    The docs are really vague about this, I'm not sure what transcoding a video in Unity does, but it messes up the colors of the video.

    Should I enable it?

    And if so, how do I prevent the colors being wrong?
    Should I use a different file format than H.264 MP4?
    I make the videos myself, so I can easily render it to a different format, I just need to know which one is best suited.

    Do you want me to delete your two threads so you can ask on that forum?

    Right, yeah, I posted there initially with a bunch of questions in one post, but it seemed like I won't get a reply there so I thought I'd post in a more general forum.

    I don't really "want" them to be deleted, I just want help.
    But if you feel like they should be removed then go ahead.

    This one?
    You only posted it 4 hours ago. You cannot expect an instant answer. :)

    I'll leave you to it but just know that cross-posting is something we like to avoid.

    Hope you get an answer though.
