Getting weird unwanted lines on the dark parts of my video.

that video on my laptop looked really nice. maybe some guy getting ready for , or discarding some golden glove boxing match ? Something personal about the boxer.

Lookd nice to me.

Did you delete the color cause you couldn't get it right ?

It's powerful as b&w so I like it.

Un-check Render at Maximun Depth unless you really know what it does and that you know that you need it. Render at Maximun Depth and Maximum Render Quality are two settings that few people really need and when they are checked for the sake of it it do often create problems. Yes, Adobe gave them misleading names and do not describe in more detail what the settings do and when to use them, and when not to use them.

I would up the bit rate as well when exporting H.264. 140 is on the light side for 6K footage.

As a test, render out the same segment of video using the GoPro CineForm codec and import it into Premiere Pro and see how it looks there. If it looks good, try to upload it to Vimeo and see how it looks when uploaded.

I ran this just now on my UHD monitor, using the 4k option from Vimeo ... and I can't see any jaggies or such anywhere.

If you could give me a time for a frame showing exactly what you mean, and tell me where to look, I'd appreciate it.

Proxy isn't a problem here. Premiere stores the data from the effects on the sequence, simply applies them to the media used for internal playback, so the use of proxies just means less work on the CPU during playback.

As to the export, Premiere again takes the data for the effects used, the original media ... and applies the effects data to the original media.

I'll add ... Max Render Q applies to major resizing being done during the export ... if you're not resizing in the export, and getting jaggies on diagonal lines, MRQ is not of use and can at times be a problem. Leave it off if not resizing.

By looking bad, looking compressed ... I'm not sure what you mean. I looked at the clip, but of course have no clue what the original or export look like against each other. Before/after frame-grabs would be good.

Plus ... understand ... color management across devices, services, and with your computer is basically a broken wasteland. As any colorist knows, you simply setup a system that follows the Rec.709 from gear through calibrated monitor, within a pro app like Premiere, and ... after export, what happens in other services and other computers is out of your control.

It will never look exactly like what you saw ... it never can.
