If you are using H.264 compression, you can calculate a ballpark estimate for the target bitrate using the Kush gauge:
If you are using H.264 compression, you can calculate a ballpark estimate for the target bitrate using the Kush gauge:
Target Bitrate (kbps) = Frame Width (px) * Frame Height (px) * Frame Rate (fps) * Motion Factor * 0.07 / 1000
Target Bitrate (kbps) = Frame Width (px) * Frame Height (px) * Frame Rate (fps) * Motion Factor * 0.07 / 1000
"Motion Factor" is an arbitrary value (generally either 1, 2 or 4) that you assign to your video based on the amount of (fast) movement in the video. Higher amounts of movement require a higher amount of information to be stored in order to prevent quality loss.
