Equivalent to Grass Valley Lossless for 10bit

[kpot]

Thanks anton, I ended up exporting ProRes HQ 4:2:2 10bit

Wait, are you saying what I set in the project settings for the render format has an effect on my final output file? I thought that was just for previewing purposes?

Hi:

Is there any reason why Prores HQ 422 10 bit is better than Edius HQX (422 10bit) ?
I would be interested on an answer.
Thanks in advance.

The only reason I can see that Prores 422 HQ is better than HQX is simply the ability for more systems to be able to play a prores file without installing the HQX codec pack. According to the HQX whitepapers, HQX actually retains more of the original quality through multiple decompress/process/compress cycles, but it isn't a native codec for a mac, and the codec pack available for a mac is Ouicktime 7 based, Newer macs don't have quicktime 7 on them by default, and I don't think it can even be installed on the newest Catalina OS.

Personally, I would prefer to use HQX during my work, and convert to Prores for the final export simply for multi platform compatability, or whatever other codec I need for the final delivery.

Thanks, that is understandable - kurt
