Only chatGPT has these kinds of comments as if you’re seeing code for the first time. 😆
I’m not against adding comments where is needed: in the company I work for (a big bank) my team takes care of a few modules and we added comments on one class that is responsible to make some very custom UI component with lots of calculations and low level manipulations. It’s basically a team of seniors and no one was against that monster having comments to explain what it was doing in case we had to go back and change something.
For 99% of the code you just need to have good names though.
Just a reminder that reencoding already compressed videos is a recipe for destroying the quality, unless you’re using a very high bitrate, which quite often gets you the same size as the input video.
I think the consensus is that if your video isn’t 4k or higher, there isn’t much gain in using HEVC if it is already H.264.
So if you want to store them long term, reencoding them now means that if you decide to do it again later (for whatever reason) you’ll have too many artifacts accumulated.
Yeah, a video is a video.
That’s a bold statement.
