Does compressing a 160 Mbps file to 60mbps in handbrake give better results than exporting it to 60 mbps directly in premiere pro?

That's great to hear because at anything less than the max 160 mbps the filmgrain on my edit became a blurry mess. But it also means that the edit is 250 GB lmao.yes. I'm 90% sure on that, due to the fact I don't have premier, but handbrake is built specifically to get good quality encodes, and just that. premier is mainly focused on rendering your video, not really the encoding process.
I know for certain that resolve does a crappy encode and it's very highly likely that premier is the same.
I must really not know how to use handbrake. I always get terrible results using it. It's on my computer, but I never use it beyond dropping in the movie file to get the exact demensions of a video. Perhaps I use the right setting and/or I'm impatient with its encoding times.yes.

Handbrake is honestly pretty fast in my experience. especially if comparing to something like avisynth.I must really not know how to use handbrake. I always get terrible results using it.

settings is important though. There's various useful things to know, such as using NVENC which uses your graphics card, is actually prone to a lot of errors.
if there is a rescale setting switched on by mistake, or some other filter, then it could introduce problems. I imagine there must be a tutorial somewhere that can go over all that if you wanted to try it out.
I just personally find it to have very clear and straight forward settings compared to other programs. how fast is your cpu out of curiosity?
right, because the GPU isn't really designed for this kind of process. encoding is about doing something linearly with motion estimation on a frame by frame basis, a GPU is about doing tons of parallel processing. My technical knowledge doen't go much further than that, but I've also read up on it and done a few tests.Even with a top of the line GPU hardware accel.would be bad?
I can't vouch for handbrake specifically, but I can confirm that mp4 files from premiere pro are much larger than they need to be compared to the quality you get. A match source medium quality is roughly the same file size as a high quality properly encoded file, unfortunately.Does compressing a 160 Mbps file to 60mbps in handbrake give better results than exporting it to 60 mbps directly in premiere pro?
