I wasn’t sure whether it was better to revive this old thread or start a new one. Has there been any new developments on how to better render 4K to HD? I’m working with 4K footage from a Sony a7sii, downscaling to MainConcept AVC/AAC, Sony Tablet 1080p. Not only am I losing detail, it’s crushing colors together, giving skin an airbrushed look. This is without any adjustments or color corrections between input and output. When I render to 4K, the detail and color stays the same. (I’m not viewing on a 4K monitor, so technically I shouldn’t be seeing so drastic a change, right?)
Recommendations for better quality?
