>When you export a video in Apple ProRes 422 HQ (Constant Bit Rate) and then re-export that new video with the exact same settings, there is typically no noticeable loss of quality. Apple ProRes is a high-quality, high-bitrate codec designed to maintain visual fidelity even after multiple generations of encoding. Here’s why:>High Bitrate and Quality Preservation: ProRes 422 HQ is a professional-grade codec that uses a high bitrate to ensure minimal compression artifacts. This helps maintain the original quality of the video even after multiple encodings.>Intraframe Compression: ProRes uses intraframe (frame-by-frame) compression rather than interframe compression (which compresses across multiple frames). This means each frame is encoded independently, reducing the likelihood of cumulative quality loss over successive re-encodings.>Designed for Editing and Re-Encoding: ProRes was designed to be an intermediate codec, ideal for editing and multiple generations of processing. It's widely used in professional video production for this reason.>While theoretically, any re-encoding process involves some degree of quality degradation due to compression, the impact with ProRes 422 HQ is so minimal that it’s generally considered visually lossless for practical purposes. Therefore, you can re-export a ProRes 422 HQ video with the same settings without worrying about noticeable quality loss.Anyway this is /p/, we don't really do video here and most of us is retarded.
