Hello, I am making a film using the native IClone 7 renderer. I plan to edit in Hitfilm Express; however, I would like to get the best quality footage possible in my renders.
Does resolution of my monitor affect the quality of render when I select Preview and Optimize With Fullscreen Render for video renders? Would usiing a 4K monitor fullscreen provide better renders than my current 1080 monitor?
I would not use Preview as that will result in lower quality in my experience.
I would render as an PNG image sequence to avoid codec artifacts. That way also, you can experiment with various render settings on a single frame and judge what's best in your case.
I have a 4k monitor and use the Optimize With Fullscreen Render. In general, I no longer use super-sampling as that may interfere with DOF quality. However, sometimes super-sampling is necessary to avoid a moire effect (rings) on surfaces. For that reason there is also an option to add some noise to the render.
What is "best" depends on the situation, so single-frame render tests are useful to see what's best in your case.
