Avid Media Composer v8.7.2

Problem:

When exporting H.264 files from Avid Media Composer, the progress bar appears to encode the file four times before finishing.

Solution:

Avoid using the "Best quality (Multi-Pass)" option in the Quicktime compression settings dialog box. The multi-pass export takes four times longer to do and results in a file that doesn't look any different than the one created using "Faster encode (Single-pass)".


Step by step H.264 exporting:

1. Select the sequence in the bin and from the File menu select Output>Export to file... 1 File Output Export to File.png

2. Select the drive you are exporting to. Select Export Setting "Send to QT Movie. Click Options... 2 Export drive and setting.png

3. Select Custom, then select Format Options...
