When to stay native

By Brian Liloia / November 1, 2007

When it comes to video format conversion for editing, there are general rules of thumb, and then there are specific cases that don’t always follow the norms. In a very handy artile, Philip Hodgetts talks about when to stay in the native codec, and when converting to another codec for editing and output might be preferable.

In his guide, Hodgetts talks a bit about the benefits of Apple’s latest all star codec, ProRew 422, and other specific codecs and whether or not to stay native during your post-production workflow. This is very useful stuff for editors that might be faced with juggling a hodgepodge of video formats.
