Hello.  I was thinking about buying the software for the pro options but 2 very important options aren’t available.  The highest frames per second option I see is 30 and there is no custom video bitrate option.  I know there are different levels of video output up to level 5 but having a custom bitrate option would be a huge plus to fine tune exactly how big you want the video to be.

Are either or both of these options going to be added to the software?

Thanks!

Hi TaaDow,

Thanks for your message.

We had to find a compromise between quality and the resources available on a regular PC. As YouTube will not accept videos over 30fps, we felt that this was a very high quality standard. To double the FPS and also support large frame sizes would not only take significantly longer to render, but the performance hit would be unacceptable on a home PC.

Please see our FAQ - Performance Considerations - for more information: http://www.trakax.com/software/pc/faq/

In regards to a custom bitrate option, we felt that this was adding an unnecessary level of complexity to the application. The bitrate changes dramatically depending on the frame size chosen and we wanted to create a quality (high-quality, average quality etc.) that was applicable and comparable to any frame size chosen. Although this is something we will take into consideration for future releases, we felt that for the ease of use for the average user, having the bitrate already set in the default levels provided would be less confusing.

I hope this answers your query and if you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at any time.

Many thanks,

Catriona
