What is a bit rate?

Bitrate

Relationship between encoding settings and image quality

Bitrate

Codec Eye Capture
Bit rate is considered to be the number of bits that can be transferred or processed per second, so the unit is expressed in bps (bits per second) and, in the case of moving images, the amount of data in video and audio contained in one second. It would be good.

In other words, if the bit rate is high, the video will have good picture and sound quality, but the data size will increase accordingly.

When considering video editing encoding, it’s basically better to set the bitrate as high as possible within the allowed range of data capacity, but how do you set the bitrate in the first place? I think there are also people who say that.

Filmora Bitrate Settings
The image above is the output screen of the Filmora editing software, but you can see that you can specify the bit rate in the detailed settings.

If the file format is MP4, you can specify a bitrate within the range of 5000 kbps and 2000-30000 kbps by default, but many people are not sure which setting is the best.

In this article, I would like to summarize the bitrate including the settings when editing the video.

What is a bit rate?
What is the difference between high and low bit rates?
As I wrote at the beginning, the bit rate is the amount of information per second, that is, a high bit rate can be interpreted as a large amount of data.

As I wrote earlier, a high bit rate means high image quality and high sound quality, and the data size increases accordingly.

Image quality and sound quality are related to the codec, but basically, the higher the bit rate, the better the image quality and sound quality.

However, it is not possible to improve the image quality of the original file in video encoding, so it is important to understand that increasing the bit rate will not improve the image quality of the original file.
