Codecs

Which codec to shoot, edit, deliver.

What it does

Explains the video codecs, starting from what you want to do: shoot, edit, deliver, publish or archive. The codecs that fit light up; tap one for its card: what it’s for, intra or long GOP, bit depth, color, containers, where it plays, how heavy it is.

At the bottom, a short glossary. Each card has links to Containers and, for ProRes and DNxHR, to File size.

The cards stick to stable, well-known facts; bit rates depend on the camera and the settings.
