Hello all! I've been using DaVinci Resolve for a little while now and am wondering if I could be making things easier on myself and so I wanted to see how others are shooting/editing on an iPhone and then exporting for use on YouTube. My overall goal is to retain as much quality as possible and to make the process easier if possible. Below is the process and settings I'm using in my workflow. Looking forward to your feedback!
1. 99% of my video is shot on an iPhone 12 Pro Max using the native Camera app. Settings are as follows:
Formats--
Camera Capture-
High Efficiency
Photo Capture-
Apple ProRAW - Off
Record Video-
4K at 60fps
Show PAL Formats - Off
HDR Video - On
Auto FPS - Auto 30 fps
Lock Camera - Off
Record Slo-mo-
1080p HD at 240 fps
Record Stereo Sound - On
Preserve Settings-
Camera Mode - Off
Creative Controls - Off
Exposure Adjustment - Off
Live Photo - On
Lens Correction - On
Smart HDR - On
2. After the video is recorded, I move it to my Windows PC. Because DaVinci resolve doesn't seem to like the MP4 container from iPhones, I first convert it using EaseFab Video Converter. Part of my concern with this is I feel like I'm probably losing some quality by re-encoding the file. Also, going back to step one, would using a different camera app like FiLMiC Pro allow me to avoid this step all together?
Video--
Video Codec: dnxhd
Bitrate(kbps): 75000
Resolution: 3840*2160
Frame Rate(fps): 60
Audio--
Audio Codec: pcm_s16le
Bitrate(kbps): 3210
Sample Rate(hz): 48000
Channels: 5.1 Channels
3. Drop all of the video into DaVinci Resolve for editing. Project Settings:
Timeline resolution - 3840x2160 Ultra HD
Pixel aspect ratio - Square
Timeline frame rate - 60
Playback frame rate - 60
4. Exporting the video for YouTube. Render Settings:
H.264 Master-
Format: MP4
Codec: H.264
Resolution: 3840x2160 Ultra HD
Frame rate: 60
Quality: Automatic - Best
Encoding Profile: Auto
Key Frames: Automatic
Again, I'm looing forward to some feedback on this process from some of the experts around here! TIA!
