Donald Riley Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Would a music video look better if it was color graded with a lossless file rather than a lossy file?
Premium Member Tyler Purcell Posted December 12, 2015 Premium Member Posted December 12, 2015 Well, it depends on the type of compressed lossy format you're using. In most cases, lossless formats like JPEG2000 (Red Code) and Tiff (Cinema DNG) are far better as source materials then compressed formats like MPEG2/MPEG4 which is what MOST consumer cameras shoot.
Donald Riley Posted December 13, 2015 Author Posted December 13, 2015 Thank you, Tyler. I'm wondering if lossless color grading is overkill for a music video instead of color grading with Prores 422 or 4444.
Premium Member Tyler Purcell Posted December 13, 2015 Premium Member Posted December 13, 2015 Pro Res 444 should be fine, if it comes out of the recorder of the camera and not converted.
