Video Studio X10 - MP4 render quality & settings

[Radim]

Hello,

I am trying a new VS X10 and I render 720p MP4 AHVC with 10Mbit/s quality settings.
But part of movie - transitions between images is "low" quality. I use wipe effect and fade to black.

Others have had this problem. I don't recall pin-pointing the cause but many of us gave some ideas. The bitrate may be too low for high quality. Try making transition longer so the change from one image to the next is more gradual. Try a different output format like mp4 with higher bitrate.

So what's your project consist of? Is it just video clips, just images for a slide-show, or a combination? You also mention that the quality between images is low. What do mean by that? The transitions use parts of the video or images. So you're saying that the transitions down-res, or degrade the quality of the clips or images it is between?

Is this the properties you are trying to render to?

Not knowing what your project consisted of, I threw together images, using a wipe transition between them and the fade-to-black at the end, rendered to those properties shown in the screenshot, and did not see any "lower quality" in the transitions. Another question would be, how are you viewing your created video? On your PC, if so what player are you using?

As Al stated you might increase the data rate so see if this will help. It will however increase the file size.

I used about 20 jpeg images (99% quality) - decent qualitt/tested-preview that are resampled and croped to size of output video resolution - 720p.

Result .MP4 I preview on PC, original 100% size of video or full screen in PotPlayer - http://www.videohelp.com/software/PotPlayer

I'll try the best quality also. Thanks.

Hi

Can you also set Best as Resample Quality via Settings - Preferences – Edit tab
That may also impact on quality.
