Compressing above 20k bit video

[Gyldenglad]

Hello,

When I record in 720p @ 30 FPS my raw files are usually around 30-35kbit rate, however whenever I compress the videos they seem to drop to around 18k bitrate which really put my videos below the standard I want. I've tried to add my own compression templates but whatever I do, I can't seem to get any of the compression options above 20.000 bitrate.
I have tested with Sony Vegas and with that I can pretty much choose myself what bitrate I want it to be. Although I know Corel a lot better and its easier for me to do what I want with it.

- How can I compress my files with higher bitrate? I want it around 30.000k.

Hi

For VS X5, what version are you using?
What video format are you trying to create?
What is the format of the original video files?

Try using the Make Movie Templates Manager, similar to settings when using Batch Convert, the template is saved and available via Share Create Video File, adjacent to the Custom button.

Choose Mpeg Transport Stream—Compression tab
Deselect Avchd
Set the Video Format to Mpeg2, the max VS allows is 60000kbps.
Set the frame size and rate from the general tab.

I have to say that simply increasing the bit rate is not going to improve quality that much, so don’t expect miracles.
