  • Best Codec for Uncompressed VFX work?

    Posted by James Carver on June 29, 2015 at 6:15 pm

    I need to export a 4k clip from my sequence to someone who’ll be doing some cleanup (sign replacement, etc) and matchmoving in NUKE. What is an uncompressed format best to send so that I don’t lose any information in terms of it being compressed, etc?

    I don’t seem to have an option for EXR. I’ve read DPX format is just as good?

    I’m assuming the person doing the work in NUKE should be able to send it back to me in the same format and I will still have pretty close to the raw footage I started with?

    I’m using adobe cc 2015

    DPX seq, Pro Res 4444, or DNxHR 444 are the best
