“I know that YouTube recompresses videos, but does uploading in ProRes 422 HQ instead of H.264 actually make any noticeable difference? I did some testing, and I’m not sure if I could spot anything major. Sometimes the image looks just a tiny bit sharper, but that could just be placebo. I’m using an OLED display, and the only thing I consistently noticed is that the blacks look slightly deeper. I mainly work with 4K and 8K videos.

My second question is: does enabling two-pass rendering make any visible difference in image quality compared to having it disabled?”

Does anyone know if switching between presets like fast, medium, and slow when rendering a video actually makes any difference? I’ve rendered several videos using different presets, but I can’t notice any visible change. Is there any especific ocasion that would make a difference? Choose slow or medium would make any difference when posting on youtube? 4K or 8k?
