Loss of Sharpness in Exported Video from Premiere Pro

Hey guys,

This is my first post here. I have gotten lost trying to Google my way through.

apologies if I don’t make things clear enough.

I’ve been struggling with losing sharpness in my A-cam

(Filmed with Black magic Pocket Cine Cam 6k - Blackmagic RAW 6k, 50frames, constant Bitrate, 12:1)

In comparison to my B cam

(Filmed with Cannon R5 - Rec 709, 4k, 50frames, IPB lite)

From what i can tell im losing sharpness through the lumetri color and export settings.

The Image despite not being the sharpest in the world when we filmed it raw is still much sharper than the export.

Premiere Pro settings:

Sequence:

I use the standard HD 1080p 25 fps Sequence present from Premiere Pro to edit in.

Export:

I export in H.264 FullHD (1920 x 1080), render at maximum depth, use maximum render quality, Hardware encoding, with a target bitrate of 25

Does anyone know a fix for this? or the reason it is happening?

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read.
