Uncompressed or Compressed That is the Question?
I was recently told by a Post Supervisor that he had always worked uncompressed on his shows. My experience primarily in Avid is everyone works in DNX in HD which is compressed but a strong codec. In FCP I thought Prores was the codec of choice kinda the DNX of the Final Cut world. For short pieces I can see how uncompressed would be viable. In SD I always do 1:1 uncompressed but never in HD for my hour long projects and series. Beside overall drive space doesn't uncompressed put a heavy tax on bandwidth even if the actual processing of the data is more efficient the amount of sheer data seems problematic on a large series scale. Curious what others think.
