I record a lot of video using OBS QuickSync. Problem is my editor doesn't like the MP4 qsync spits out so i have to re-encode with handbrake. I'm wondering if i want something that is easy on the editor, what should i do?
so far i have H.264(x264), constant framerate, FPS is same as source, constant quality of 21 (i record at a constant quality of 22 and constant fps), encoder profile set to high, level set to auto.
i have this in extra options: keyint=15:min-keyint=1:bframes=0 and i have fast decode checked.
all of the above was a recommendation from a hitfilm tutorial, but one thing it didn't tell me is i picked H.264 (Intel QSV) and applied all the same settings (QSV doesn't seem to have Fast Decode) would it still be just as easy to edit?

I'd use a higher quality setting for both the capture and the HB encode to reduce the repeated lossy encode (with a least 2 more lossy encodes to go) loss.

I would never use hardware rendering for an intermediate render. Already-lossy encoding is bad enough!
RF=0 is lossless but editors may not support Hi10P.
