Using Adobe Premiere Pro or Media Encoder
$ Select the H.264 level that you want to be used to encode your video.
$ Select the Noise filter level that will be applied to your video before
encoding. Increasing the noise filter level reduces the amount of high
frequencies in your source video by softening the high-detail portions of
your video. Since high frequencies require more bits to encode, increasing
the noise filter level leaves more bits available for the encoding of other
frames, which can improve the overall quality of your encoded video.
However, if you lose too much detail in your encoded video you may need
to decrease the noise filter level.
