How do I Change/adjust my mbps?

Apr 30, 2012 5:13 AM

Hello everyone. I am new to this wonderful software, and still learning the ropes.

I make movies with games, and so far with every clip I put on Premiere pro, I get a terrible stutter/lag issue. The clip is smooth as gold, but when I play it on APP CS5 it lags. So I render the entire work area once or twice and then come across another problem, which happens not only when I play it but once it is exported too. It Stutters. Its like I attached the screen to the wing of a dragonfly. Hahaha

So I looked it up and apparently someone else had a similar problem. He said that to fix it he lowered his 'mbps'. Please tell me... what is mbps? How can I change/Adjust it to lower it and get smoother video?

Thanks for your time.

We need a LOT more info to even begin helping.

Mac or PC?

System specs?

What is the SOURCE video codec/specs?

Some video files will be difficult to play back in Premiere if your system hardware is not fast enough. Your rendering may be defaulted to UNCOMPRESSED, which can create a file that your hard drive may not be fast enough to play back smoothly.

Please share more details of your hardware, video source, workflow

Thanks

Does that mean you are using screen capture software?

Report back with the codec details of your file, use the programs below... a screen shot works well to SHOW people what you are doing

.
If you have a red line over the timeline after importing a video and before adding any effects... your project is wrong for your video... read above about codecs
.
Once you know exactly what it is you are editing, report back with that information... and your project setting, and if there is a red line above the video in the timeline, which indicates a mismatch between video and project

In your Export Settings you will find the Bitrate Setting. There you can lower the target or maximum bitrate in Mbps.
