  • what are the fastest/best export settings for jpeg + audio (for youtube music)

    Posted by Jim Svensson on June 14, 2016 at 2:39 pm

    Hi
    I am creating meditation music for youtube and my tracks are usually 3 hours long. I use Jpeg picture background for youtube.
    I am looking for the best settings for 720HD.
    Now I am using this:
    Format: H.264
    Frame Rate: 10
    Aspect: Square Pixels 1.0
    Profile: Main —- Level:4.2
    Encoding: VBR 1pass, Target Bitr:5 Max Bitr:5
    Key frame distance: 300
    I also checked “use previews”
    No editing in premiere, just need to “glue” mp3 320kbps + jpeg…

    Are there better options? I am completely new to exporting, I want to shorten my exporting time.
    Thanks

    If it’s only “glue” jpg and mp3, the fastest approach will be avisynth and export with x.264 fast preset, still image tune . Also since the image is static, there’s no need to set a high bitrate (5MBps) for video, what matter is your audio bitrate.

    Or you can do this with ffmpeg on one go:
    ffmpeg -loop 1 -i image.jpg -i audio.wav -c:v libx264 -tune stillimage -c:a aac -strict experimental -b:a 192k -pix_fmt yuv420p -shortest out.mp4

    tried that ffmpeg code, but it takes way longer than with premiere and my settings…

    use fast preset or use fastest preset in x.264, see if it helps., or use avisynth like i told you, encode with megui with the same x.264 preset.

    I tried this one:
    ffmpeg -r 1 -loop 1 -i 1.jpg -i 1.mp3 -acodec copy -r 1 -shortest -vf scale=1280:720 ep1.flv

    worked fantastically! rendered 3 hours long video in 1min!
