    Media Express Settings

    Posted by George Sey on June 11, 2010 at 10:32 pm

    I used Media Express today for the first time and was not impressed with the settings. Also there was not much information there too. I used Motion jpeg and the quality was bad. I used 8bit and 1hr was 78gb with great quality but big space usage.

    What is the best setting to use. In Premiere the rates are not bad.

    Hi George,

    What do you mean by settings? Can you be more specific?

    If you’re referring to the quality settings for MJPEG, then it’s currently locked down and is not user adjustable.

    However, the quality is good. There is the offchance that the wrong encoder is being called. Do you have any other “codec packs” installed on your system?

    regards

    I am talking about the quality of the settting as they are different from Premiere’s. I settled for the 8bit which is super quality. Only that I need more space as an hour is 77gb compared to Premiere’s 13gb.

    Thanks Kris.
