Hi to all

I'm working on a project with a projection edgeblend with less than 7000 pixels (6626x877). Four full HD 16:10 aspect ratio projectors. The videos have a very large size over 17GB, each video.

My question is.

What is the recommended video codec to get the best result in Such large video?.

I can cut the long video in 4 videos, but I get a better frame rate with only one long video.

Thanks and Best Regards.

How long is the file?
What framerate?
Is there audio?
Suggest you use a file resolution that is divisible by 16. (eg, 6640x880)

[A ballpark for 4k@25fps is approx. 75MBps in ProRes LT (261GB per hour)]

Hi, and thanks for the reply.

How long is the file? The original files in mov format. and a codec h264 have a size of between 12 and 17GB. Now I´m working with the graphic designer in a afterefect render using prores proxy codecs. It has been a council of Richard.

What framerate? The framerate is 30 frames.

Is there audio? No sound in videos.

Suggest you use a file resolution that is divisible by 16. (eg, 6640x880)Thanks, I'll try.

Best Regards

Try HAP codec, work very good. You can install on a PC and render in Aftereffect directly to *.mov HAP. File will be larger than in ProRes but play without any problem.

Don't use HAP - The ProRes family of codec's is the recommended standard for Catalyst at the moment.
