  • Does bit depth & max render inprove quality?

    Posted by Mike Prindle on January 11, 2010 at 11:23 pm

    If I check-boxes: Max Bit Depth & Max Render Quality boxes in Sequence Settings (with Preferences > Optimize Render set to Memory) — will output quality really make a noticeable different?

    Has anyone tried and compared output difference?

    Thanx, Mike

    Max bit depth will improve if you did color correction for example, and if the format you are exporting to supports higher bit depth.

    Max render quality will mostly improve scaling, especially if you are down-converting from HD.

    I had wondered the same thing. What he’s talking about is the check boxes in the sequence settings, not in the export settings. Does anyone know if these actually improve the quality of the exported video, or only improve the quality of the preview files generated from rendering your sequence (and thus only improving quality of playback within premiere)?
