How Much Does Resolution Matter? Resolution vs Bitrate

[@cb2000a]

It's ironic in a way. Everyone chasing higher resolution, but then softening it to look more like film.

[@kptktp_09029]

It's not Ironic. They produce the high quality, sharp looking so that you have more choice in doing post-production. You can soften a detail image, but you cannot do the reverse(As the detail data was lost already)

[@HighRollersLounge]

That was nice and all, but I was expecting 1080p with a high bitrate vs 4K with a low bit rate :/

[@jared_taylor]

🤔 Next video 🤷

[@andersistbesser]

What interests me is if a higher rate is better for heavy colorgrading

[@jared_taylor]

Definitely!

[@chak_dz6961]

I'm watching this on my s20 plus, i pulled the res to 4k and YES 4k turned out beter looking than the 6k, suprisingly

[@seancloutier2577]

I may be wrong...but I thought the bitrate 200 vs 400 for example gave you more information in post for color grading etc...

[@Leukick]

Does a higher bitrate allow for further color grading capabilities? Like at 600mbps would you be able to push/pull color grading adjustments further in post you think?

[@jared_taylor]

Yes absolutely! Especially if the color bit depth is higher too. In this scenario the GH5 was always 10 bit and the Pocket 4K was 12 bit color plus a totally different compression type which is way more flexible. The standard color depth is 8 bit which can easily cause banding in the sky or colors to break especially if the color grade is pushed. In fact, on the GH5 if you use the V-Log color profile and an 8-bit setting, it will break. It’s not very good and 10-bit is recommended for V-Log.

[@Leukick]

@@jared_taylor That's great, so assuming all clips are already at 10-bit, 4:2:2, Log; 600mbps should still be able to handle color grading adjustments than the 200mbps?

[@jared_taylor]

@@Leukick yeah that does seem logical to me. Could be one of those things where the naked eye may not notice especially after it’s on KZbin. This could be a good test to see how big the difference and do some pixel peeping

[@seancloutier2577]

@@jared_taylor I would be curious to see a video on color graing differences regarding mbps.....I know bit depth makes a differenc 8 vs 10 vs 12...but on the Sony FX30 and FX3. the 100mbps and 240 mbps options at 24p...do not seem to make a difference...I wonder if the difference has to be larger like 100 mbps. vs 600 mbps...

[@cdreyes81]

everyone leaves out 1080p capture. What about adding high 1080p vs low 4k.

[@bowserlv100]

400Mbps? Yes! But make test in 1080p and 480Mbps. 😊

[@jared_taylor]

okay 👍🏼 I am writing it down to do that! Thanks

[@Progressive.G]

Great video 👍

[@chickenslothstudios699]

I sell TV's and it's so hard to explain this to people. Comcast and other 720p cable would look ok if they gave a good bit rate. Instead they choose garbage. I had a blu-ray of toy story 4 playing on a 77 a80k oled and it looked great, even up close as long as you didn't add tons of sharpness and blow out the colors.

[@rubenalonsoviguerassalazar1539]

Great. Which 1080p cameras has a high bit rate?

[@jared_taylor]

My pocket cinema camera from Blackmagic has that option

[@Titan-ih4sr]

Got a 4k screen but noticed no difference. Cool family though.

[@jared_taylor]

Thanks dude! And yeah that’s good that there wasn’t really a difference. Goes to show resolution is not king, but marketing usually makes it about that. Did you notice any difference when I switched cameras completely? Like when the bitrate was 650mbps or so?

[@Ellie81998]

I do see a difference Between the two when i watch it in 4k but i also think it's because of my premium smartphone from Samsung (Galaxy s23 ultra) it has an Excellent panel.

[@TNS-AudioMastering]

hmm

[@Sui778]

Using such high bitrates as examples is kinda pointless. The vast majority of KZbin creators aren't going to be uploading 400mbps files at any resolution - it's a waste of time and storage space.

[@WinterMute99]

I do wander what extreme differences would be. Let’s say 10mbit 4K VS 200mbit 1080
