Rendering Uncompressed?

Hi Guys,

Anyone have any idea on how to render uncompressed? ?

Is it the same as having the bitrate and codec exactly the same from the source footage?

Thanks for your inputs!
 
Think your editor will have a native codec if nothing else.

Plus, what will you do with it? Likely to be larger than source and not supported by YT.
 
Why do you want it uncompressed? If I'm not mistaken, the video files are compressed on the fly. If you're using something like a Drift or GoPro.
 
I mean uncompressed from the camera, i have a GoPro, using a trial of Adobe Premiere Pro CC. I want the detail the same as straight from the camera as much as possible after edits and cuts, I have no idea how to render as such in Premiere Pro. I've read RJ does the same, but I have no idea how he does it for rendering to final product in YT, to quote him (and the question is from you Lurch o_O)

A question from motovlog member ‘Lurch’: Quality of videos, the same thing crops up when people talk about them. How on earth do you have such high quality videos?

The trick is in the export or as some call it render. I don’t use any compression, 30Mbits in, same out. This results in huge files that some might struggle uploading to YouTube, but the end result is worth it. I also never do any post processing, no colour adjustment, etc… I get vids sent to me for the subscriber spotlight and I’m shocked about the level of compression people use.

Any idea how he does this? bandwidth would not be an issue for me when uploading. (i have the corporate internet to thank for that ;))

GoPro videos I think uses the h.264 codec in mp4 container, Premiere Pro has it natively, Vegas Pro doesn't.

When rendering in Premiere Pro, there are bitrate options in there (VBR 1pass, 2 pass, and CBR). Did he mean setting the target bitrate the same one as the source and that's it?
 
From what I understand about YouTube is that when you upload a video, YouTube will compress the file to fit within their guidelines and in most cases, compressing the video yourself using a decent rendering program and settings will limit how much compression YouTube does when it receives your video.

This video explains it better.

 
To my understanding how youtube compression works(from what I've read) is the higher quality video you upload, the better it'll look. I remember reading a quote from royal jordanian interview on this site.

With you now.

Just encode at a good quality H.264, you'll be reet. It's bitrate that counts over encoding and any decent setting will be better thsn what YT does to it.

I was after RJ's output settings in that question as we use the same editing suite. Probably doesn't matter what you kick out to an extent as long as it's higher than YT's requirements and certainly no need to exceed the bitrate your camera records at.
 
Thanks Lurch, so technically speaking when I do as you say it means I am rendering uncompressed? same bitrate from source footage.
 
H.264 is a compressed format.

You can check on YT help as to which codecs and file types are supported too, decide which is best, however there's no benefit in rendering above source. But you don't want to compress below YT's specs are it'll get re-rendered by YT, thus loosing quality again.
 
Ok so I found out what was causing degradation in my footage, I was using Variable Bit Rate (VBR) Settings on my renders thinking it would produce high quality videos, turns out Constant Bitrate (CBR) is way more better as it doesnt lower bitrate at certain passages on your footage unlike VBR, the only downside is a larger file size for the renders in CBR, just kept the bitrate as close or the same as the source footage and didn't noticed any degradation whatsoever.
