I'm experiencing similar problems so I'll post here rather than making a new thread.
I've put together a TL using post-processed RAW files (16MP) according to your visual workflow, exported to JPGs (default preset) and then rendered some videos. Trying to watch them in QuickTime and VLC, anything above 4K/24p is unwatchable. Here are my results:
- h264-420_3K_30_VHQ - Plays fine
- h264-420_4KUHD_24_HQ - Plays fine
- h264-420_4KUHD_24_VHQ - Very choppy, halts for a few seconds and resumes (QuickTime). VLC will not play (no motion)
- h264-420_4KUHD_30_HQ - Almost smooth initially, halts for a few seconds and resumes (QuickTime). VLC really struggles (artifacts, choppy)
- h264-420_4KUHD_30_VHQ- Similar result as 24p VHQ, perhaps a little more exaggerated
I have:
Latest OSX Sierra
Latest iMac with i7 4.0GHz Skylake CPU, Radeon R9 M390 GPU
LRT 4.7.4, DNG Converter 9.8
Latest Lightroom (CC 2015.7)
VLC 2.2.4
I cannot imagine I'm hardware limited. Is the software codecs/players really the problem here - they cannot handle it?
I need 4K, 30p at the very least for my timelapses. Please advise!
