Rendering advice

GregP wrote on 10/18/2015, 3:35 AM

I'm creating an online course so have lots of relatively simple video content, basically talking head plus images of PowerPoint slides. I'm looking for some advice as to the format to which I should render it that provides reasonable rendering speed with decent quality. This stuff doesn't have to b particularly high resolution. I realize I'm asking a nonspecific questions, so general input would be appreciated, perhaps from others with a similar use case. Thanks.

mp4

Used mp4 and experimented with frame rate and average bit rate to optimize quality/file size for my use case. Went from over a gig per file to a couple hundred meg on average.

Are your saying that you're happy with that render setting or are you asking another question?

If you'd like more specific advice, be sure to tell us where you're going to publish your course. "Online" could mean anything from YouTube or Vimeo to your own personal site where you're going to show the video as is, each of which has very different optimized formats and resolutions.

Help...
When I change MAGIX AVC/AAC MP4 encoder to 30p it automatically goes back to 29,970p or 23,976p?
It need to be exacly 30fps for gameplay rendering, and now i can't?

Someone know what to do so VP15 accept my manual fps change?

Thanks.

gui_marquesc, this is the Movie Studio section, not the Vegas Pro one.

Put a loop region around your entire project, and select "Render Loop Region Only" in the Render As window. Believe me, this decreases the rendering speed from hours to mere minutes
