whoa it's kind of like when you look in the mirror like if you have a mirror either side of you in the bathroom or something you look in there it's like I go on for eternity hey what's up guys Jase $0.02 bringing you another one of these Adobe videos here where it's kind of like the noob helping the noob if you will I mean I've been editing videos for a long time obviously now in YouTube but it doesn't make me an expert but it does give me some knowledge that I can share with you guys to help you have a little bit easier time with editing your videos and rendering them and getting the best quality that you can if you're using the Adobe you know Premiere Premiere Pro or CC like I'm using here and I'm today gonna focus on what all those damn settings mean in the rendering box and the export functions that just confuse the hell out of you and you don't know what to click you need to are you just so confused anyway we're going to go over those settings today and we're going to make it really easy for you to get the best quality renders without using up all your CPU or all of your valuable time now these how-to segments here with video editing and creator topics is brought to you by video blocks and that's a service I've actually been using for three years now and you guys have seen it subtly in some of my videos adding it just a little bit of pop and a little bit of flair to what would otherwise be some pretty boring like benchmark numbers and transitions and things like that so make sure you guys come and check out video blogs they've got pretty much something for anyone right now they've got a lot of holiday stuff going on a lot holiday motion backgrounds you can see we got some snowfall in here I don't know what that's like I live in California have no idea what snow falls like so I'm going to take their word for it that this is pretty accurate but you've got motion backgrounds and all kinds of stuff that you can use transitions stock footage here maybe you want to make no shoe commercial or something I don't know that's the point anything you want to do you can pretty much find here in there ten million dollars worth of stock footage you there's a lot of stuff going on now right now there's a special promo going on at the time of making this video and you can find the link to it down in the description where you can save 50% off of your year-long membership which is normally 99 bucks but right now using my link down in the description you can get a year-long membership with an limited use of their 10 million dollars worth of library for only $49 check them out use the link down the description they know that I sent you and you will get 50% off your year-long membership trust me that's that I can't even tell you how much money that's worth in 49 bucks Jesus that's only like 10 Starbucks own go do it right now geez do yourself a favor all right so as I mentioned the video topic for today is all the render settings in that render box a lot of times people spend a lot of time creating very good content lots of graphical overlays and transitions and color Corrections and stuff but they just don't know the best settings for rendering they don't know the best export settings they complain that it takes too long or it the file size is way too big because really a lot of people suspended tend to spend a lot of time researching how to edit an amazing video but no time on how to export it properly so that's what we're gonna do today now this is as you guys have probably already seen my video here where I was putting the block on my new motherboard that's going into skunkworks and right about here as you can see I'm inspecting the holes realized crap I got the wrong freaking block if you guys haven't seen that video in an epic jaeil there's plenty of those J files but the specific one go and check that out the video went up last Friday but anyway if you go over here to file now this is also going to be adobe premier pro cc2014 i have not upgraded to 2015 I've heard it had some issues and then this is working for me and I want to leave it here so anyway this your ear menu may vary slightly depending on the edition of Pro that Adobe Premiere that you are using but this is going to be very similar for elements and even the Sony settings are very similar they may not be worded identical but they're very similar in the way that they work in terms of the types of settings that you can select so let's say we're done with our file here we're going to export this we're going to click media or you could do the shortcut of ctrl M I use a lot of shortcut keys because I like to keep things quick here it is right here now we'll just go from right right down the list right here so export settings if you click match sequence settings you'll see by default it wants to export to a dot mp4 because we've got the h.264 encoder going here by the way this is the only encoder in the list that I use is h.264 but notice if we click match sequence settings it changes it to an MPEG the reason for that is the main track or the video track 1 on this project is coming out of my DSLR which records in an impact format now we don't want MPEG because MPEG makes huge file formats at a not exactly the greatest quality of encoder so anyway we are going to switch that back to h.264 now preset match source high bitrate the reason why I kind of leave this one going rather than coming down here and selecting you know like let's say because you know down here they've got the YouTube one right I think you push what yes okay so we got some YouTube