The ProRes files weren’t available so I had to work off a h265. The output file is 90gb, I’ll send you a DM!!
Would it be possible for you to release the entire 90gb output file? it’s almost as big as other 4k releases as well. it would be a shame to see the quality degraded further (meaning doing an encode from an encode, especially with just pre-fabricated stock settings of encoders)
edit: Unless you mean it is 90gb in scenes/pictures and not as entire movie.
Sorry if I wasn’t being clear, but yes, 90gb is the size of the released files! I did check what the bitrate was on each of the scans and matched my encoder settings to this. In the case of FOTR, the scan was of lower bitrate and it somehow showed, especially in the grain resolution. So I very slightly sharpened the image and exported it at a bitrate similar as the two other instalments, and I think it did a good job! I know I can’t retrieve something that was lost, but at least I know I’m not losing anything else
