Decode Quality Question

PostSun Mar 07, 2021 4:36 pm

Hello,

When setting the Decode quality for Camera Raw when coloring Red footage does it affect your export if you work in Quarter Res?

In other words should you be set to full res when exporting? Or is the decode quality only for playback speed?

Not sure if I am lowering the quality of my project by working in quarter res and exporting while still in that setting.

Thanks

The export will be affected. (This is good for quick review copies.)

There is an option to set Debayer to highest quality in the Advanced section of the Video tab on the Deliver page to make sure you get best results.
My Biases:

You NEED training.
You NEED a desktop.
You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.
