Re: [Avid-L2] Another Mavericks gotcha

 

It seems like ProRes in addition to H.264 will work - but you are right about the uncompressed.

Although - I _already_ get clients complaining that the uncompressed video is skipping on their computer @_@.

Why does the prores and uncompressed look No better than the h264?

Funtimes.

This might be more of an issue with non technical users (i.e. clients) than savvy editors.

That's because the QT that supports everything other than H.264 is deprecrated. It's going away within one or two OS releases. If it's not gone in the next, it will be in the one after, leaving no way to play the older QT codecs (and AVIs as well) on OS X. 

There's a new Mavericks provision to do the update automatically, so there's a playable file in the future.

QT OSX only wants to play certain codecs, if your movie is in something else, it automatically converts and makes a copy to play.

Apparently, when you open a non H.264 or ProRes movie in QT X, it automatically starts converting it. Fortunately QT 7 still works in Mavericks.
