Oh, I just tried MediaInfo. That was really helpful. It does state that the audio is variable. So as far as I can tell, Premiere and Media Encoder can’t output AAC at CBR, although I’d love to be wrong about that.

Does anyone have any suggestions of great encoders that can batch lots of videos and output AAC with a CBR?

I’m using Audition Build 11.1, and it does show sample rate and bit depth, but no bit rate, even when you go to the window to view additional properties. I was able to show the bitrate in Mpeg Streamclip, which states the bitrate at 317kbps, although no confirmation if Media Encoder is spitting out the AAC as CBR or VBR.

If you export audio out of Audition, it does it give you the option for CBR and VBR. So maybe worse case scenario, I’ll have to encode the video and audio separately, then mux them.

It says it’s 48. I’m super confused. I also can’t find any application to confirm the bitrate of the audio.

Media encoder is pumping out the AAC audio as CBR or VBR? I just don’t see any info on it anywhere.

Thanks Chris. The post-house is simply asking for us to provide what color profile the project was colored in, then they’ll convert it.

Since it’s now gamma 2.2 in Premiere, should I still tell them it’s 2.4 to make it accurate?

Or as you suggested, apply a lut transform to 2.4 then provide them the film? If so, could you point me to the best way to perform the lut transform?

Thanks.
