  RE: BAD QUALITY VIDEO when exporting
  While I was experimenting with bitrates and exports, I came across this. I don't have one of Marius' clips with the trees, but I have noticed a similar effect during transitions/fades. Here's what I found: MEP Default MP4 encoder at 8692

  RE: MEP Premium selling for $60 USD on Amazon
  @johnebaker Hi John. I understand as there are no colour photo-sites, just the filters which is why when shooting and getting a custom white balance in a stills camera you don't have to take a reading from a grey area if you are in a hurry. (As I

  RE: LUTs errors
  @CubeAce Erm, not exactly sure what you're getting at Ray. Your pic 1 seems to show the video before I add "Fresh" and pic 2 seems to show after I've added "Fresh" . I agree the sky is washed out, that's the effect of using that template (LUT?). I'm

  @jak.willis Short answer is Yes Jak. The trick to keeping file sizes from getting too large or too small and not losing quality that you could notice easily in normal playback is to set them at roughly the same settings as the original settings of

  @browj2 @johnebaker Thank you John. Interestingly It was set to BT.709 but I changed it to BT.2020 for my last upload of that video using a higher bit rate in MP4. MediaInfo is reporting a maximum bit rate of 132Mb/s and minimum of 90.4Mb/s and

  RE: [Closed] HumbleBundle with Video Pro X11 for 25$ US
  @johnebaker Hi John. Maximum bitrate shows as 120Mb/s. Should I up it? I thought it may have been the rigging on the ship causing problems with it being thin in an expanse of bland colour. In fact I'm not keen of the rendering of the sky in general.

  @CubeAce Hi Ray . . . . Any ideas as to why it would almost break up like that? . . . . Educated guess - running out of available bitrate - the action in front of the sky being allocated most of the available bitrate, leaving little for the sky as

  @Scenestealer Hi Peter. What I should add is exports now seem smoother but sharper. For instance I'm not getting colour banding in a clear blue sky and little noise but ground seems to show better defined stones and grass, leaves etc. I don't know

  RE: Why are videos suddenly shortened by x seconds
  @FF22 If you think of variable frame rate as similar to variable bit rate, then the same thing will apply. Variable bit rates work where there are large areas of similar colours next to each other with little detail, such as sky. Take that one step

  @Scenestealer This is in VPX, yes? At least this is something to do during lock-down if not a key worker😆. Of course all of this testing gets thrown out with the bath water once various effects and more complex fades are applied but good to see base

  @johnebaker I think you misunderstand John. I was quoting the bit rate of the MPEG-4 source files. They are normally around 80Mbps but can go as high as 100Mbps depending on the camera settings. Example : GeneralComplete

  RE: Rendering artifats
  Here are 2 screen shots. It is hard to see, but there is a blockiness in the sky on the right picture - artifacts that I don't see in the original. I guess you have to see it rendered, and then it is much worse in youtube. What am I missing in VPX?
