Exporting animation - changing animation quality

Greetings

first of all, i would like to say thank you for continuing to develop this excellent piece of freeware. the older version had a whole bunch of problems that prompted me to pull some of my hair out.

I have a question regarding exporting. I would like to export my animations into an AVI file but the quality is awfully low at 200kbps. I’m looking to put together a 3-minute animation in 720p quality. 6000kbps (very high quality) is what I’m after. is there a way to achieve this? it doesn’t have to be 6000kbps; it just has to be enough to not have any noticeable video artifacts.

Thank you greatly for any help.

hi, @isaacrfk

Could you tell me which OS does you use? Windows? Linux?

The video exporter is very different in every platform. This information is needed.

Thanks.

I am using Windows 8. ffmpeg in the plugins directory. latest version of pencil2d.

 

thank you

@chchwy does the exporting send specific parameters to ffmpeg, or does it just use default settings?

@isaacrfk If default settings are used, maybe you can tell ffmpeg to use different defaults…I’m not sure how windows works with ffmpeg, though…maybe there’s a config file or environment variables that can be used, maybe there isn’t. If not, you could try exporting as PNG sequence and then rendering the high quality using a video editor (or ffmpeg directly).
