Hi,
as I just came back home with a couple of 1000 frames from northern lights and the winter autumn milky way taken in northern Norway I am wondering about the quality difference between the video outputs of LRTimelapse.

Is there any comparison between high - very high - ultra high as well as pixel formats 420 422 444 available.

With no means I am going to use the shoots for professional usage but it would be nice to get the best out of them anyway.
Edit: Just in case someone is interested I would happily share some of the frames processed in Lightroom just to render the video.

Cheers,

Lars

PS: -17 Celsius in the middle of the night on the very top of some mountains is cold ;-)

High is already very good quality. Since the encoder does not use constant bitrates, I can't tell the exact bitrates.
For the pixel formats consult wikipedia, this is common video encoding knowledge.
For best output I recommend ProRes, normally 422 ist sufficient. For home use MP4/H.264 in pretty good as well. Just try it out!
