i doubt a bit......
The target data rate of Apple ProRes 422 LT is approximately 102 Mbps at 1920 x 1080 and 29.97 fps.
The target data rate of Apple ProRes 422 HQ is approximately 220 Mbps at 1920 x 1080 and 29.97 fps.
there is always a quality loss with transcode.... why not lower the odds.... ?
is vmix codec 8 bit or 10 bit ?
cheers,
