    Hi there creative people.
    So I’ve been asked this last few years to render/deliver projects in numerous codecs when working for television(99% of the time).
    What are you guys using most to deliver to television? Prores or DnxHD? None of them? Open Atom MXF?
    AVHD?
    Thanks

    I am getting the media from Avids Interplay in a MXF container.
    Its either DNXHD if it has been recorded with their HD cams or its some interplay DV codec
    Resolve doesnt like the DV ones (archive stuff in SD, yes..still…) it so i pipe it through Smoke and do DPX sequences.
    On the way back i render DNXHD MFX 220 files which they can relink in Avid.
    And always in video level…

    A slice of color…

    Hi Sascha, thanks for sharing your experience.
    I dont have to pipe dpxs since I have most of the time prores or dnxhd to work with.
    But the problem is the producers are space freaks and want me to backup on prores lt or dnxhd 120, wich I disagree because its not worth the time grading if everything is back to an 8bit very compressed codec in my opinion.
    But the difference between 220 and 120 is half the file size and they keep bugging me with it.
    Best regards
