Hi! Hope you can help.
I'm shooting video with a Mavic Air 2/h.264/dlog/4k/60. However because of where I live a lot of the shots I take involve the sea and Premieres h.264 export encoding when it comes to this seems a little underwhelming. Lots of squares, artifacts etc on what is a nice, clean 4k source.
I've done a test export using Prores and this looks excellent; zero artifacts on the sea but huuuuuuuuge files.
I've also tried ramping the h.264 bitrate on the export up to max but it still produces artifacts.
I have no problem with large files, I have plenty of storage, the problem comes when sending the files to YouTube etc.
Any advice? Is the Premiere h.264 encoder just known to be pants? Would a Prores export followed by a 3rd party h.264 conversion be the way to go?
Cheers!
Dan
