  • SD 4:3 720 x 576 PAL film settings for FilmFreeway

    Posted by Jane Wielecki on September 28, 2015 at 12:32 pm

    Hi all,

    I’ve been testing render settings using Sony Vegas Pro 10 to upload my film to FilmFreeway.

    My film specs are: SD 4:3 720 x 576 PAL.

    The results aren’t great. I’m not expecting HD miracles but would love some professional advice please.

    Can anyone recommend render settings to achieve a reasonable outcome.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you, Jane

    Jane, is there a reason you’re not rendering to HD?
    I checked their site and FilmFreeway recommends the following settings. I’d experiment with Handbrake (it’s free and there are lots of “how to use” tutorials out there) to get the best results at such a low bitrate.

    What format do you recommend for video uploads?

    FilmFreeway accepts all major video formats in full quality HD up to 10 GB. We transcode videos for playback compatibility and performance and recommend that you use settings close to our output settings:

    Maximum video bitrate: 2200 Kbps, H.264, mp4
    Audio: 128 Kbps, AAC, 2 channel stereo
    Aspect ratio preserved; maximum video height of 720 pixels
