Plus, for rendering image sequences do have their value but having a single file master is ultimately far more useful and safer e.g. why DCI wrapped those JPEG2000's in a MXF for distribution, playback and archiving. PNG image sequences I often see playback reliability issues with as well as other problems so I don't use them at all. And many apps (looking at you Premiere CC and several others can't even write those or write them poorly (Sony Vegas) often without compression or higher bit depth options. Plus the compression schemes are old and antiquated. stephen van vuuren 336.202.4777 http://www.insaturnsrings.com/ http://www.sv2dcp.com/ http://www.sv2studios.com/ A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later. -Stanley Kubrick -----Original Message----- From: After Effects Mail List [mailto:AE-List@media-motion.tv] Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2014 6:07 PM To: After Effects Mail List Subject: Re: [AE] Lossless movie format On Jun 9, 2014, at 10:52 AM, Stephen van Vuuren wrote: > We've suffered long enough under piles of 16-bit TIFF image sequences - bring us MOX!!!
