overlay video, with sometimes a few very basic motion tracking (I can't forget this feature if I need). To the best of my knowledge, PE lets just add a black screen with text over time, like on a Blackboard for example. No text overlays/over-the-video (if it has no meaning...). So respect that, Premiere Pro have these features? If so I could make the switch.

    Certainly, you should stop using the Premiere Elements and start using Premiere Pro. Not only it gives MUCH more flexibility in the work, but you can layer objects of type as much as you want on top of your film.

    He was also transparent enough with AE. By example, if you have a shot that you want to add text, you could cut the part that would have text and simply right-click and choose "replace with After Effects composition. That images will be replaced with a dynamic link to a model of EI that already contains the images that you are handling. You save your AE project and results will be displayed immediately on the first! It's really convenient. If you want to keep this direct link, you can. Or if you are sure you are finished with AE work and wants to read smoothly at first, you can choose to make and replace it. It restores an intermediate file to AE and replaces the model tied first with her. VERY useful feature.

    If you keep track of movement, you probably want to use AE. Although you can make an animation in Premiere Pro, AE is much more suited to do. And if you start to get really fancy, you probably want to do some rotoscoping too.

    Corentin Robin wrote:

    I understand that EI requires much more accurately, and the way you explained it enabled me to understand one of the big question I had with her, which was "why reading in real time is so difficult in AE? You answered that perfectly, cheers!

    There is much more detail in the fact that I could get! Basically, AE must first build a cache, and then he reads. Maybe I should have said that. It is even simpler and shorter!

    On the issue of compression, I realized that the work of a compressed codec is not ideal. My gross output of Shadowplay file was indeed H.264 because I believe that is the single output file, it allows. I don't think I can do without shadowplay for now because it has unique characteristics which cannot be replaced:

    • For extremely low hardware with Nvidia drivers
    • Ability to retroactively save a video after an interesting "keep-worthy" event, to avoid recording 24/7 in the hope of something interesting

    Those who do not sound like some very useful features. Just make sure that you get quality settings in the codec to achieve a data rate as it allows.

    Corentin Robin wrote:

    Also, to continue on the issue of compression, I got mixed responses regarding this. Some, like you, would say that working with H.264 sacrifices quality and performance, but some say that it is not a problem since the youtube compression will be severely disfigue the file in any case.

    YouTube can recompress, Yes. But if so, it adds ANOTHER layer of compression. That would be an argument even more important to preserve the quality of your side as much as possible.

    Corentin Robin wrote:

    I think my question would be: I would win a much higher quality using Fraps/Dxtory where I can control the settings of the raw images (keeping in mind I lose the comfort of ShadowPlay) even though the compression of Youtube should (I think?) disfigure this film?

    I think that the benefits of ShadowPlay outweigh the concerns that I had about compression in only one step. I still say don't do any other steps in making H.264s again and again that you transmit your project between applications. If you need to make something (you won't have to if you start to use together the Premiere Pro and AE), renders an intermediate codec until you create your deliverable.

    Corentin Robin wrote:

    So, keeping in mind of all of your suggestions and the constraints I have / has chosen to conform to, I should:

    • Have the work files on a separate disk, with areas scratch on this drive or free
    • Replace PE PP to eliminate the need for the AE and have only a single record
    • Since a single rendition is necessary, it is therefore more a real need for an intermediate codec low compression/lossless

    Yes. Although, you can still use AE, you have eliminated the need to make the intermediate files if you use Premiere Pro and AE set.

    In addition the Dynamic Link workflow I mentioned, you can also (once you have finished your editing in Premiere Pro), your Premiere Pro project import into AE. Use import > import Premiere Pro control project. She puts your complete sequence in AE with each cut on its own layer. You really need to do if you started to do really complex with your AE work if.

  • direction of Adobe and adobe media encoder cc 2015

    Hello

    When I downloaded adobe direction also adobe media encoder cc 2015 has been downloaded without selecting it. Why?

    also, what is the advantage of the direction of adobe because I do coding for video in direction?

    Thanks in advance

    Adobe media encoder lets you batch encode. For example if you are working on a bunch of projects that can all time several minutes to several hours to encode them set in a queue that the Media Encoder will make all.  Also if you have a big enough computer man you can be coding projects he was working on a new one first.  I use the queue feature a lot since I'm often having to create multiple versions of a project with slight variations. And rather than export, make the changes, export the next, etc. etc., I can just add each variation to the queue and let the process out without waiting to complete. Hope that makes sense.

    He has a bunch of other useful features, but it's the only thing that I really need to.

  • Audio damage when the file is exported in Adobe Media Encoder queue?

    Hey guys

    Hope you can help me with my problem...

    I'm fairly new work in After Effects, so I might have too have it explained in detail.

    I am currently working on several animations for the customer, where I did the visuals and got audio lying elsewhere...

    There have had no problems with the audio before the lengthening...

    When I play the audio (wav file) new in Quicktime format, there is no problem at all - it's the same for when I play the audio in AE, no problem either...

    BUT when I export the files through Adobe Media Encoder queue (h:264 - mp4) audio is corrupted and when played in Quicktime,.

    the last seconds is played at least twice, just to repeat... I tried with 2 of 5 files, and both were corrupted, with the same error in the end...