pre-rendered stuff here right YouTube 1080p HD now what now watch this see how this file size here is set to 12 46 megabyte if I click that do you see how that went up to nineteen hundred and 70 megabytes the reason for that is if you look here in the video settings it brought the actual bitrate up to sixteen by sixteen VBR one has a variable bitrate now I like to kind of take control over these settings and you're just gonna have to take my word for this one or try it out for yourself I have spent a lot of time checking between the different bit rates all the way up to 50 Mbps to see what the difference is on the file output but once it's rendered up to YouTube now here's the thing no matter what sides you render the file app YouTube is going to compress the absolute crap out of it I think you guys have seen that and the end result of their compressed file is much smaller than 16 so if we left the target bitrate and the max bitrate at 16 which is kind of funny because the bitrate encoding here as VBR technically would be CBR or constant bitrate if we don't allow it to have any variation here it's going to be much much smaller than that because YouTube has millions and millions in it what probably billions of videos online now and they don't want to use up all of their server space so they compress it as small as possible the point I wanted to make out here was the moment I change anything down here it's going to switch the preset to custom anyway so if you just want to click it and forget it you can be on your way that's fine but I don't like to use the prerendered or priests selections here I the presets I don't like to do that now the output name that's obviously up to you you have to name that yourself here with some files here from my 970 hybrid we could call this here rendering vidya actually I spelled that wrong Vidya there we go rendering Vidya safe so now you can see the file name would be called rendered video rendering Vidya in whatever folder we set that to pretty self-explanatory export audio export video well if we turn both of those off it's like at least one has to be selected to doofus you need something to export okay fine now on the selections here in the tabs on the left hand side you can do a couple of things which is kind of neat you can add some basic applied effects here like we can make it a black and white or we can compress the audio of the video day for night so we can make something like if we shot this outside during the day we apply this filter it kind of makes it look like it's at night sip eeeh like old Wild West bleach bypass so instead of having to apply these to all your clips in your video which are in your timeline which would be very intensive you could apply them here at the time of rendering and then everything will it'll just happen all at once alarm overall which is nice if you actually have a video where you had your white balance way off instead of having to apply it to each one of your clips you could just apply it overall etc so you can turn that off image overlay it's very neat let's say you want a water market let's say you've got like a little JC sense logo or something that you want to put on the video and not have to apply it as an overlay inside of your timeline and I'll have to take up a whole track with that you could click this here you can find your file so we'll go here to my design element stuff which is where I keep a lot of my stuff my twitch background and let's say I want to put this don't put this Jace $0.02 logo in there BAM we don't want that in the middle of screen I mean unless we're going to watermark it as like a client proof or something so you can move it the size of it here you can make it bigger or smaller by clicking on the size and dragging you can also move the thing with the offset here for position click and drag it left see that it goes left when you go left that's weird huh now right to go down on the other on the y-axis and there we go we technically have now a little bit of a watermark that neat that's neat so instead how to apply it in our timeline we just do it at the time of rendering that's always neat I don't really do that but I should probably start considering my videos have been getting reloaded a lot named overlay that's just if you want to name the file you can you can make it whatever you want basically file output name rendering video dot mp4 so that become like a client proof sort of thing but I assume most of you would probably not be using any of that this is the part here where most people are going to be interested in this is the video format here or video tab here in the export settings you can match the source which is awesome it says right here automatically sets basic video settings to match sources properties yeah I mean you can do that but whatever render at maximum depth this is the one that tends to really confuse people like maximum depth I want maximum depth I want my video to look amazing well guess what I forgot to mute my phone again maximum depth here this is only used if you were going to be rendering something with high bit like say something like 32 bit and you're compressing it down what that basically means is that most cameras these days guys are not using anything higher than 8 bit even a camera that has 10 bit like a DSLR or some sort of a professional video camera is going to be like a 10 bit camera 32 bit we're talking like sony red epic or something like that and what's going to happen here is when you take that huge bitrate and you make it smaller you start to get what's