Hi @ajohnson,
Thanks for getting back.
Yay, the sg_uploaded_moive stores the original uploaded media, which is not compressed while the web players are streaming the transcoded mp4 or webm media. To get a highres review workflow, you could check the post below and see if any of these works for you.
With DIY transcoding, as long as you generate/fill in MP4 and WebM field on Versions, you could playback well on Shotgun Create.
Send us a support ticket to request disable auto-transcoding and expose these two fields.
Cheers,
Ben
