But I would like to know all the supported codec on ffmpeg, and I don’t find a place for that. And I would like to set H.264 better than mpeg4.
For those who work on the synfig documentation, I believe that you should tell (in the documentation) that -vs and -vb commands no more work (apparently), and that one should use both --video-codec and --video-bitrate to export with specif ffmpeg codec, and give the list of accepted codec tag.
thank you very much.
My synfigstudio ubuntu package doesn’t export , I have to use synfig command line, is it normal?
Thanks

So you should use libx264 as video codec.
Besides, quality 10 is the worse quality available; and 0 is the best. Some codecs have settings in this same twisted logic (like CRF). There is a reason: 0 means to do stuff as much is intended to. Other values are diferent levels of simplification that makes code faster (but, e.g., with some artifacts) - and you can create as many simplification levels as you need/want to. It would be ‘impossible’ to say a number for the best quality for every feature, as different features may have different number of levels.
Oh, now I saw them: they are mentioned only in the example, not in the table! lol
Well, I investigate the code and they seem to not be usable since (at least) 2012.
