  What’s going on with render?

  Posted by Ron Whitaker on April 22, 2012 at 9:40 pm

  I have a video I’m rendering that’s going to simply be used on the web.

  I recorded it with a Panasonic GH2 at 24fps (AVCHD). I also used a second camera, a Kodak Playsport, which records at 1080p at 30fps. I wanted to use that for a different angle to give the final video more visual interest.

  My Properties text box in SV has the following settings:

  

  My Render As text box has the following settings:

  

  When I play the rendered MP4 file, it appears a bit choppy and the sound of the person speaking is slightly off.

  So, I opened that MP4 file into a program called MPEG Streamclip, and simply exported the file to MP4 again, this time choosing the codec I want (H.264–and why can’t we do that in SV?!), then re-render it and it comes out MUCH better!

  What’s going on? Does SV just have a crap rendering engine, or am I doing something wrong?

  Now, one thing I noticed as well. The rendered MP4 file from SV is only 251 MB, whereas the rendered file from MPG Streamclip is 1 GB!

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you.

  If you are rendering for the web, I always thought that 29.97 (30p) is recommended, even with footage shot in 24p. I think that YouTube and Vimeo have that as a recommendation.
