My concern is regarding H.264 I444 4:4:4 format (which is highly unsupported) and whether there is any editor/workflow that can use it in a time efficient manner.
#Davinci resolve support h.264 mp4#
The files are from Sony DSLRs and camcorders, such as the A7s and the older VG-30, as well as other mp4 and mts files, either from camcorders or exported videos from projects edited in different NLEs. Working with a 12 GB 1 hour vid turning into ~150 GB ProRes/DNxHR, editing, then exporting again to a 100 GB ProRes/DNxHR before final encode into H.264 I444 is just not feasible for 6 hours of footage or more of cutscenes/story based ganeplay. I downloaded and installed the latest free version of Resolve and upon import of various H.264 media files I get the 'Media offline' icon. Similarly Resolve does not load a H.264 I444 but will load the transcoded ProRes/DNxHR 444. I am aware that most players/YT use 4:2:0 but like I mentioned Premiere Pro is causing color shifts with H.264 I444 video but not with a transcoded ProRes/DNxHR 444.
#Davinci resolve support h.264 archive#
I mean to archive gameplay for games I like cause usually YT cutscenes tend to be lower quality than what I would like. So is anyone else out there recording in I444 and editing their videos easily? Is there some workflow I can follow that would help save time and space?Īah okay, I should have specified.
So obviously working this way with 4-6 hours of recordings quickly becomes impossible unless I get like 200 TB of disk space. However, a 60 minute 12 GB video turns into ~150 GB DNxHR/ProRes. Now I can transcode my OBS recording to DNxHR/ProResbfor 444 format, import into Resolve/PremierePro, edit, export as same, then ffmpeg it into yuv444p color format. DaVinci Resolve free (not Studio) fails to even load the video (I am told paid Studio version might be able to) and Premiere Pro shifts the colors to 4:2:0 where upon the blacks look darker, whites look brighter and the resulting video is worst than had I recorded using NV12 4:2:0. The problem, after days of research, is that most video editors do not support this mode. Now H.264 in I444 uses High 4:4:4 Predictive YUV 8-bit color format. In other modes, the red/redish objects are blurred. Details in red/redish colors are not lost in this mode. So I have been experimenting with OBS' I444 color space and found the videos look very much on par with what is present on screen.
