You can always try and test it out, with PNG you're trading more processor overhead for file size. When decompressing and re-encoding you will get a larger hit on the media conversion speed vs TIFF from what I've experienced. I haven't worked with PNGs that went above 8 bit levels however so YMMV. I would personally run a test of 30 seconds of footage and see if converting becomes bogged up.

Does anyone have any tips or a link for reading up on how to decide on an image sequence format. I'm currently working on a project where we're rendering 16bit 4k TIFF sequences, and then converting those to prores or DNxHD. I feel like the sheer size of these TIFF sequences is really slowing us down, both in reading the sequences into AE and server traffic. Am I wrong in thinking we could speed things up using PNG or another format?