called banding and you guys have all seen this especially in like where there's a color gradient and you can see the definition where it went from like black to dark gray to medium grade to light gray to white and it just got this like very sharp cutoff line that is called banding and that's going to happen if you don't click this setting I don't think you need to worry about this most of us are not using any sort of equipment for recording that's going to really make this matter for the most part leave that unchecked it's just going to slow down your render I always leave this a VBR one pass i've tried and VBR stands for variable bitrate CBR is constant bitrate i've tried one pass in to pass i've not notice much of a difference but most of my videos are just talking head format anyway without fast motion stuff if you were doing like sports videography gaming and things like that you might want to make it a two pass and then you would want to make the bitrate you know fairly decent now by default guys I do 14 by 16 on my target bitrate I let it go all the way down to 14 FAQ sometimes if I'm just a talking head like let's just say I'm doing one of those videos where I'm sitting there telling you guys about you know what to look for when buying a motherboard or water cooling I'm just literally sitting in front of the camera I'll let that go way down to 10 because it's not going to really matter considering nothing with the exception of my body is moving in the frame whatsoever keyframe distance this isn't going to really matter for your videos here but down here this is what is going to matter here use maximum render quality a lot of people click that because the wording in itself makes you think well I want my video to look the absolute best therefore I am going to click it BAM well what you just did was you you did absolutely nothing use maximum render quality is what you use if you are changing the file output size from from the source so if we had recorded let's say 4k gameplay and we were going to output it to 1080p then you would select it what it's going to do is it's going to make the resizing of the highest quality so that you can eliminate jaggies and fuzzies and things like that same thing with if you're going up let's say you recorded 720p and you're trying to put it in a 1080p format and you want to you know bump up the size of the video you know you're going to get a lot of jaggies because it's obviously not this native resolution it can help a little bit almost like anti-aliasing so that's only the only time you're going to use this is as I said you are outputting to a different size than the source and you can always tell right here in the summary of what's happening your source sizes right here in 1920 by 1080 and our output size is right here 1920 by 1080 so those were different then you would select the use maximum render quality use previews is something I use simply because I do preview my videos and when you preview them Adobe will create a preview file which has all of the effects and things that you have put in there pre-rendered if you watched it if you didn't watch your video and you just went along and edited and at the end you just trust it everything was good and you hit you know export and you let it go that it won't do anything because you have no preview files anywhere in your folder format for the project so if you do watch your video and you prove it and you can tell right here I've got this red line because I watch my video and this red line basically is the pre-rendered video file then you can click use previews and it will record and render much much faster use frame blending this is something you want to use if you have a lot of choppiness inside of your video let's I've tried to think of an example where you'd have a really choppy video maybe maybe you're recording at 30fps and you've got a lot of camera movement and it looks kind of choppy as your trip movies as you're moving really really fast you know motion blur doesn't really kick in and video cameras as much especially with DSLRs so let's say you have a lot of jerkiness in your video because it's very choppy then you can click use frame blending and it will try and smooth that out import into a project that's not something I use that's if you're using multiple Adobe stuffs but you can see anything you do here to make changes to is going to change the output file size so our goal here is to get the best quality video you can for the smallest file size and basically I like I said I leave this to about anywhere between ten or fourteen depending on the video and then I never let that go above sixteen YouTube is going to compress the out of it anyway obviously if you're making stuff for you to watch on your own you know TVs and stuff and not necessarily YouTube then you can make this high-quality as you want because then you'll be doing video playback and you won't be actually uploading it or streaming it or anything like that but I hope this video has helped you guys and it was probably a little bit longer but I wanted an in-depth explanation of what these settings are to help you get the absolute best video quality that you possibly can make sure you guys also go check out video blocks don't forget 50% off right now at the time of this video link is in the description go and check it out 49 bucks for a year that is a stupidly smart value if you guys are looking for stock footage and templates and things like that anyway time you got out of here guys thanks for watching and I will see you in the next video
