Which option improves scaling quality during export at the cost of render time?

• A. Queue to render in Media Encoder.
• B. Use Maximum Render Quality.
• C. Enable hardware encoding.
• D. Export at the original source resolution.

Answer: (B)

When you need better results from resizing the video at export, using Maximum Render Quality is the right choice. This setting uses a higher-quality resampling method when scaling the image during export, which produces sharper edges and fewer artifacts compared with standard rendering. The trade-off is that it requires more processing, so render times increase. This is especially noticeable when exporting at a resolution different from the source sequence (for example, upscaling from 1080p to 4K). Other options don’t change the scaling quality: queueing to render in Media Encoder just shifts where the render happens, hardware encoding speeds up the process but doesn’t improve scaling, and exporting at the original source resolution avoids scaling altogether but won’t improve quality when a resize is needed.
