| Step | Why It Matters | Tips | |------|----------------|------| | | The encoding process can’t add detail that isn’t there. | Use a camera that records at least 1080p @ 30 fps in a flat/Log profile if you’ll color‑grade later. | | Keep the source in a lossless or lightly compressed format | Avoid generation loss before final MP4. | ProRes, DNxHR, or even an uncompressed yuv sequence are ideal. | | Normalize frame‑rate | Mixed frame‑rates cause jitter. | Convert to a constant frame‑rate (CFR) using ffmpeg -r . | | Correct color space & gamma | Wrong color leads to washed‑out MP4s. | Convert to Rec. 709 (SDR) or Rec. 2020 (HDR) before encoding. | | Trim & concatenate | Remove unwanted footage early. | Use ffmpeg -ss (seek) and -t (duration) or concat demuxer. | pppd515mp4 better
