Video Bitrate

FFmpeg Builder: Video Bitrate

Sets FFmpeg Builder to encode the video given the bitrate

Bitrate​

The target bitrate of the video in kilobytes. Or if Percent is checked, the percentage of the working file's bitrate. For example, if set to 50% and the working file bitrate is 6000Kbps, the new files bitrate will be 3000Kbps.

Percent​

When selected the bitrate will be calculated as a percentage of the current bitrate.


Notes​

If using Video Encode, this flow element will not work. Video Encode uses CRF which does not work with a fixed bitrate, more information

If you would like to dynamically use hardware encoding and bitrate, you can use the Video Codec flow element with

Codec: h265|hevc|h264
Video Codec Parameters: h265|hevc|h264

For example, for h265 or hevc (these strings are interchangable)

Codec: h265
Video Codec Parameters: h265

or

For example, for h265 or hevc (these strings are interchangable)

Codec: hevc
Video Codec Parameters: hevc

For example, for h264

Codec: h264
Video Codec Parameters: h264

This will then make the Video Codec flow element dynamically try NVIDIA, Intel QSV, AMF, VAAPI and fall back to CPU for hardware encoding
