  • Parts of video drastically lower in quality than others

    Posted by Maria Watson on November 7, 2013 at 1:29 am

    What the title says. After uploading a video I’d been working on to youtube, I realized certain scenes/parts of it were noticeably lower quality than others. I tried rendering it again – even upped the bit rate – but it produced the same results.

    I use sony vegas pro 9. The footage (bought in HD):

    mp4 (.m4v)
    data rate: 4023kbps
    total bitrate: 4567kbps
    pixel aspect rate: 1.0000
    frame rate: 23 frames/second

    rendered with Sony AVC:
    video format: AVC
    profile: baseline
    entropy coding: CAVLC
    frame rate: 23.976000
    field order: none
    pixel aspect ratio: 1.0000
    bite rate: 6,000,000

    The quality loss happens at about 0:48 and lasts up to 1:01. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me figure out the problem here <3

    Why are you rendering over your footage?
    You uploaded a perfect video, so any drop in resolution
    or any other fault is entirely what youtube does to it, and
    could also be a limitation of your internet speed or browser, not
    anything to do with your Vegas render.

    I agree with Steve. I didn’t see any drop in quality except maybe one or two places that I did see compression artifacts but your video doesn’t have that much quality to begin with and it has far too much contrast. Try rendering with the 2-Pass option to make better use of your bit rate.

    Where do I find the 2-pass option?

    I did see a drop in quality when the background got really busy – typical of any encoded format.

    2 pass is available in the Mainconcept AVC Customized render settings.

    As Steve said if you use MainConcept AVC with a template like Internet HD can press Customize Template and you’ll see a Two-Pass option:
