  • If I’m cropping and zooming in a lot, should I transfer files as Pro Res HQ?

    I’m working on a project and all the files I ingested are Pro Res (just plain pro res. neither HQ nor proxy). That said, I’m doing a lot of cropping and zooming in. Will everything look better when i zoom in if the footage is Pro Res HQ? I know normally it makes no difference. But I’m wondering if the cropping and zooming changes the answer here.

    The improvement between Pro Res 422 and prores HQ is small, but you’ll be using up way more drive space for the larger file sizes.
