P4 Video Destroyed by App!

[Carl1770]

Good Morning
I'm not sure if I posted this correctly a few days ago, wrong location etc.
So I'm interested to know if other P4 users are having similar problems with their videos?

Great video output from P4 - destroyed in App!


Any comments or suggestions appreciated guys!

Looks like a bit rate issue. What have you set it as when you render the output? And what setting did you use on the P4? Is the artifacting visible on the raw footage?

Thanks for your input!
I have tried several bit rate settings on output, varying from 900 to 4000 but have not adjusted the profile or level settings. Still not seeing a great difference but if there is a best setting I'd say it would be a bit rate of 2000. Codec set at h.264. With this particular program (Wondershare Converter), there are only preset settings available via drop down menus. I have the camera set at 2.7k running at 25fps. The raw footage is completely artefact free.

Your output bit rate is very low for decent video although you will end up with very small file sizes - try at least 15000-20000 kb/s.

Thank you! I found where I could create a custom bit rate, up'd it to 20000 as you suggested and it's improved by miles, footage now useable.
Thanks again for the advice, very much appreciated!
