Can’t set bitrate when encoding QT H.264 using Adobe Media Encoder
I can’t set the bitrate when encoding H.264 (aka MPEG-4 AVC aka MPEG-4 part 10) using Adobe Media Encoder from within Premiere Pro 1.5.1. I have Quick Time 7.0.2 Pro installed.
Within Media Encoder, there is a slider which claims to set the bitrate. However, changing this slider makes no difference! Adobe Media Encoder stubornly encodes the video at about 20Mbit/sec.
The only way I can encode H.264 Quick Times is by exporting an uncompressed AVI from Premiere Pro and then importing this into Quick Time 7.0.2 Pro.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Incidentally, I’m trying to write a page about putting videos online in the Movie Making Manual wikibook. Please take a look and edit as necessary (it’s only a stub at present).
Thanks a lot,

I’ve had the same problem in both Premiere and After Effects, I was hoping that it was because I didnt’ have quicktime Pro, but since you have it and it doesn’t work that means that there is something fishy going on. I’ve notice that it only changes the bit rate when you change the export size.

Ah, interesting.
How do you change the “export size”? Is this “export size setting” a usable work-around?
Many thanks,

In premiere when you look at your transcode settings in the Media encoder, it is under the Video area. Underneath where you choose the video codec settings, you can tell the encoder a frame size.
