DXV3 vs h.264

Post by rawdesigns »

DXV3 is awesome sauce with performance but it’s biggest downside is filesize. What’s the pros and cons of each codec? I play a h.264 clip and seems to run just fine and is 49mb compared to 1gb

Let me see if i get this right:

h.264 is mostly build to just play a clip from start to end. The codec only saves the different between a keyframe and the frames after. Add these differents to the frame before build the actuall frame. This is why you have a low size...
It is indeed a good codec and the quality is good.


Inside the Dxv File every frame is a keyframe and 100% present if you need this frame.




You maybe notice some different if you jump around in the timeline (bpm sync & random playmode)

H264 supports that every 1 frame is keyframe.
With Res6 you can keep footage library in H264 if resolution is 1920x1080, DXV only for hi-res, for event prepared content.
