Adobe best render settings

[Joe Cage]

Hello,

I was wondering if there are any updates on what the best render settings are in Adobe for losless and web delivery vimeo.

1: Web Delivery.
In the past I did soms tests for uploading to vimeo. And found that rendering to prores gave me the best quality for vimeo. ( DNxHD was similar). But I read somewhere that cineform is also good these days.

2: lessless.
Actually I do most of my editing and coloring in Davinci Resolve these days. But the stabilizer in Resolve is not as good as warp stabilizer. Which is why I load my footage into Adobe After Effects and apply warp stabilizer. But I am not sure what the best lossless render settings are for rendering it back out and importing it in Resolve and start grading, as I just tested it with proresHQ . But I already see that there is a loss of quality compared to the original footage(also prores btw). Does Adobe Media Encoder give better quality output then the renderer in After Effects?

Thanks!

You can actually render from AE through Adobe Media Encoder. Dunno does it give a better result, but I always render through it - just to check if the render stucks, on what clip does the problem occur. If you're on Win PC - try DNxHR 444 12-bit. If Mac, I'd go for a rountrip with Prores 444 (even if the footage is 422).
