Anyone here know why my Blender videos come out *absurdly* compressed and pixelated? I'm doing format mp4 and container mp4. The render settings are lifted from a "how to" video. But *good lord* the first frame looks fine and within about 1 second it's a horrible pixelated blurry mess.
I'm guessing it's something to do with the compression, but like.... Why? There's no way normal blender settings should produce a digital-cataracts-simulator video.
Video in reply.
@NanoBookReview I haven’t heard of divx before (but I also haven’t messed with blender’s ffmpeg output much, I usually output frames then convert them to video after)
Try h.264 or h.265 which are newer and more widely used and see if the issue persists.
Also consider outputting frames to a folder then making it a video after. If it is a video encoding issue, this would mean you wouldn’t need to re-render all the frames when trying different encoding settings.
@ajgeiss0702 Okie dokie. I've used H265 with my normal video editing, so that's a good second choice.
Yeah, I'm literally outputting some images right now to do exactly that. I kinda don't like the two-step process, but it works, so..... 🤷
