Hello

I am trying to export my animation project from media encoder. The quality is poor. Picture is pixelated, not what is supposed to look like. Can you help me, what is wrong?

Thank you for your help. The issue seemed to be low bitrate. Thank you!

What export settings are you using?

Media Encoder has many presets that you can use when creating your files.

In general, ones that have lower bitrate will produce lower quality files.

Hello @Hanna-Mari22689902bf6z !

Trying to think of different issues here:

- Could it be a bitrate issue?
In media encoder, video tab, scroll until you find Bitrate and adjust it to a higher value.

- Maybe the size of your comp is too small. Adjust it before exporting

Thank you all of your help! I changed the bitrate and it helped. I have tried this before, but now it helped. Thank you so much!!

It's difficult to judge the quality based on a screenshot. It might help if you could share a screenshot of the original media. Also, share a screenshot of the export settings.

We're here to help.

Thanks,
