Hi..

I'm confusing in exporting animation video which contains many shots...suppose

I have 3 animation shots each one contains 100 frame, I render each sequence

as separate images (jpgs, pngs, targas...etc) , after that I have to compile all

images together in software as adobe premiere for example and I can add sounds,

transitions, texts...etc........my problem starting from here, after importing the

images sequences to premiere and export I get bad quality result, I know this is

codec/compression or settings problem, so can anyone who has good experience

in this point give some advises to know how to do it?:confused:

Best regards..

You're kidding right?

 

I already gave you the solution in your other thread

In Premiere go to File > Export media

make sure "Match sequence settings" is UNTICKED

in the format select "H.264"

ignore the preset

at the bottom under video make sure the resolution is the same size as your animation

check the bitrate settings. A good average bitrate is 5000. (5 in the slider) - or just leave the default

click export

 

It will "render" and encode your file. The file will be saved as a mp4 file

 

Please post your results, or if you have any further questions

Ofcourse Morne I'm not kidding, but maybe cause I don't have big experience in this part I missed some points you said before..anyway, check the print screen and tell me if I have to adjust something, after these settings I got very big file and didn't play in quick time player or media player!!..so I think I have to adjust something...also I have AF so what do u think? is it better to use than Premiere?

5000 kb/s (Slider 5) is the average for default h.264/mp4 preset, it's rather very compressed in my opinion for architectural animation, it's like TV quality. I use between 25-50 (slider) instead. I don't want the video to be double compressed once uploaded to Vimeo, but neither do I with so upload multiple GBs of AVIs.

This works great:

Some more basic information:

Even if you are NOT planning on uploading your animation to vimeo, these basic guidelines are a good general reference which give excellent quality most of the time
