Compressing: What's good to use?

Post by Hopper200456 »

Hey guys. So I recently finished my animation so it's time to export. Well, see, I tried using some of the given compressing codecs that come with Anime Studio, but they either make the video look worse (not that bad, but I'm trying to have everything as crisp as possible.) or makes the audio sound terrible.

The big thing is the audio, it keeps crackling whenever there's a loud nose such as an explosion. And it sounds REALLY bad.
I tried downloading the Divx codec, but it just crashes when ever I try to export.

Any good compression codecs to suggest? I really really need this so I can get it done by tomorrow (For personal preference)

I need good video and good audio, by the way. Thanks guys.

Hey Hopper

If we are going to broadcast we tend to use Quicktime and pro ress 422 at 1920x1080 but this can give you fairly big files depending on the length of the animation but if its just for internal viewing usually use H.264 or sometime mpeg 4 at half HD. If possible I would suggest outputting the animation as an image sequence (png or jpeg) and converting it to a video and applying the audio to the video in a post production software and doing the final render from there.

Hope this helps
J
