Values above 16 will start to show some compression artifacts the higher you go. Values of between 12-16 generally produce results that are almost identical to the intermediate file. Unless I need to hit a specific bitrate target, I always just use the slider. This can be adjusted either via the Constant Quality slider or via the Average Bitrate field. This section controls the quality of the encode. I set the Framerate to Same as source, then select Constant Framerate. ![]() For the Video Encoder I just leave it as x264. This section allows you to select the Video Encoder, the Framerate and whether the Framerate is Variable or Constant. This screen houses most of the settings we will need to adjust. Once you’ve output your file, open HandBrake, drag and drop your file, click the Video tab and you will be presented with the main screen above. It’s easy to use and produces files that are smaller and higher quality than what is produced from the standard encoders found in NLEs. HandBrake is a high quality x264, x265 encoder that is available for MacOSX, Windows and Linux. Output a high quality intermediate from Resolve, then re-encode into x264 via a high quality, standalone x264 encoder.įor the intermediate I usually export a Prores 444/422HQ file. If your project is complex or features processor intensive tasks like noise reduction, this is going to take a long time.Ī better method is to split this task in two. Second, if you have multiple deliverables with different encoding requirements or if you make a mistake with your encode settings, you will need to re-render the entire project with each new encode. They usually produce large files that are poor in quality all while taking a long time to encode. First, NLE’s generally don’t have very good or efficient x264 encoders. I can already hear you asking, “why not just export an x264 file directly out of Resolve (or other NLE) and cut out the intermediate step?” There are two main reasons for this. Therefore for projects of around a minute or longer, I usually export a high quality intermediate or mezzanine file then re-encode that as a more manageable x264 file. UPLOAD AN x264 FILE ENCODED FROM AN INTERMeDIATE FILEįor projects with a longer runtime, quality has to be balanced with a manageable file size. If a 1GB file is still too big for you to upload or if your Vimeo account has a data quota, keep reading. And I will already have it on hand as it’s also likely my final deliverable. ![]() This is quick to export and usually quick to upload. This will likely be a Prores 444/422HQ file of around 1-5GB in size. ![]() Upload the Final Masterįor videos of around a minute or shorter I usually just upload the final master. There are two main methods I use to output this high quality file and the method I use generally depends on the project’s runtime. When exporting the goal is obviously to create the highest quality file possible as this ensures the best results after the platform re-encodes the upload. The process is actually super simple as you will see below. I occasionally get asked how I export videos for Youtube and Vimeo.
