Virb Edit encoding export too low

Former Member over 7 years ago

During export of a 360 sequence the export level a really, really too low.
A 4k native vile is encoded at 80Mb/s

An virb edit export of the same file a the hightest parameters is a 35Mb/s. It's a value for HD resolution not 4K. And we can test all proposed value without major change (all export are at 35Mb/s). A bug maybe ?

Since every video produced by the camera is the exact same bit rate, I strongly suspect it uses constant bit rate encoding, meaning the bit rate on many videos is much much higher than it needs to be. VirbEdit uses variable bit rate encoding when it exports, which almost always reduces the file size, and thus the bit rate. It is more than possible that 80MB/s videos can be compressed to 35MB/s with no observable quality loss. In your testing, do the the videos exported by VirbEdit experience observable quality loss?
