GOP structure can also affect what happens after an edit point during export. If you use a true smart-render/copy workflow that avoids re-encoding, c...
That is probably the right goal: consistent enough that the cut is not distracting, but not so identical that I erase the reason for using two camera ...
I duplicate the sequence after the story is mostly locked. One version becomes the widescreen master and the other becomes the vertical master. Then I...
So a hybrid workflow makes sense: use fast flat output for immediate posts, but keep a full 360 master for the longer edit and later vertical recuts. ...
I also test the export before blaming the source. Render a short section at the final delivery resolution and compare it with the editor preview at th...
There is also a storage-management argument for proxies. Suppose the original HEVC set is 300 GB. A high-bitrate full-resolution H.264 transcode migh...
I will run the private-upload comparison on a fast biking section. That should answer the question for my channel better than assuming 4K is automatic...
That is more useful than “buy a gaming laptop.” I will compare decode support, cooling, RAM and SSD layout, then assume proxies are part of the workfl...
Reliable stabilization is still number one for me because it reduces the amount of footage I have to fix or discard.
Multiple delivery formats push me even more toward a late reframe. A composition that looks good in 16:9 may put the subject too close to the edge in ...
If storage and proxy generation are manageable, I would keep the higher-resolution source for shots where reframing matters.
