Re: [Avid-L2] Re: codec for 4K QT?

 

I would stay clear of QT for any vfx workflow. QT is forever locked in its 32-bit world, works very poorly in a vfx pipeline. Doesn't work in render farm environments. And you have absolutely NO control over your gamma. QT is fine for editing and review purposes, but not for vfx work.

The safe route is to go 16-bit tif sequences with no data compression, rec709 gamma. Big files but they load fast and disks are cheap. DPX sequences only with a LUT selected by the vfx house.
