Question

Problem trying to get small file size

I was asked to convert a 10 second ad to Jodel, which requires less than 5 mb file size for the ads. I tried with ME, but even though I finally lowered bitrate to 0,5 Mbps (mp4, H.264, AAC 96kHz) I could not get smaller file size than about 20 mb.

 

Then I took Handbrake, which made 5 mb file with about 5 Mbps bitrate.

 

What settings did I miss in ME, how can I get smaller file size with it?

    Handbrake uses a different and open source encoder called x264. It's different than the one MainConcept encoder that Adobe licenses for its video software. x264 is really good at making high quality files with a significantly lower bit rate, so in this case, I would do the same as you. or use a third-party plug-in like AfterCodecs for AME, which also uses the x264 encoder.

      Ok, thanks, good to know. I was just wondering if I was doing something wrong with ME. Now I know not to even try using it in this kind of situation.  🙂
