Quality vs kBitRate

[moblur]

I’m tyring to use the quality flag instead of kBitRate but it isn’t working how it seems that it should…

Here’s what I had orginally which works fine:
videoEncoder = VideoEncoder( tempOutFile, fps, origBgFrame.width, origBgFrame.height, 10000, codec )

Here’s my new code with the error:

0: STDOUT: videoEncoder = VideoEncoder( tempOutFile, fps, origBgFrame.width, origBgFrame.height, quality = 80 , codec )
0: STDOUT: SyntaxError: non-keyword arg after keyword arg

in the example in the docs it says: encoder = Draft.VideoEncoder( “//path/to/video/save.mov”, quality = 80 )

so not sure what’s actually wrong here…

Thanks,
Andrew

Try the following:

videoEncoder = VideoEncoder( tempOutFile, fps, origBgFrame.width, origBgFrame.height, quality = 80 , codec = codec )

Because you have the quality set before the codec, and both are optional parameters, you need to specify the keyword for both.

No problem, glad it’s working for you!
