      • bandwidthReductionFilter

        H264Settings.Builder bandwidthReductionFilter​(BandwidthReductionFilter bandwidthReductionFilter)
        The Bandwidth reduction filter increases the video quality of your output relative to its bitrate. Use to lower the bitrate of your constant quality QVBR output, with little or no perceptual decrease in quality. Or, use to increase the video quality of outputs with other rate control modes relative to the bitrate that you specify. Bandwidth reduction increases further when your input is low quality or noisy. Outputs that use this feature incur pro-tier pricing. When you include Bandwidth reduction filter, you cannot include the Noise reducer preprocessor.

      • flickerAdaptiveQuantization

        H264Settings.Builder flickerAdaptiveQuantization​(String flickerAdaptiveQuantization)
        Only use this setting when you change the default value, AUTO, for the setting H264AdaptiveQuantization. When you keep all defaults, excluding H264AdaptiveQuantization and all other adaptive quantization from your JSON job specification, MediaConvert automatically applies the best types of quantization for your video content. When you set H264AdaptiveQuantization to a value other than AUTO, the default value for H264FlickerAdaptiveQuantization is Disabled. Change this value to Enabled to reduce I-frame pop. I-frame pop appears as a visual flicker that can arise when the encoder saves bits by copying some macroblocks many times from frame to frame, and then refreshes them at the I-frame. When you enable this setting, the encoder updates these macroblocks slightly more often to smooth out the flicker. To manually enable or disable H264FlickerAdaptiveQuantization, you must set Adaptive quantization to a value other than AUTO.
        Parameters:

      • minIInterval

        H264Settings.Builder minIInterval​(Integer minIInterval)
        Specify the minimum number of frames allowed between two IDR-frames in your output. This includes frames created at the start of a GOP or a scene change. Use Min I-Interval to improve video compression by varying GOP size when two IDR-frames would be created near each other. For example, if a regular cadence-driven IDR-frame would fall within 5 frames of a scene-change IDR-frame, and you set Min I-interval to 5, then the encoder would only write an IDR-frame for the scene-change. In this way, one GOP is shortened or extended. If a cadence-driven IDR-frame would be further than 5 frames from a scene-change IDR-frame, then the encoder leaves all IDR-frames in place. To use an automatically determined interval: We recommend that you keep this value blank. This allows for MediaConvert to use an optimal setting according to the characteristics of your input video, and results in better video compression. To manually specify an interval: Enter a value from 1 to 30. Use when your downstream systems have specific GOP size requirements. To disable GOP size variance: Enter 0. MediaConvert will only create IDR-frames at the start of your output's cadence-driven GOP. Use when your downstream systems require a regular GOP size.
        Parameters:
        minIInterval - Specify the minimum number of frames allowed between two IDR-frames in your output. This includes frames created at the start of a GOP or a scene change.

To not apply saliency aware encoding, prioritizing encoding speed over perceptual video quality: Choose Disabled.
        Parameters:
        saliencyAwareEncoding - Specify whether to apply Saliency aware encoding to your output. Use to improve the perceptual video quality of your output by allocating more encoding bits to the prominent or noticeable parts of your content.

      • scanTypeConversionMode

        H264Settings.Builder scanTypeConversionMode​(String scanTypeConversionMode)
        Use this setting for interlaced outputs, when your output frame rate is half of your input frame rate. In this situation, choose Optimized interlacing to create a better quality interlaced output. In this case, each progressive frame from the input corresponds to an interlaced field in the output. Keep the default value, Basic interlacing, for all other output frame rates. With basic interlacing, MediaConvert performs any frame rate conversion first and then interlaces the frames. When you choose Optimized interlacing and you set your output frame rate to a value that isn't suitable for optimized interlacing, MediaConvert automatically falls back to basic interlacing. Required settings: To use optimized interlacing, you must set Telecine to None or Soft. You can't use optimized interlacing for hard telecine outputs. You must also set Interlace mode to a value other than Progressive.

      • softness

        H264Settings.Builder softness​(Integer softness)
        Ignore this setting unless you need to comply with a specification that requires a specific value. If you don't have a specification requirement, we recommend that you adjust the softness of your output by using a lower value for the setting Sharpness or by enabling a noise reducer filter. The Softness setting specifies the quantization matrices that the encoder uses. Keep the default value, 0, for flat quantization. Choose the value 1 or 16 to use the default JVT softening quantization matricies from the H.264 specification. Choose a value from 17 to 128 to use planar interpolation. Increasing values from 17 to 128 result in increasing reduction of high-frequency data. The value 128 results in the softest video.
        Parameters:

      • spatialAdaptiveQuantization

        H264Settings.Builder spatialAdaptiveQuantization​(String spatialAdaptiveQuantization)
        Only use this setting when you change the default value, Auto, for the setting H264AdaptiveQuantization. When you keep all defaults, excluding H264AdaptiveQuantization and all other adaptive quantization from your JSON job specification, MediaConvert automatically applies the best types of quantization for your video content. When you set H264AdaptiveQuantization to a value other than AUTO, the default value for H264SpatialAdaptiveQuantization is Enabled. Keep this default value to adjust quantization within each frame based on spatial variation of content complexity. When you enable this feature, the encoder uses fewer bits on areas that can sustain more distortion with no noticeable visual degradation and uses more bits on areas where any small distortion will be noticeable. For example, complex textured blocks are encoded with fewer bits and smooth textured blocks are encoded with more bits. Enabling this feature will almost always improve your video quality. Note, though, that this feature doesn't take into account where the viewer's attention is likely to be. If viewers are likely to be focusing their attention on a part of the screen with a lot of complex texture, you might choose to set H264SpatialAdaptiveQuantization to Disabled. Related setting: When you enable spatial adaptive quantization, set the value for Adaptive quantization depending on your content. For homogeneous content, such as cartoons and video games, set it to Low. For content with a wider variety of textures, set it to High or Higher. To manually enable or disable H264SpatialAdaptiveQuantization, you must set Adaptive quantization to a value other than AUTO.
        Parameters:

        When you do frame rate conversion from 23.976 frames per second (fps) to 29.97 fps, and your output scan type is interlaced, you can optionally enable hard or soft telecine to create a smoother picture. Hard telecine produces a 29.97i output. Soft telecine produces an output with a 23.976 output that signals to the video player device to do the conversion during play back. When you keep the default value, None, MediaConvert does a standard frame rate conversion to 29.97 without doing anything with the field polarity to create a smoother picture.
        Parameters:

When you set H264AdaptiveQuantization to a value other than AUTO, the default value for H264TemporalAdaptiveQuantization is Enabled. Keep this default value to adjust quantization within each frame based on temporal variation of content complexity. When you enable this feature, the encoder uses fewer bits on areas of the frame that aren't moving and uses more bits on complex objects with sharp edges that move a lot. For example, this feature improves the readability of text tickers on newscasts and scoreboards on sports matches. Enabling this feature will almost always improve your video quality. Note, though, that this feature doesn't take into account where the viewer's attention is likely to be.
