EXR is what I *always* use rendering out of C4D.One of the most common upgrade questions we see out there is asking what’s new, what’s different, what’s better, what’s changed between Adobe’s just-launched CC 2019 release and the previous CC 2018, CC 2017, CC 2015.5, CC 2015, CC 2014, CC 2013, or 2012’s Creative Suite 6? Or more fundamentally, what are the key new features and advancements in CC 2019 versus prior versions? My favorite choice is EXR with Piz compression, 16 bit floating point and just a little bigger than the animation codec, but superior dynamic range. All outputs were with alpha and set to trillions of colors (except EXR which was Float of course):ġ2 bit ProRes 4444 is like a THIRD the file size, yet is superior in terms of dynamic range due to the higher bit depth. Here’s a test I just ran of three codecs that support alphas, using a little test sequence with alpha. It’s not so much an issue with modern workflows. I think people like the sound of “uncompressed” - and it “was” actually important back in the days of tape to tape editing, where generation loss was a real concern.
If you need an alpha channel, ProRes 4444 is superior to the animation codec and uses less space. Uncompressed 8 bit is lower fidelity than a 10 bit compressed format like ProRes. Motion Graphics, Widescreen Events, Presentation Design, and | RenderBreak | Profile
If you’re used to using QuickTime PhotoJPEG, you could consider a JPEG sequence as an alternative.ĭesigner & Mad Scientist at Keen Live Personally, though, for C4D renders, I stick to image sequences. If you’re looking for a cross-platform, lightly-compressed, visually-lossless format that enjoys native support in Adobe apps, I’d suggest GoPro CineForm or Avid DNxHD/DNxHR. As Max notes, Animation is among them - but as you note, Animation codec files can get really big. In fact, the old 32-bit QuickTime library/codecs will not run at all on future versions of macOS (which will only run 64-bit applications).Īdobe has written their own support (via their MediaCore media handling framework) for the QuickTime movie format itself, as well as a selection of codecs. Adobe is dropping QuickTime support via Apple’s QuickTime library, because Apple has deprecated QuickTime on both Windows and macOS.
