The Verdict on Format

Post by Liberated Images »

I'm wondering what y'all have found works better for you than others in regards to video format. So, what sort of codec and containers do you prefer to bring into DOM for converting them into DCPs?

The best way to do this is to make a sequence of images in 16bit tiff format, with DCI resolution and P3 or X'Y'Z' color space.

Or Image codec: From a Prores 4444 DCI resolution (2K or 4K).P3 or Rec 709

Or Video codec :
Prores 4:2:2 HQ 2K 10bit
DNxHD codec 4:4:4 or 4:2:2 10bit
CineForm 4:2:2 10 bit

the other codecs are emergency solutions
