Do you really mean DVD (standard def) or Blu-Ray (HD)?

Typically cutting short form from HD MP4 and P2 MXF.

Roman, see if you can tell us more about what doesn’t “feel right” to you.

One possibility is, that if the original footage was overexposed, you may be losing detail in the face, even if you have the levels under control now. You can’t regain detail that isn’t there.

What “lines” are you referring to? We need much more information.

Without knowing MUCH more, like the system and storage you have, the system and storage of the folks you would be sharing with, etc. this is pure guesswork.

Not knowing what work is being handled by whom, I would at least consider sharing all the original footage. I would not render h.264 to any other lossy codec, that’s for sure. But blowing it up (in size) with a non-lossy or uncompressed codec probably isn’t the answer either.

Knowing what very little we know, I’d say copy and share the original footage.

Adam, there’s a LOT more than two render options in the Adobe suite, so I guessing you may not be experienced with it.

We need more information, such as the computer you are using and how it is equipped, the exact version of the software you are using, the format/codec of your original source files, your sequence settings for your project and your render output settings.

See my signature below for an example of the kinds of information that will help us get started helping you.

Your playback may be set a half resolution, but returns to full resolution when you pause. Depends on how you have Premiere Pro set up for playback, and whether or not your system will support full resolution playback of your media.

Also sometimes called a “Spielberg zoom” although he was certainly not the first to utilize it.

If that OBS you mentioned created variable frame rate videos, that is indeed the source of grief. You’ll always want to transcode anything variable frame rate (like anything recorded on iPhones with the native app) to a codec with a fixed frame rate.

Shane speaks truth. The issue, once again is the final codec. We cannot go high-end through the whole process, then squeeze the livin’ daylights out of the product at the end, and expect no consequences.

You need a lossless codec for your final render. It will result in a large file. Physics. No free lunch. You will run into this same issue with any edit system you sit in front of.

One things that has not yet been mentioned is how and where you are storing your video. Where is your footage, and what is the connection type to the system? Internal drive, External? How connected? Please don’t say your footage is on the C drive.
