I would also distinguish “upload master” from “file I send directly to people.” For a platform upload, you can use a format the service accepts and l...
This is why acquisition/delivery codecs and editing intermediates solve different problems. A camera wants to fit a lot of high-quality video on a me...
Storage can be the hidden bottleneck too, especially with several streams. One HEVC file may have a lower bitrate than H.264, but multicam editing me...
That gives you efficiency without pretending the two formats are the same composition. Share structure, timing and source media; customize framing, gr...
Use the original 4:3 source for both. A finished 16:9 frame has already thrown away vertical information. Cropping that again to 9:16 forces you to wo...
I would lock geometry before the creative match. Choose the Insta360 reframing, horizon and approximate field of view first. Otherwise you are compari...
Place the most different clips next to each other on the timeline while matching. If you grade them in isolation, each one can look “good” but the cut...
Selective is the key word. Stabilization is not automatically better just because two stages are available. Preserve intentional camera movement and ...
I would only add a second stabilization stage for a specific residual problem. In-camera electronic stabilization has already analyzed motion and usua...
For mixed cameras, normalize each source family first. Convert DJI D-Log M to a normal working look, normalize the other camera separately, and only t...
Also distinguish a fixed horizon offset from a horizon that drifts over time. A fixed error may be easy to compensate. Drift suggests a different prob...
For multiple deliverables I would avoid making the vertical version by simply cropping the finished widescreen export. The subject position that works...
I also separate exposure from grading. If PureVideo gives you a cleaner, properly exposed starting point, you can still make creative color adjustment...
The first thing I would check is where the subject crossed the camera. A 360 camera has to combine two fisheye images, so a person moving very close t...
For most editing workflows, I would try proxies before a blanket HEVC-to-H.264 conversion. A normal transcode creates a new master-like file. If you ...
