| Adobe and other media companies (Avid etc.) should have pressed hard that the core codecs used in media files from Apple, Dolby, Microsoft etc. should have some type of open source decode/encode for future digital preservation. We are not just talking about client files on commercial jobs which is a pain. There is massive amount of material (films, television shows, documentaries, personal memories) created with those codecs and combine that with the poorly thought out rush to dump physical media means there will be likely be a greater loss of original masters than in the flammable film days. Only people who've thought to output films to DCP format (JPEG2000 is archival quality and open sourced or a physical non-encrypted format - non copy protected bluray is about as good as what can be had there as other than 35mm film, there is no high resolution, high color depth physical media. A ProRes or Avid file is not a master - those codecs could well suffer the same fates in 10, 20, 30 years. This is a huge stick our head in the sands problem that will never go away, only get worse. -----Original Message----- From: After Effects Mail List <AE-List@media-motion.tv> Sent: Thursday, May 3, 2018 8:23 PM To: After Effects Mail List <AE-List@media-motion.tv> Subject: Re: [AE] updating and compatibility Apple can be especially uncool.
