ProRes is lossly or almost lossly. and if you put the H264 CRF at 1, you’ll have something very very close to lossless. kind of impossible to see the difference.
Edit : i suggest you to put the CRF to 17, good result with that already, if not just use ProRes if you want the best result possible (be careful, the files are very big)
I wasn’t trying to teach you, except to say you can solve this in about 15 minutes. Who cares what is written about it? The only thing important is to SEE firsthand what it does.
I suppose a low CRF will do (typically, QP=0 is the way to go lossless with x264). Thing is, project itself is already going to take 2 days; spending time on H264 compressing as well (whereas I really just want a lossless, processable output), would take like a week.
What is curious to me, is that y’all have such a brilliant upscaler, but then no way to just output stuff losslessly, to be parsed to something else (like x265). Ideally, output to STDOUT would be perfect, so ppl, like me, can use their own procesing tools (with all custom tweaks), instead of relying on what I assume is nVidia’s (somewhat interferior) NVENC internal encoder Video Enhance A.I uses.
Would love the ability for us to properly view (including in split view) portrait videos with a “rotate” metadata flag. Happens often with portait videos recorded on iphones.
like jphilip said , juste use ProRes then. you’re on a trial… just try the software and enjoy. you’ll not find anyway, anywhere else a better product for doing upscalling actually. this software is pure magic.
I was thinking - how would Nvidia’s DLSS 2.2 (eliminates a lot of ghosting compared to 2.1) fare in VEAI as a scaler or a helper/supporter in scaling? Or AMD’s FSR?
If you want lossless then PNG/TIF output is your choice. That’s what I do for my serious projects.
After that I save a video file in Premiere Pro with a lossless codec (MagicYUV) with RGB colorspace to avoid any colorspace conversion when re-importing the video.
FYI, eventually I went with H264 + CRF = 0 (only parameter you can set, it seems), as I don’t have a free 4T drive at the moment to store all intermediate tiffs. Also, seems the upscaler lets my 1080 Ti do most of the work, so eta is rather reasonable, considering.
As for HVEC license, that is not what I meant. I meant to plead for an option whereby the upscaler outputs its data to STDOUT as, say, y4m, to be caught by a pipe, so a third-party encoder (x265, in my case – a public, free encoder) can pick up the data and compress it (with all kinds of detailed, custom tweaks). Especially since this upscaler is so awesome: worthy as a ‘filter’ in a longer chain.

Anyone has this issue? I got more of this issue with Adobe since v.2.2.0 (sometimes) and v.2.3.0 (frequently).
The same thing happens to me with the import of the videos and the loss of the settings.
On the other hand, it’s already solved to be able to select amount of grain less than 1
42746 frames times 0.34 sec/frame is a little over 4 hours. No idea why it says close to 10 hours. And before you ask the sec/frame number was only fluctuating by .02-.04
