Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy Bitrate drops

    Hello Everyone,

    I am facing an issue when exporting into a quicktime file. Everything worked well in the past months, but now when I export into a quick time file using the same settings I used, which are, MPEG-4 codec and bitrate 8400kbps and taking the quality highest, the final video turns out to 5000kbps. I also tried to export via Compressor, but the same result; the bitrate drops

    Any ideas on that guys?

    Appreciate it

    If you are making a multipass and Key-frames . AUTO, that’s normal and is OK.
    Do the picture looks bad?

    Thanks for Rafael,

    Yes the pic quality dropped and I am required to have it in a certain kbps. I tried in another codec, it did not drop the bitrate, the final outcome was as I set the bitrate to be.

    Do you know if there is any option that has created a limit on the mpeg4 codec?

    thanks again

    You can make the MP4 containing H264, which will yield better quality.
    – Go to the top of the window (Video tab) and select File Format > MP4 (No ISMA).
    – In Video Format. select H264.
    – Set the data rate you wan’t and Current size (if you don’t want rescaling)
    – Set Key-frames > Automatic
    – Click Video Options and select Main profile and Multi-pass.