    I can't know if the files are corrupt (the guy who fixed them) in a way that he doesn't ' watch that "when files are exported through AMECQ...

    Or if I just do it wrong... I worked at AE for about 5 months, so I don't know yet of all the parameters, etc...

    Hope you can help because it is an urgent task and there is no one else in the office that I work, knows nothing about AE... Haaalp!

    Thank you

    When I go to export and the Adobe Media Encoder queue I get this message: Adobe Media Encoder is not installed. Please download and install it to use this feature. Go to https://creative.adobe.apps

    But the thing is, SOUL IS installed. I even uninstalled and reinstalled SOUL CC 2015. Is it possible to link these two programs? I know that I'm missing the obvious answer.

    I just downloaded ALL the new 2015 CC updates yesterday (06/17/15). I'm not using first CC 2015 because I didn't have time to put in place the way I still love.


    I appreciate any help you have. Thank you!

    To the queue of Premiere Pro to the SOUL, versions must match between these applications.  Thus, you need to install the first Pro CC 2015 in order to SOUL CC2015 queued.  First Pro CC2014 links only to the SOUL CC2014.

  • Export from Adobe Media Encoder Mac AVI

    I would like to export the files AVI of Adobe Media Encoder (CS5 or later version) on a Mac running 10.6.8 or later. I am able to purchase codecs for Mac to do?

    AVI is not a codec; It is a type of container (more precisely, it is the breadsticks for video and audio in the video for Windows system). You cannot export directly to AVI from Adobe Media Encoder on Mac OS.

    What if I need an output to AVI on Mac, is to create a QuickTime (.mov) movie lossless encoded from Adobe Media Encoder and then worked for QuickTime Pro to convert to .avi.

  • Blue mount when you export images via Media Encoder CC 2015 Lumetri

    Hi all

    I have a really weird issue involving images with a Lumetri applied LUT and export through Media Encoder. Rendered images will come out with a massive distribution of blue color. I use CISC-c of a MkII C100 and application of color Lumetri with a LUT and then a few basic correction (no creative effects). There is no other effect applied to the images, and the exported result is not equivalent to the images without the applied LUT (so this isn't like ME is just without taking into account the effect). Export directly from the first results in video correct research, as does the export through ME without the applied LUT.

    Images of example (as it appears in the first and when you export directly, first and then when exported from Media Encoder with the color cast):

    direct.pngmedia_encoder.png

    I'm under Premiere Pro CC 2015 (up to date as that is to ME) on Windows 7 64 bit Pro, Intel Core i7-4910MQ, 32 GB of Ram, Quadro K4100M (362,13 drivers). I can't say with certainty when this problem first arose, partly because I am not using lut for a long time, but it was certainly past at least a month or two. I tried searching online on this subject, but the only similar thing I came up with that was of CS5.5 and given workaround solution was to place an effect of cropping on the video, which I have tried without success.

    Someone else has experienced this or has any ideas please? I can export directly from first as a solution, but it's not ideal at all because I can't move on to other work while it exports.

    Thank you very much

  • Troubled video export - CC animate Adobe and Adobe Media Encoder

    After you have created a simple animation in Adobe animate CC, I want to export to a video file. Given that the export will result in one. MOV file, it requires Quicktime.

    But I get messages from the CC animate and Adobe Media Encoder that the file is unusable, see attached screenshots.

    export_movie_error_Media_Encoder.PNG

    export_movie_error_dialogue_box_after_export_Animate_CC.PNG

    output_warning_export_movie_Animate_CC.PNG

    Is it because that I Don t have Quicktime installed on my computer?

    And one more question: as Microsoft announced that Quicktime player is a risk to security, how can we, who uses a Windows platform, use CC animate it s potential, if Quicktime is required as support software?

    Is it perhaps other ways to convert your animation animate CC for a MP4 or other formats, to breast to animate it CC?

    What other software do I need to convert a video animation file?

    Hardware and software:

    HP laptop

    Microsoft Windows 7 Enterprise

    Intel Core i7 - 4800MQ CPU 2.70 Ghz

    16 GB memory

    How works the video export is incredible. It can control how the code real time based animations are rendered. It is not surprising that he needs QuickTime to render so well. I think that for now you don't have a choice but to install QuickTime.

    The latest QuickTime Player may have security problems may relate more to XP users. The issue in the news was reported in November and January, Apple released version 7.7.9, to deal with the issues who read as they are the same ones. But this version is not compatible with XP.

    As you are on Windows 7, you can install the 7.7.9 version and be pretty up to date with security patches. If new questions rise, and suppose that Apple do not release a patch, make sure just that QuickTime is not configured to be Media Player by default and not go search the web looking for examples of QuickTIme sequences that are on questionable web sites.

    In your Animate/video workflow, you have no reason to open QuickTime Player itself, or to be sequences QuickTime viewing in a browser, so I'm sure that you'll be safe.

    Another tip, the default export quality is average. If you put this line of code in the first frame of the timeline:

    internship. Quality = "best";

    the video quality will be much better. In addition, putting bitmaps to be lossless and allow smoothing. Even if the SWF from the scene becomes too demanding play, the exported video will be perfect.
