  HLP!!! Which Format Would You Suggest?

  Posted by Tea Anderson on November 6, 2015 at 3:52 pm

  I’ve edited a 6 minute piece and after exporting, it’s choppy on lesser equipment.

  The video will be played at a conference, on a large 16:9 screen.

  I need to lessen the file size but have no idea what settings to use. Obviously I’m no video editing expert (yet), but what are the settings you would use to export?

  I’ve used H264 YouTube 1080P HD, Match Source High Bitrate, Match Source Medium Bitrate, and others.

  PLEASE HELP! I need this done and it plays like crap on their cheaper laptops! Looks GREAT on my desktop!

  It’s an emergency as I have no time left! 🙁

  We’ve had good luck with the H.264 Apple TV, iPad, iPhone 4 and newer 720p 29.97 for universal playability, good quality and a small file size. If file size is not an issue you can up the Bitrate Settings to Target Bitrate 6 and Maximum Bitrate 7. Don’t push those numbers too high or the decoder will run into problems when you play it back.

  Ok, so it LOOKS PERFECT but has some fluttering and “drumrolling” in the audio. Any hints or guidance?

  Thanks again!!!

  After selecting the video setting go to the Audio tab and change the Audio Format to Dolby Digital, see if that helps. Also, change the Bitrate setting to 320.
