Just did extensive tests today to see what i can deliver to clients. Been delivering qhd on medium setting but 4k at 20k is much better and only 25% bigger file size

thanks for the tips. sorry im such a noob. im having some problems finding some render settings for Ultra Wide, noone has really covered this. all my gameplay footage is recorded in 3440x1440 and theres no default option for that. so i can change my timeline to custom 3440x1440 60fps and the render res as well. but what about quality value? im kind of lost on that. and is there anything else special i should be doing for Ultra Wide settings?

@nicegreat Жыл бұрын

When you change that to 4k some people say it will play on resolve slowly but at 1080p, it will be better, is it correct? Can change that option to 4k when ready to export but to work with the material at 1080p? Appreciate your answer.

Just my thoughts but I don’t think it’s wise to use “scale entire image to fit” in the project settings and then manually resize footage. By doing that you’re no longer scaling up the original quality of your footage but instead scaling up a rasterized version hence detail and data loss. It honestly surprises me how many Resolve channels get this wrong.

Instead of resizing the clips manually, go to the cut page. In the top right corner under Timeline Resolution select a dimension templates, e.g., portrait. To scale all footage, under Timeline resolution > Timeline Settings change Mismatches Resolution to Scale full frame with crop. If grayed out, deselect Project Settings. In the edit tab, adjust the X center to your liking.

@dannylightning-audio-reviews Жыл бұрын

if you choose quick time instead of mp4, when you go to0 audio export settings you can choose PCM instead of AAC, PCM should be lossless audio

@williamhouston559 Жыл бұрын

And per KZfaq the best quality for music videos is when the audio in the video is uncompressed PCM 24bit 44.1 sampling rate. A mastering engineer on Gearspace did a number of tests and confirmed that using 44.1 sample rate audio in the uploaded video yielded the best audio quality for music in KZfaq music videos.

@KDHildreth Жыл бұрын

Also by doing this (using PCM) you can avoid the problems resolve has with AAC audio and windows 10 (it's broken, they know about it and wont fix it) basically any high frequencies or noise in the audio will end up with a horrible metallic compression sound and also audio dropouts plus it will only render the AAC audio at 173kbps even though 192kbps is selected.

What happens if my clips are 4k i edit them on the 1920x1080 timeline and then in render tab i chose 4k for export. Davinci asks me if I want to render project with higher resolution. Is this the same as changing project setting before render or i lose quality because of it?

I actually recommend you do edit projects on a 1080p timeline. Then change the timeline resolution before you go to render it. This will allow all your titles and effects to resize accordingly

I'm sure YT would convert to H264 anyway as I don't think it is supported yet, I always render in H264. His bitrate was way too high, I use 45k for 2k (2704 1520)(YT recommends 25k for 60fps vids but I think 45k works better), and my vids look good. At 4k they recommend about 60k, I'd maybe do 75-80k, for 8k I wouldn't know, maybe 145k, massive file, but 8k would be!
