  Besy Quality Compression for Editing?

  Posted by Craig L. on November 7, 2005 at 4:59 pm

  Hi! What do you guys think is the best codec to use for an editing quality file, but still downloadable? Like something you would download from a stock video site? Quicktime? Something else?

  Thanks!

  I like either Motion-JPEG QT for Interlaced, Photo-JPEG QT for Progressive, or PNG for Alpha channel content. On the PC, there is also the Huffyuv codec which does an excellent job.

  One more question. What software encodes photo jpeg? I have procoder and don’t see it as a preset? Does the quicktime pro encoder do this?

  Thanks!

  QT Pro will enode all of the codecs I mentioned, other than Huffyuv. In ProCoder, look under the QT options to set the codec for Photo-JPEG.
