Help with animation sequence.

[BN11]

Hi

I've been rendering out 1280x720 png files from Max / Vray to piece together in Quicktime Pro. I'm saving the output as .mov 24fps with H264 High quality settings. Unfortunatly, unless its played on a very highend PC, the animation is very jumpy (especialy on camera panning).

 

In Quicktime, I've changed the data rate setting to streaming (instead of download) which helps a lot but was wondering if there are any recomended settings mbits/sec ?

Or should i use a different codec etc ??

Quicktime's provide some of the highest quality animations but they do it at a price which is larger file sizes. You should try saving it as a .WMV, the quality won't be as good but it will play back much better.

Thanks for the advice Maxer. I can only save out from either Max Design RAM player to AVI / MOV or import to Quicktime Pro.

WMV is not an option unless there is some free software available that does this.

 

Not had a problem with playback until now, just the 1280x720 size is causing problems

 

......just had a quick search, is Any Video Converter any good ?....this seems like it can save off to lots of different formats.

 

Thanks
