Talk about Serato Video and Video-SL.

Need NEW detailed official Encoding Settings to make videos compatiable

Does anyone have the specifics for what a video has to be encoded with what settings to be 100% compatible with Serato Video?

I have some videos that I would like use as media to play when i load up a song with no video, but the videos either show up as a black screen OR it just outright crashes Serato Video. The videos work in VLC outside of serato video. Tested on both Windows and OSX

I looked at other known working videos using mediainfo (program) and tried to reencode the video using handbrake and replicating those settings but I must be missing something cause when I try to play them in serato video, I'm getting the same results. Saw the official article, but it's outdated and i've tried what was stated.

Currently have tried in handbrake:

Mp4
x264
720p/1080p,
30/29.97 FPS
encode level to 4.0
cabac turned on or (off)
reference and b-frames to 2
bitrate to 2000 kbps with 2 pass

Inside encoding settings, what options or advanced options should I use?

Thanks

When you say you saw the official article was it this one linking to Serato's own preset?

It works for me on Mac with MixEmergency. I've not tried Serato video in a while though.
