HD codecs for stock footage
by elise london on Sep 28, 2009 at 7:51:57 pm

Hi,
I have a question about HD codecs. I am working on a project with a large amount of stock footage from a number of different footage houses. Some deliver their HD materials @ Prores 422, others at Motion JPEG A or B. Are either of these formats significantly preferable over the other?

I know we need to be editing in only one format, so we are planning on either transcoding to DVCPRO HD or in the new Prores Proxy format in FCS 7.

Does anybody have any suggestions/precautions regarding any of these formats, or on workflow issues? Which would be the best format to be editing in in terms of image quality?

Thanks!
