FYI, here are my settings for Adobe Premier Pro. .mp4, 3840 X 2106 29.97 FPS, VBR 1 Pass Target 20 MBPS, Max 25 MBPS, AAC audio, 320 kbps, 48 khz. Stereo, Progressive, H265 HEVC, Render at Maximum Depth, Use Maximum Render Quality.
This project is currently just under 29 minutes long and it takes just under 6 days to render on computer A. The .mp4 file is 4,323,572 kb.
Here are the settings I use for DaVinci Resolve. .mov, Quicktime, H.265, 3840 X 2160 Ultra HD, 29.97, AAC Audio, 192 kbps, 16 bit, main 1, Stereo.
This project is HDR 10. It is just over 6 minutes long, takes only a few minutes to render on Computer C. The .mov file is 862,144 kb. After passing it through Hybrid, the new .mkv file is 168,129 kb.
The Hybrid processed file with HDR 10 metadata looks almost as good as the unprocessed file, but it does lose some quality. Resolve will probably be able to embed the metadata by the end of the year and then I will not need to process the file in Hybrid.
All three of these files play well on computer C from the hard drive. The Hybrid processed .mov file, now an .mkv, and the .mp4 directly from Premier, and the .mkv file created by Hybrid in pass through mode from the premier file, all play well from an external hard drive connected to my 4K HDR OLED TV via a USB port.
