[FFmpeg-user] Bad Quality Webm video with alpha

[Rafael Mancini]

Thanks a lot for your answer.

The WebM format is ideal for what I'm trying to do, which is alpha video
with good quality and decent size. It used to be the .flv which got
discontinued.

So I changed the command to Constant Quality: *ffmpeg -r 24 -i
InputFileName_%04d.png" -c:v libvpx-vp9 -crf 20 -b:v 0 OutputFileName.webm*

The quality is controled by the "-crf 20". I also tried the value of 30 but
only got really good quality at 20.

The file size is not what I expected. I got 32.5 MB for an 8 second video.
Idealy this value should be around 10-15 MB.

Any ideas on how to get a smaller file without loosing too much quality?
