Sheer video codec
I posted this inthe AJA forum as well.
Hi,
I have been working with this codec and it is a really nice product. The picture quality is pristine and I love that it only uses half the space of uncompressed video. I do not think that FCP has RT enabled this codec, but they might with enough user response (not that FCP really cares about the PRO market 🙂
So this is my request, just copy paste it into your FCP feedback form. Imagine doubling the HD space for all of those HD projects that need double the space after rendereing the color correction. or working with smaller sized SD uncompressed on your firewire drives.
“Could your RT enable Sheer video’s codec so that users will have the option to save disk space with uncompressed SD and HD video. This would get users who frequently use Uncompressed 10bit codecs, get more out of their hard drive space. This is a big advantage because virtually everything gets rendered (particularily in HD) and we could use the extra space.”
I suggest you give this codec a try (it’s free) if you use Uncompressed codecs a lot.

How fast does it encode?
I usually backup 48 to 52 minute 10-bit programs as a self-contained Quicktime file to firewire drives. How long would it take to encode 90 GB of quicktime with Sheer Video codec?

It is faster than 10-bit uncompressed. You should download a trial (FREE and fully functioning) and runa few tests. The reader is free to anyone so if you archive with it anyone can install the reader and read the files through QT.
