Still image timelapse - best archive file to render to. at DVinfo.net

Robert Garvey · September 16th, 2008, 03:30 AM

Hi Vegas users,

I have been shooting some stills timelapse sequences using Canon DSLR cameras. I create this content but generally do not edit the final show. I provide it as stock imagery directly to the client, in conjunction with the regular stills photo work.

I size the jpegs still images to 1920 x 1080 pixels and then put them on the Vegas timeline.

My question is what would be the best cross platform, cross program, file type/codec to render to, keeping the best HD quality and I guess 4.2.2 colour space?

A universal file!

I did some .AVIs using the Cineform codec but not everyone has or wants to install the cineform codec.

I understand that Vegas does not handle Quicktime rendering that well.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,
Robert
