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 node 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 node 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 node dynamically try NVIDIA, Intel QSV, AMF, VAAPI and fall back to CPU for hardware encoding
