Should I resize my video before Handbrake?
Posted: Tue Sep 11, 2018 4:37 pm
Description of problem or question:I am doing some video editing with Vegas Pro and making short movies. The end result that I want to achieve is 720p. The original video recordings are 1920p. I have the option to resize during the export with Vegas after editing and wondering if I should be render the video as 1920 or 720? I will be running the exported Vegas video through Handbrake afterwards to minimize the file size. Does it make a difference if Handbrake starts with a large file and goes down to 720, or should I be taking a 720 file through Handbrake to achieve the same 720 end result? Which if any would be the better quality?
