2013 Best Practice of Format/CODEC
OK. Here’s an update from last year’s post.
Please give your recommendation for working with say, an DSLR.MOV clip.
Does it pretty much apply that the least compressed codec results in faster export/encoding?Thanks!

The least-compressed codec requires less CPU resources to decode, but it will require more disk bandwidth.
In general, I think that transcoding DSLR footage to a lightly-compressed format like CineForm, DNxHD or ProRes is a fine practice.

Cineform is the best option. Pro Res and DNxHD would be the next with DNxHD better on Windows now with CC.
