How to improve the quality of mp4 output in Replay
Mar 16, 2016
Hello!
I'm making video's in replay and when I play the video in replay, the sound is OK. But once exported to a mp4 format, the quality of the sound is under my expectations.
I 've searched for the possibility to configure the level of quality you want for the exported video but I didn't found anything.
If anyone has advice on the recoring material to use (standing micro, headset with micro,...) it would also be nice because the quality of sound I got now is not satisfying. There is always a soft 'wind' noise in the backrgound which is not qualitative.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, Evelyne -- Many thanks for your question and for general tips on recording audio like a pro, please see this blog post for many resources that should be helpful. You may also want to check out this post pertaining to audio quality when recording in Replay.
If you are using the mic on your computer, you will probably be disappointed. I purchased this simple plug in USB microphone and am quite pleased with the quality (https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Snowball-Condenser-Microphone-Cardioid/dp/B006DIA77E/ref=sr_1_4/163-4874091-0344952?ie=UTF8&qid=1487172983&sr=8-4&keywords=blue+snowball+microphones).
I also usually double the wavelength size to amplify my voice when I edit the recordings. This way they can always turn me down but it would be disappointing to have the voice not be loud enough after all the editing work.
Hey Daniel - thanks for popping in to share. This thread is a bit dated and your suggestion may not assist Evelyne here, but it could certainly assist someone that runs across this thread in the future.
I am trying to figure out how to get a better digital quality to my screencasts using Replay. Can you help me find any good forums for that?
Hello Daniel - Articulate Replay compresses the published output to achieve the best balance between file size and video quality. Currently, there isn't an option to turn off compression, but that would make a great feature request.
Are you adding this to Storyline perhaps as there are some quality adjustments that can be made to optimize prior to publishing. Just a thought.
