I'm finishing up my business launch video. This will be publicly available and is made more as an announcement to my current audience.
I have yet to add titles and transitions.
I have two important questions to help me polish this.
While I have read many threads with regard to blocky artifacts in shadows and dark areas, I haven't been able to negotiate those posts to relate it to my situation.
Starting at 2:40, the darker water has blocky business.
That's not the business I'm in.
I've adjusted it numerous times and have only succeeded in making it look weird. What you see in the video linked here is the best I've gotten it and I wonder if you can advise me on a solution to eliminate it.
Next question: from 3:26 to 3:50 (and in one of the mine scenes), I zoom to at least 2x, maybe more.
The source footage is 4K 10 bit.
In fact, the entire video is made up of 10 bit 4K footage.
Do I render the final project at 1080 because of the zoom that lasts less than a minute and compromise the resolution of the other 5 minutes of video.. or do I render the final project at 4K and compromise the integrity of the 20 seconds of of Zoom?
I'm excited to learn whatever I learn from y'all this time!
