Question

Video quality is poor after exporting (I'm so done!)

After exporting my project or video, no matter how I fiddle with the settings, nothing seems to produce the same high quality as the original video on the computer. I've changed my settings hundreds of times and exported using VBR Pass and CBR and nothing seems to work. This is so frustrating, it just deflates me and deters me off editing any of my footage. 

Any help would be GREATLY appriciated!

It's drone footage, probably using DJI codec? I see bunches of Youtube tutorials on how to edit this.

 

I only found one forum thread with this pixel size. @Averdahl, any thoughts?

To spare time try to export the most affected part of the timeline with 2 settings:

- h264 with disabled Hardware encoding (has to be in the export settings)

- Prores422. If this is fine, you can recompress it in Handbrake tool via x264 later on (constant quality mode, CRF20 or less)

Is there a reason why your export pixel size is different to your sequence size?

This was just one of the options I tried. I tried to reduce the output pixels in hope that it would make a difference.
