Thanks for your comment, grandly appreciated! The file size will be the same for both codecs at same bitrate but under 10Mbps the h264 from Adobe is full of artificts compared to the x264 and the lower you set the bitrate the worse.
I used a handbrake to reduce the size of a video, and when I put it in Premiere to montage and then export, the video size returned to the same as the original. you know how to fix?
Technically you can create proxies to reduce the size of the videos to edit, then export and use handbrake to compress the video. Obviously whenever you export from Premiere, you create a new uncompressed or barely compressed file that you will have to reduce in Handbrake, so Premiere does what it’s meant to do in that case.
I came here wondering if there is a way to make handbrake the original transcoder. That way I don't need to translate it to ProRes like you do in this video. I've used this technique before and it works super well, but my issue is that I simply don't have the required space for exporting TBs of data since I often work with footage that is hours long and very high bitrate. Do you know of any plugins that work with Premier to make handbrake the encoder?
@@Digitweaks nevermind I found the solution. Exporting X264 from Premiere Pro CS6 - CC2022 using a plugin called Voukoder. It is 100% Free Open Source GNU License, and it has All X264 Presets you can find as in its original source code. It's using FFMPEG engine by the way. And the Voukoder Plugin can do X264 X265 H264 H265 Pro-Res etc etc. It can even do X264 10 Bit HDR
Great video, Thanks!
pretty late to ask but one question, what's the file size difference you get between h.264 vs x264?

Not that I know of, though if you check in the comments, someone had an alternative that works directly inside premiere
Check for VouKoder, never used it but seems like an option
Sick, thank you brother
@@ethanoverwatch407 A pleasure ✌🏻
@@ethanoverwatch407Voukoder is 10/10 very recommended.
It is blazing fast as well.
Conclusion, exporting X264 straight from Premiere Pro is impossible without 3rd party app.
There's only one plug-in that I know with the x264 option but comes at a cost.

@@ClayWheeler Nice, as long as it fits your needs
Just a note for Mac users, the plugin Voukoder is only compatible with Windows based computer
@@Digitweaks I think you should make a dedicated video for Voukoder.
It is still the most searched app plugin for video export.
