The primary difference between blu-ray and 4K isn’t the resolution: it’s that UHD discs are typically graded for HDR and THAT difference is dramatic if you have a display/pipeline that can show it properly! The difference in grading is also likely why the 4K Guardians disc looked darker if you aren’t using an HDR display.
Movies with lots of cgi often are 2k upscales, movies shot on 35mm with a 4k scan do look sharper and many movies shot on 4k or above cameras also look sharper. That said it's like the others said, it's the HDR that's the main difference. The closest you'll get to a 35mm print
A question on bitrates - if you use 4500kbps for 1080p blu-rays, do you use 18000kbps for 4K or something in-between? I know bitrates aren’t an exact thing as it depends on content (hence the use of CQ or CRF settings) but I’m interested in your thoughts on it. I’ve used 12500kbps but maybe my visual acuity isn’t what it was😢
I keep my settings the same for 4k as 1080. But its best people try different settings and find what works for them. When I first started ripping and compressing years ago with blu-ray. I found that 4500kbps gave me the best video quality with a smooth picture, anything lower I noticed a lot bitchiness in solids and transitions.
I shot a video in 4k (25p 100) in dimensions 16:9 and in the editing software I turned it to 9:16 so that it fits Tiktok. How do I shrink it to fit WhatsApp, that is, up to 64 mb without harming its quality because it seems to come out "smeared" in WhatsApp? Thanks
The reason it’s so dark is that your video player does not handle hdr. That movie should be hdr if it’s like the one I have. When you have the right player and tv 4K puts a whooopin on 1080p. Also.. 1080p is not 2k. I think that’s what you said. That’s 2560x1440
@@techmadeez9037 They are, i just shot one in 4.6k but the deliverable is 1080P. It just means I can do some digital zooming or the odd pan and scan to liven a scene up. I guess if it was a sci-fi spectacular people might watch in 4k blu-ray but mines a romcom designed for streaming not cinema.

2:30 that's because 4K movies are HDR and HDR movies are way darker than SDR movies even when you're watching it with a HDR TV.
It's only darker because you're watching an HDR movie on an regular TV/screen!

Was shot on an Arri Alexa XT which is 3.2K

4K isn't 4K either.
I meant to say that a lot of 4k movies were shot in 2k and up scaled to 4k. I do believe that more and more movies now are filmed in 4k.
