Title: Optimal rendering for animation (for youtube) Post by: myrevoside on December 28, 2012, 12:22:15 AM Hello everybody! I am new to Fractal Forum and still a messing around player with Mandelbulb.
Here is my problem, just done 2 animations and the size are enormous for the amount of time they are. First animation is 30 sec in the size is 830 000 KB. The other is about 1 min and it's 1.44 GB Can you send me a screenshot of you're animation window so I can check your settings. I am looking for the optimal rendering setting for youtube quality video. PS: I currently use BMP as output format, what do you guys suggest for youtube animations? Come see my deviant art page (mostly apophisis work): http://greg700.deviantart.com/gallery/ Title: Re: Optimal rendering for animation (for youtube) Post by: cKleinhuis on December 28, 2012, 01:14:13 AM output format png
if you really need the space, use jpg after rendering use virtualdub for creating an avi/mpg/whatever with the codec of your liking bmp just throws away space, because it is uncompressed jpg is destructive only png is compressing without modifiying the underlying data Title: Re: Optimal rendering for animation (for youtube) Post by: 0Encrypted0 on December 28, 2012, 01:53:53 AM An example from my limited experience
2600 png files @1280x720 = 3.55 GB Doubled the frames in virtualdub (5200 frames @40 fps = 2:09 m:s) & output to uncompressed avi = 13.3 GB Compressed with Handbrake to High Profile mp4 (H.264, Constant Frame Rate, Avg bitrate 50000) = 771 MB .mp4 1 .5 hour upload to YouTube which converted 771 MB to: 720p = 50.1 MB 480p = 19.9 MB 360p = 11.4 MB Title: Re: Optimal rendering for animation (for youtube) Post by: myrevoside on December 28, 2012, 04:05:08 AM Thx for your tips I'm gonna go check this virtual dub. I was using a free primitive bmp 2 avi converter. |
