In this video, Chase from Zacuto explains the basics of choosing and setting up your codecs for every step of your production. Concepts such as interframe vs. intraframe, color depth, and bitrates are explained as they pertain to your workflow.

    I love how you managed to explain a very complex subject in a way that a even a little kid would understand what you're talking about. That is what I call a quality content.

      That isn't true. You think so only because you have heard these information before or you're kind of acquited with it even if you didn't fully get it. I, for example, understood everything in the capture codec almost effortlessly, I know what bits and pixel means and everything. But when he started talking about frames, I totally zoomed out.

    A quick explanation/visual(think audio bit depth) of how colors are "summed" would make this incredible video even better. THANK YOU!

    • @BandH
      @BandH  4 роки тому

      With 8-bit video file formats each color channel will have a variation of 256 shades per channel. The resulting combination of 256 shades each of red, green and blue means that there are 16,777,216 (256 x 256 x 256) possible colors. When you move up to 10-Bit you have 1,024 shades per channel, which when multiplied in the same way equals 1,073,741,824 possible colors.
      Thanks!

    Just a clarification, on a Canon camera while recording, All-i is the intra frame and IPB is the inter frame compression?

    • @BandH
      @BandH  3 роки тому +2

      Canon has added two compression formats- Interframe (IPB) and Intraframe (ALL-I) in the new generation mid and high-end EOS DSLR featuring DIGIC 5+ Digital Image Processor.
      IPB and ALL-I are essentially different methods of compressing movie files. There are varied benefits to using either IPB or ALL-I compression configurations. Videographers can choose the compression format base on shooting subjects and post production need. >Mark

    Does that mean that 4:2:0 sub-sampling leaves you with only a quarter of the original resolution of, say, an HD file?

      No, resolution stays the same, but the image will look noticeably worse.
