I like this idea! Although I have no setting that I can see that allows me to select “HVEC” format particularly. I just have a setting that lets me choose between “High Efficiency” and “Most Compatible”. I keep mine on the high efficiency and in the description one of the formats is HVEC.
I’m seriously debating filming some really important videos in 4K@24/30fps and then record most of the videos in 1080p@30fps. This way I can save a ton of space, yet still get some really high quality videos in.
Thanks for the advice Sea-Bottle6335! I had been recording my first 5-10 or so videos on my PC. I have streamlabs OBS for recording and an Elgato Facecam Pro (it can record 4k@60fps) and a sure SM7B mic. But I would have to go back and see what format I recorded those videos in. Sorry, I can’t remember the format off the top of my head.
But I got the new IPhone 15 pro max in hopes to start using it as the new way for me to make the videos. I am hoping that the phone will simplify things, plus it will back up my videos to the cloud, which is big for me.
If you have any suggestions on exactly what settings to use while recording I’ll take all the advice I can get. But I feel like I have figured it out already. Basically ProRes is useless to me, so I just turned it off in settings. And I am planning on recording the more “important” videos in 4K@24fps and then record most of the videos in 1080p @ 30fps to save on file size. To be honest, I may just record all of them in 1080p @ 30fps, to keep the file size as low as possible.
I have heard a lot of people suggest burning blue ray disk with the videos on them and I definitely want to try that as well as backing up to other hard drives, iCloud, and hopefully YouTube.
Hopefully what I’m thinking about doing matches up with what you were talking about?
