Dear forum members,

while I'm getting better in taking drone videos, my skills in Premiere pro are'nt that good at all. While I most of the time like what I see when exporting 4k and fHD videos,  I realize that the principles of what I'm doing are not sound. H.265 or H.264 - I tried both and did'nt see much of a difference when I exported to MP4 what I always do. A friend told me that he exports his drone videos to prores? Are there advantages for that way?
Can someone suggest a good reading that can help me to get more professional?
Thanks for your support

Regards
Franz

You need to ask the people from the local festival for the required specs for the movie file.

It's all about the details!

 

What's the deliverables used for, on what types of screens?

 

Then you work backward from that. Workflows must always be planned from the specifics of the necessary final result ... so you know how to get where you need to get to, and can get there.

 

Let's start with that ... what do you need to have at the end? Framesize, framerate, and bitdepth and data rates?

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

You are absolutely right - it's the details.
I am working on a project to document a special region in Austria in outstanding mood, weather and perspectives. I want to show this documentation in a local mountain film festival, as far as I know they use 4k beamers. 
So far I have settled to take the videos in 5,1 k, 30fps and did'nt much care about bitdepth and bitrate (capturing in DLog 10 bit on my DJI Mavic 3 classic).
Thank you very much, Neil, for supporting me again!
