The work flow that i use is that ideally i would render an uncompressed file, then i use a program called zarx to convert the uncompressed avi to a compressed mp4,
The reason i do this is because this is the only way in which i have found to create a smal-ish file size with a good picture quality. when rendering with any other codec such as mainconsept ect, i get a horrible dark picture, the sharpness is fine, but only the middle of the picture is light enough to see what’s going on.
The reason why i dont understand this, is that even if the raw file is in the same codec as i export in, if its lossless i get the lines.
If you know a way to render with a non lossless codec, but to not get the dark edges that would work as well
