Exports looks low res

Feedback

I am uploading full 1080p res video, when I’m working within Recast to edit the file, add captions, etc. the quality seems great - however even though I’m exporting at 1080p, the quality of the video is diminished and looks low resolution.

Please see the attached screenshot - on the left is exported mp4 in quicktime and on the right is the editing mode in Recast, you can see the lack of definition in the text/captions and the host’s face, not to mention some issues with colour reproduction (noticeable difference in pinks). I have been very impressed with the quality Recast’s captions, however the lower resolution exports is making me consider other products.

    I think the colour reproduction is closer to quicktime, however the colour is a minor issue in comparison to the resolution issue - it is clearly downgraded on export despite selecting 1080p quality.

    Hi Natahn,

    Thanks a lot for sharing the detailed feedback.

    I understand your concern, and let me try to address those:

    You're right, there is a difference in the editor preview compared to the rendered video. It mainly depends on how different media players interpret color. Please see the images below.

    Quicktime:

    VLC:

    Browser:

    I would appreciate it if you could share how the video appears on the social media platform when you upload it. Is it the same as the QuickTime player or different?
