The Panasonic HC-V750 Full HD Camcorder features Full HD 1920 x 1080 recording along with an Advanced Level Shot Function and a 5 Axis Hybrid Optical Image Stabilizer+(O.I.S.+). It also features the combination of an all-new lens, sensor, and engine for enhanced

zooming and high sensitivity. The Crystal Engine Pro+ engine enables slow motion video shooting in Full HD with smooth playback at 240 fps (actual recording is 120 fps) with Intelligent Frame Creation.

Question 1: H.264 vs Apple ProRes 422 Question - Urgent for Film

Hello,I've completed editing a film in FCP X with Apple ProRes 422 clips at 1920×1080. I sent a cut clip from the timeline to a SFX person via dropbox. He sent the polished clip (with the new SFX) back in H.264; he's not working on a Mac because he doesn't own one. I imported the new H.264 clip into my timeline and everything looks great. Question: Does this matter? Does it matter that a clip in the timeline is H.264, while all the others are in Apple ProRes 422 clips (the ones that didn't need effects)? My guess is that it's not because H.264 is a finishing format but I want to be sure. Thank you in advance for helping out. Much appreciated.

One of the most common questions that I get from people regarding the new breed of DLSR cameras is "What's your post-workflow?"

Question 2: H.264 vs ProRes 422

Hey, i was reading this post the other day where you guys were talking about apple's ProRes 422.

i want to know if there is a high difference working with them, i have done a few projects with Final Cut Pro using the raw H.264 footage from my 60D without knowing about the pro res. Then i red the post and i wanted to test it out so i converted a few clips with compressor too see the difference while editing or rendering and i couldnt find much.

What do you think?

Question 3: Apple ProRes vs H.264

What's the difference between the Apple ProRes codec, the Apple ProRess HQ codec and the H.264 codec. I know the filesize of the ProRess is much more then the H.264, but what's the real difference??

Question 4: Apple ProRes 422 vs. H.264 Editing w/ FCP X

I am editing a project on Final Cut Pro X and was curious what format my video files should be for editing. I know ProRes 422 is a codec that pros use to edit and it has a much bigger file size, but I don't get the difference and which format I should be using to edit my project. Can someone please explain to me which format I should be editing on for my project! Thanks!

Solution:

No matter you are a filmmaker, multimedia professional or still photographer, Canon or Nikon camera will be a choice due to its highly mobile, lightweight features including Canon 5D Mark, Canon EOS 650D, Canon PowrShot G1 X, Canon SX40, Canon ESO-1DX, Canon EOS 7D/5D, Canon EOS 60D, Canon EOS 550D, Canon EOS 500D, Nikon D5100, Nikon D3100 Nikon D800, and more. What these cameras have in common is that they can record 1080p H.264 codec MOV footages.

H.264 (an MPEG-4 variation) is an aquistion (camera) and distribution (web streaming) codec. It's highly compressed, which means that the files are small, and Final Cut has to do extra work each time you play your timeline, make an edit, etc.

Apple ProRes 422 is an editing codec. It uses much less compression, which means that the files are big, but Final Cut can play it more easily.

Best practice is to edit in ProRes 422, especially if you have lots of layers and effects. That means you spend a little extra time optimizing your files to ProRes 422 before you start, but you save time in the long run.

As you got into more complicated editing such as adding multiple clips and transitions and effects you would start to see a more pronounced difference, i.e. FCP would need to render more often and editing wouldn't be a smooth. H.264 is really optimized to be a delivery codec while ProRes is optimized to be an editing codec. That said, if you just need to do a simple edit and your Mac has the power to edit H.264 you can get away with it no problem, but if you plan to do a heavy edit with lots of transitions and effects and color grading you will be best served by ProRes.
