If you’ve already created a sequence, and didn’t pay attention to the settings, you can go to Sequence Settings ( Sequence > Sequence Settings) and change them there. If you create a new sequence manually in Premiere Pro ( File > New > Sequence), you’ll see this dialog. You’ll find both the Maximum Render Quality and the Maximum Bit Depth settings in at least three different places in Premiere Pro: In the New Sequence dialog, in the Sequence Settings and in the Export Settings.

Test 17: Sony RAW Source, Scaled to HD, Export to ProRes 422 HQ, MRQ settings.

Test 16: JPEG2k source, Scaled to HD, Export to ProRes 422 HQ, MRQ settings.

Test 15: Cineform source, Scaled to HD, Export to ProRes 422 HQ, MRQ settings.

Test 14: RED source, Scaled to HD, Export to ProRes 422 HQ, MRQ settings.

Test 13: RED source, Scaled, Export to ProRes 422 HQ, MRQ settings.

Test 12: RED source, Export to ProRes 422 HQ, MBD settings.

Test 11: Export to ProRes 422 HQ, with scaling at 120% and Unsharp Mask effect at 0%.

Test 10: Difference mode, with rotation set to 10 degrees, no scaling.

Test 9: Export to ProRes 422 HQ, with rotation set to 10 degrees, no scaling.

Test 7: Export to ProRes 422 HQ, with scaling set to 120%.

Test 6: Export to ProRes 422 HQ, no scaling.

Test 5: Difference mode, with Lumetri effect (RGB Curve).

Test 4: Export to ProRes 422 HQ, with Lumetri effect (RGB Curve), GPU disabled.

Test 3: Export to ProRes 422 HQ, with Lumetri effect (RGB Curve), GPU enabled.

Test 2: Comparison of exported files from test 1, Difference mode, No effects.

Test 1: Export to ProRes 422 HQ, No effects.“The export will match what you see in the program monitor”.“When you have GPU acceleration enabled, the settings don’t matter”.“Maximum Bit Depth doesn’t help if your source or destination file is 8-bit”.“Maximum Render Quality only affects scaling”.Max Render Quality affects how some formats are decoded.Max Render Quality also affects the way color is rendered.

Your choices in Sequence Settings don’t matter that much.You don’t normally see full quality in the program monitor.Premiere Pro has several different scaling algorithms.

OK, but what does “Better Scaling” mean, exactly?.The often-overlooked Depth choice in Export Settings.Maximum Bit Depth affects the decoding of some formats.How can you tell if a clip is rendered in GPU mode or Software Only mode?.
