  • Adobe Media Encoder problem–white showing up on blacks after encode

    Posted by Nick Chafin on August 3, 2010 at 8:49 pm

    I edit with FCP and output by going to EXPORT>QUICKTIME MOVIE, then outputting a self-contained .mov.

    From here I bring it into Adobe Media Encoder CS5. When I use h.264, sometimes after it gets done, the black at the beginning shows up white and even stays through the opening/closing fade.

    I’ve even gone back in to the FCP timeline and added slug and or photoshop black underneath the fade to make sure it wasn’t a transparency issue–didn’t work.

    If you have any ideas, please let me know, as I like the speed and general look of Media encoder better than my other compression software.

    Thanks,

    Nick Chafin

    Here’s an example of a screwy video:
    (NO DIRECT LINK SO) GO TO:

    https://www.secacademicnetwork.com/

    Then Click on Tennessee on the right hand side

    Then click on the “most recent” tab.

    The video is entitled “Gloriad”

    SOMETHING interesting is that when I upload the SAME file to a different site, it works fine: https://videos.sorensonmedia.com/f64a49fe-59c7-4974-bfa4-62d32e0e8d00/GLORIAD+1/36124f96rcf63t44145ae73Zf06b9bd4e7a2

    Any ideas???

    Okay, something even more odd came up… watching the following screwy video on a Mac looks bad… but if you watch it on a PC it looks fine. I’m confused, any ideas anyone?

    Here’s the link:

    Well, I ended up solving the problem by myself. For anyone who has this problem in the future, the problem seems to be when you set the target bitrate and the maximum bitrate as high as they will go.

    After lowering the target bitrate the problem went away.

    Still not sure why the problem only existed on the Mac side…
