I took a video using my Sony A7iii with the AVCHD file format. I put it in Premiere Pro to trim it and I exported it as H.264 to an mp4 file. The exported video looks fine with Microsoft's Movies and TV App, but once I have imported it into Blender, the footage became distorted. Which software caused the problem and how do I fix it?

I have an issue when generating an image sequence from a video clip. Pictures 1,2,and 3 are three consecutive images from a video clip. Picture 4 is a close-up of the heel of one of them. The camera is on a tripod. As you can see there is no issue with the brick wall, but with any moving part there is. The camera is a Panasonic HDC-SD100. The clip is AVCHD 1920/1080. If I use VLC to extract the image sequence there is no issue. I use all the default settings except for the rendering resolution which I set to 100% and image compression to 0%. I have the issue with Blender 2.79b and 2.80. With this image issue it is impossible to do camera tracking. Any ideas what I need to do in order to solve this. Best regards.

I already searched the internet but could not find a solution to this. Maybe it is the same question as  but there was no answer.  I want to render a video with tracking, but the output "loses" color information and gets kind of greyish. I first thought that it is related to the renderer, but it happens in Cycles and Eevee. Therefore i made a sample image, added it to the image sequence editor and rendered it as 1 frame. Resulting in the same problem.  I placed the original image beside blenders output so that you can see the difference. The only idea I came up with is that something with the lighting is not correct but I can't find a setting for that.  I am using Blender 2.80 with the default settings. Only set the output resolution to match the input resolution.

I took a video from my Android phone (Sony Xperia P, if you need to know), and before I could stop recording it, the phone memory got full and the phone got hanged too. I rebooted the phone, the video was there, but I couldn't play it from any media player on Android. It's in mp4 format.    So I tried to open it on PC and Mac with different video player, like VLC, quick Time, Windows Media Player etc., but none of them can play it. I know that the video is corrupted, but I believe it's repairable, since it got more than a GB in size. Is there anything that I can try  to repair the video file? The video is really important.

I just made a video in mov-formate containing 300pngs in 4k. Every single png ist roughly 6MB in filesize. The mov-file is just 8MB. Seems weird to me. Is there maybe a quality loss in the video? The video looks fine but the size just seems so small.

After Blender 2.79 dropped, I can't seem to render in MP4. I have attempted to use the FFmpeg video option they added, but no matter what I choose in the encoding tab, even presets, the render always ends with a useless unreadable file.  Does anyone know what I have to do to fix this?

I just completed my first Blender job. Without thinking, I deleted what I thought was a superfluous .dvd file.   After realizing I rendered my file in black and white instead of RBG, I tried to render my job again but I just get a the warning, "Could not open file for writing." I do have a saved, .blend file. Is it possible to generate another mpeg file from this?

How to import footage in VSE for optimal playback and organization, using proxies and workarounds?

I have a Sony CX115 and I have a little footage I'd like to put on youtube. I've downloaded Arista from the Ubuntu Software Center and then I've downloaded its Youtube HD plugin. I've converted my video and uploaded it to youtube... The result is a flashy video with a lot of grey in it:    What could I do to publish it in high quality so it'll be viewable?

In the past, Blender (at least the Mac version) has had the ability to encode video files as .mov, the format used by Quicktime Player. However, with Blender 2.79 this feature seems to have vanished, for both the Internal and Cycles render engines. The release log happens to have the entry "Video encoding settings have been simplified, along with the addition of a Constant Rate Factor (CRF) mode" which I suppose could be the cause.  Does anyone know what happened—whether it is the aformentioned reason or something else—and how to export videos as Quicktime .mov in Blender 2.79?

I am trying to render a video (that is not a .dvd file) with audio using Blender. So far, I haven't had any success; all of my rendered clips have had the audio missing from the playback. I've tried a couple of different encoding and output options but nothing has worked so far (except for a .dvd file that I rendered originally).  What are my options for rendering a video with working audio?

I have a video that was rotated 180° when recorded. Is it possible to correct this with FFmpeg?

My Canon 60D creates .MOV files when recording video and I've found out that the .MOV container has an H264 video stream and a PCM audio stream.    I've used ffmpeg and GSpot to look at some of my videos, and I see what seem to be pretty high bitrates (22,000kbps for 640x480, 45,000 for 1920x1080).  I'd like to reduce the size of the files, but keep the quality quite high.  I've played around with the simplest thing I could think of, reducing the bit rate and that does what I'd expect: cut the bitrate in half and the file size is about half.  But I'm wondering if there's a way to determine a "good" target bitrate, or if there's any point in trying to do variable bitrate.

I need a good video converter application that can convert from/to many video formats. On Windows I found  to be good. I would like its equivalent or something better on Ubuntu.

I have a series of PNGs that have transparent backgrounds.  When I place them on the strip in Video Editing and render, the background on the video is black.    I've made certain that the Transparent box is checked, and that any file formats, container or codec selections allow for RGBA, before rendering animation.  Still, the background of the video turns out black!  The file is here, and I'm desperate (and appreciative) for direction:   I would like to render the PNG files, within the Sequencer, as an mp4, WITH A TRANSPARENT BACKGROUND.  Hope this is descriptive enough to gather a response?

Yesterday I was filming a scene with my phone but suddenly the application crashed and when I try to open the m4v generated it says that is corrupted.  I have downloaded the video files (around 36MB) on my PC and I am trying to open and repair it. Can you suggest me a way to do it?

I have two high-quality mp4 files, which are of two parts of the same show.  I want to merge them together into 1 file, and I usually use VirtualDub to merge my files... But it doesn't seem to support mp4.  What alternatives are available (especially ones that don't require re-encoding)?

I have seen that the new  shows off H.265/HEVC playback, the successor of H.264. I wonder how I may get this support in Linux. Is there a need to install a codec specific for this format? How?
