Export to uncompressed.io
We stream the exact file you upload — no re-encode, ever. So export the best file a browser can play, and you're done. We've made that one download per app:
Download yours, then follow its three steps below.
DaVinci Resolve
- 1Drop uncompressed-resolve.py into Resolve's Scripts folder:~/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Fusion/Scripts/Utility%APPDATA%\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\Fusion\Scripts\Utility
- 2Create a file named
.uncompressedin your home folder with one line — your key is in the dashboard's API key panel:api_key=paste-your-key-here - 3Render your film, then Workspace → Scripts → uncompressed-resolve. It uploads your latest render and prints the watch link in the Console. First run also installs the “uncompressed.io master (HEVC)” render preset on your Deliver page.
Prefer to set the export by hand?+
- On the Deliver page — Format: MP4 · Codec: H.265
- Encoding Profile: Main10 — that's the 10-bit switch
- Quality → Restrict to: 150,000 Kb/s for 4K (40,000 for 1080p · up to 200,000 for 6K–8K)
- Resolution & frame rate: match your timeline
- Audio: AAC · 320 Kb/s → Add to Render Queue → Render All
Premiere Pro
- 1Unzip the presets — three files, one each for 1080p, 4K and 8K.
- 2In File → Export → Media, click the ⋯ beside the preset name → Import Presets… → pick all three. They land under Custom.
- 3Choose the one matching your timeline, hit Export, then upload the file from your dashboard.
Prefer to set the export by hand?+
- Format: HEVC (H.265) · Preset: Match Source
- Video → Profile: Main10 · Depth: 10-bit
- Tier: High — Main tier clamps the bitrate ceiling
- Bitrate: VBR, 1 pass — Target / Max: 35 / 50 Mbps in 1080p · 100 / 150 in 4K · 175 / 200 in 8K
- Tick Render at Maximum Depth and Use Maximum Render Quality
- Audio: AAC · 320 kbps · 48 kHz → Export
Final Cut Pro
- 1Double-click the downloaded setting — Compressor opens and “uncompressed.io master (HEVC)” appears under Custom. (If macOS asks, click Open — or simply drag the file into Compressor's Settings list. No unzipping, no warnings.)
- 2In Final Cut: File → Send to Compressor, pick the setting — or add it as a Share destination for next time.
- 3Upload the exported file from your dashboard.
Prefer to build the Compressor setting yourself?+
- In Compressor, create a custom setting — Format: MPEG-4
- Video codec: HEVC 10-bit
- Data rate: Custom — 150,000 kbps for 4K (40,000 for 1080p)
- Resolution & frame rate: Automatic — matches your project
- Audio: AAC · 320 kbps
After Effects
After Effects renders through Media Encoder — and Media Encoder reads the same Premiere presets above.
- 1Composition → Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue
- 2In Media Encoder's Preset Browser, Import Presets (the three Premiere files) — then apply the one matching your comp.
- 3Start the queue, upload the file from your dashboard.
What's in these presets — the uncompressed.io master spec+
- Codec : H.265 / HEVC — Main10 profile (10-bit, 4:2:0)
- Container: MP4 or MOV with the
hvc1tag (Premiere and Final Cut write this correctly) - Resolution & frame rate: match your timeline — never downscale
- Bitrate: 100–150 Mbps for 4K · 30–50 Mbps for 1080p · up to ~200 Mbps for 6K–8K
- Audio : AAC, 320 kbps
Why not ProRes? Browsers can't decode it — keep ProRes 422 HQ as the master in your own archive and upload this instead. At 100–150 Mbps for 4K that's 5–7× the bitrate Vimeo's 4K delivery tops out at, and it plays everywhere. Compatibility alternative: H.264 High profile, 8-bit, at the same bitrates — only if a client is stuck on very old hardware; you lose the 10-bit gradients.
