  Apple “NONE” Codec

  Posted by Tarquin Douglas on April 7, 2009 at 8:46 pm

  Hi,

  We have just moved onto a Blackmagic SDI card from an AJA card. I have always used NONE to capture in our (mostly) PAL footage. Does anyone else capture in using Apple NONE?

  I am not sure but on one recent job there seemed to be higher levels of black in our Quicktime captured file (which ened up as an MPEG 2 on a DVD).

  What is the best codec to capture in using the Blackmagic SDI card for the closet match to source material on a digibeta?

  Any work flows you use would be great to know.

  Cheers,

  T

  I thought the NONE codec was an RGB codec?

  Uncompressed 10bit would be the closest to the source material.

  I would use the Animation codec for RGB material. It supports an alpha and uses a lossless compression to make the files a little smaller.
