Re: best codec/format for exporting to AfterEffects

Thanks Jeff, the source is AVCHD, but it's edited and has filters applied so it's a re-compress scenario anyways. Are you saying there is an advantage to use the same codec for output as what was used to capture even though there is recompression?

Being in a hurry, I ended up doing a limited simple trial with 3 formats and playing them side by side in AE. I ended up using MXF preset I create earlier as that produced the best result without tweaking. Dunno if I made the "right" choice, but we'll see how it goes with CPU utilisation I guess. My machine's not that quick.
