  Max Depth/Maximum Render Quality for baked video and upscaling on export.

  Posted by David Goodman on July 28, 2016 at 12:45 am

  Hello,

  I’m taking a video that was rendered at 720p MOV h264 and re-rendering on a Mac to ProRes at 1080p for playback on a cinema projector.

  My question is A) do I necessarily need to check the Maximum Depth setting since all effects and grading are more or less baked into the existing file. B) I am upscaling from 720p to 1080p so do I need to check MRQ? My understanding is that MRQ is used for better downscaling. I haven’t seen any mention of it improving upscaling.

  Normally I’d just leave them on, but the Mac is a base model and the render time with these settings off is 3 hours. With them on it is 17 hours. Deadline is tomorrow. Ha

  Thanks for any insights,

  Dave

  MRQ and Max Depth are not needed for this, as you’ve discovered it will only inflate your render times.
