Ive tried searching and didnt find anything, what im wondering is what is the best
settings to get the best quality from my hpx. like what codec to use and bitrates.

as of now im using mp4 and it looks alright, should i render it as h264 for better quality?


heres some test clips

imo the rainbow one looks kinda dull and not as sharp?


i also plan on getting vimeo + in the future.

thanks for any help.

To edit? Use the actual MXF files without transcoding to anything.

MP4 and H.264 aren't editing codecs; they're delivery codecs, and you're torpedoing your quality if you're editing with them.
