  • Best Codec for a long video with minimal movement HD

    Posted by Shane Sandler on February 17, 2016 at 1:11 am

    I am rendering a 90 minute video of a speaker at a podium. Shot in 1080p24. The final render will be posted for streaming at a minimum 720p resolution.
    90% of the frame is static so I would think there is a good codec to keep the file small. Ideally less than 1GB.

    I am most familiar with shorter HD videos with lots of scene changes, and the h.264 codec. This yields unwieldy file sizes once the bitrate is acceptable.
    2.5GB+ at 2000kbs

    What is an appropriate codec and settings for this type of video?

    If you kick out an mp4 @ 720p with a bitrate of 1300-1500 you should be in decent shape. Let me know how that works.
