Hello,
my current challenge is that I want to render a h.264 4k UHD timelapse sequence from an 8mm fisheye lens using LRTimelapse 4.5.1 Pro and Lightroom CC. So I cannot crop the picture, but need to make the canvas larger so that I get the necessary 16:9 ratio. If I use a custom size for the video, Windows Media Player will refuse to display it. With ProRes, Quicktime can dispay the movie, but the black levels are horrible on a Windows machine, even with advanced settings switching off DirectX and the file size is much larger than h.264. VLC cannot handle those sizes at all and produces stutter, even with hardware acceleration turned on (although the computer itself is fairly powerful).
Can anyone please share some help on how to arrange a good workflow for this task?
Kind regards,
Frank
