I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 with Pitivi 0.94 and I just created a new project and did some video editing in it. Now I want to render a video file in any format, but that seems to be not so easy.   I tried nearly all formats and codecs provided by pitivi and each of them either renders video with rubbish quality (about 1 kbps, no matter what bitrate I set in pitivi) or just crashes. Searching online I didn't find any render setting that would produce acceptable video quality.  So the question is: has anyone ever managed to get watchable quality output from pitivi and if so, what settings should be used for this?

I've been trying to use Pitivi to edit videos, but so far have been completely unable to persuade it to render them at anything like the source file quality  For example: Source file 1 minute length, bitrate 13.5Mb/s, file size 116.6MB.  I have tried numerous settings on Pitivi and no matter how high I set the bitrate it flatly refuses to go above a bit less than 4Mb/s - file size around 19MB.  I'm happy for the output to be .avi, .mkv, .mp4 or anything similar(but not .mov!).  Is Pitivi really incapable of producing high quality videos, or am I missing something?  Thanks

I'm using Blender 2.77.  When I import footage into the VSE with the correct frame rate (23.98fps) every single audio strip is 2 frames longer than the corresponding video clip.  I think the problem is that my recordings are actually 23.97fps.  The issue with that is that when using the custom fps setting there are not enough decimal places to input a value that will result in a frame rate of 23.97 (i.e. 1.0015).  I'm not positive this will fix it but I think it should.  Does anyone else have any ideas or experience with this issue?

When I try to render a wave, it keeps being rendered in extremely low quality. I'm not sure exactly which setting is causing this, but increasing the renderand viewport sampling don't seem to help.

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)?

If I have a sequence of .obj (or any other readable format) files created from my own simulation code (say cloth simulation), can I use the rendering capabilities of blender to generate a video?   Is there a way to set the material properties for frame 1 and use the same or rest of the frames while the corresponding meshes are imported afresh from that ones I provide?

When rendering [in 2.80], I have discovered that video streams save much faster than rendering to PNG files. This is frustrating to me because I have learned that the safety of image frame rendering then compiling them is well worth it. But the difference between maybe one hour and days in rendering time isn't worth it, even considering the problems that may be encountered.   Q: Is there a faster format to use than PNG?

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?

Apologies if this question has been asked many times before... but I can't find a duplicate.  I'm helping a colleague prepare a Powerpoint presentation. We have no control over the computer that it will be delivered from (we simply hand the PPT file over beforehand). I am making an assumption that it will be running Windows 7 &amp; Powerpoint 2010, as we are.  As I understand it, Powerpoint will embed and play quite a wide range of video formats, if the relevant codecs are installed on the PC. Because we don't control the PC we need to assume that it has nothing installed that doesn't come automatically with Windows or Powerpoint - but which formats are these?  To put it another way: What video format can we embed in Powerpoint and be confident that it will play on any Windows 7 PC?  Thanks.

Can such frames/videos be rendered in Blender Internal as well? If not, how indirectly?  EDIT: The below solution is great as long as you can write your own Python script and only render solid objects. When you need things like particles/hair, it won't work as those won't be reflected.

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?

After done editing, I exported only to see that audio and video do not sync. I know what the problem is - the project's video strips have a variable frame rate. But is there a way to make Blender sync them despite that? I don't want to encode every clip that I have with a CFR.

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 would like to convert a Mp4 file in HD into a Mp4 file of lower resolution. Is there any software that can be used for this?

I'm putting together a video from the VSE. In the sequencer window it is rendering and scrubbing at near realtime yet during output it is taking around 3x longer.   The frames are taking 0.13 seconds each whilst the CPU is only utilised around 20%. I am rendering onto an SSD and using H.264 format 1280x720. Tile size options etc appear to have no or very little effect.  In short - is there any method to speed up the rendering of frames from the VSE?

I have installed youtube-dl in my 14.04.   I can download video by following command,  $ youtube-dl [youtube-link]   But I want to know how to select available pixel quality of youtube video(i.e 1080p, 720p, 480p, etc).   In software description they said it's possible(shown in image below), but how to do..

Dumb question - tracking footage, having border smear problems... So, just tracking some of my own footage for the first time and as I'm approaching my first test renders, I've encountered some weirdness with the boarders of the image - smearing in previews, transparency in render. Obviously, this is not my intended result!  The footage is from an iPhone 4, resolution 1280x738 w/display resolution of 1280x720.  I've a horrible feeling I've set my proxies up wrongly - and that I should immediately know what the problem is here... but I cannot remember the solution! Can anybody jog my memory?   Maaaan, I'm feeling stupid...  --Rev

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.
