Question

Premiere/Media Encoder Bit rate exceeding Max Bitrate

I’m experiencing a possible issue where videos exported out of Premiere and Media Encoder seem to have some strange bit rates when viewed in Media Info. I did some tests, and it seems in CBR and VBR 2-pass export modes it respects the settings and has as bitrate at or under the maximum bit rate. However, in VBR 1-pass the results similar to the image shown occur when viewing the completed file. Is this simply a metadata error? Or is there something wrong here / with my export pipeline?

    Hi there,

     

    Thank you for reaching out. I understand you are observing bit rate difference in the exported file from PR and AME.

     

    • Could you share the exported file with us so that we can check it at our end?
    • Also, please check if you are getting the same results with any other project. 

     

    Let us know how it goes. 

     

    Thanks,

    While I love MediaInfo, this can't actually be correct right? You couldn't have possibly set your target bitrate to ~5 Mbps and your max bitrate to 0.7 Mbps in Premiere/AME did you? Sounds more like a metadata error to me.

     

    I mean, if your video was truly capped at 0.7 Mbps throughout, you'd know, it'd look pretty terrible.
